Subject: GTi rebuild..
Bought this off Chris vvc a few weeks ago now and had it delivered last weekend, it was turley's old shell i believe which has had a full respray and other bits. It isn't what it was cracked up to be and the paint isn't all that good and rust in places where it was supposedly welded at the bodyshop but it'll get there.

Chris was very honest with it when I was buying it and it was exactly how he said it to be but I feel he got his fingers burned when he bought it. Pictures can be very deceiving.

Here it is when it got dropped off

Plans are 1.8turbo, coilovers all roudn, powder coated tank, rear subframe to match front, built up with all new parts that it can be, wireless and smoothed engine bay and floor all painted red so by end it will be like a new car but we'll see how it goes.
