Sorry guys I'd love to spill the beans but this is going to be so original it'll make people physically sick. I'm not saying anymore until the project is finished and I'm sorry but I cant put a time on it either.

My MK3 is going to have a full resto aswell again pretty top secret, srry guys

Hey guys, a quick update, Des has been up to his old tricks again and lost is manifold to downpipe clamp, so thats been replaced, I've also refitted my glovebox which fell off, bodged up the battery trap from inside the car using silicone sealer and also fitted a nice sunvisor:

My old car, and my mate owned it , twice. I stuck the Mahles on it and other bits :p

I however did not do that monstrosity repair on that rear arch, that is pretty terrible.

What engine is in it now? Had a GT with GK inlet and weber carb when I saw it last.

Yeah it's pretty much the same now it's had extensive repairs and running problems. That terrible repair still needs sanding down and filling by the way ;)

oops sorry, for some reason I thought the previous owner did that repair and didn't finish it properly. :)

Nice to see its getting some love!
