haha just showed my missus this haha, we will see what happens, airs looking possible, and if i do a engine conversion its not going to be gti, I'm thinking more like a pd130 with bigger turbo, exhaust, remap and front mount, in a nice cleaned nearly smooth bay. time will tell tho :)

cheers for the comments mate does mean alot :)

Haha what was her reaction!?:) I had looked into air but I'm on 13s and already stupidly low so I would only get a few mm extra drop when parking for stupid money lol didn't make sense. Ahh cool defiantly different!

No bother man. Like I said the amount of work you've done is unreal!

yep i have just stripped a £300 steering wheels, not liking the grey so getting the centre painted, not sure if i should get it done gloss black, blackberry (colourcode) so something

else

oow and my wiper stalk has also crapped its self some how :( i can turn the wipers on but then not off lol

Edited by zipsp

Nice to see the motor today buddy, the colour is so much better in person than in the pictures.

Steering wheel should be colour coded in my opinion. It would be nice to see what it looks like with that lupo 3l style grill. Can't wait to see it finished :)

Keep up the good work
