Disagree. - It was my first Gti - It was the first car I worked on ( I didnt know how to remove a bumper before this lol) - I learnt how to do basic body work on them gti bumpers. I resprayed them from red to black - I bought the car for £200, I kept the engine, gearbox, bumpers, skirts, all...

Not many bits... LOL The engine got scrapped. I think the only bits out there are the bumpers, gearbox, wheels and headlights. I only kept the original key.

I bought it for a few years ago for £200... I had a few laughs in it but the shell was rotten in all the worst of places. It was my first of many GTIs In the end it was used to convert my 1.6 sri to an 5dr sr20 with gti kit

Totally agree about the wheels, I had/have the same issue. Ive got 215s on the back but still not 100% happy, Ideally i need spacers The vzr grille use to be my favourite but I think the 2 slat and open mouth suit the autech kit better.

I think its just because you can see the radiator behind it, maybe some mesh or a matt black spray can could resolve that issue.

ah ok, I thought maybe it was the one I bought but its not.

Funny thing is I really wanted Grid Vs at first but after couple of people mentioned that they were after them too I decided I would look for something else.

Its been parked up since Sept last year. I was thinking of getting rid but my youngest brother wont let me lol. I think ill probably just drive it as it is until he gets his license.

Where was the car located?

After seeing Robs Autech thread I thought I'd do a small update on mine. Bought these a few months ago, you may recognize them as they've been on few members cars over the years including Dales Autech and Hallys VZR The paint was flaking off and the edges were kerbed so decided on a quick...

This is my one before i bought it N616 OGF

Ah yes I remember the silver one but its the first im hearing about the one in chesterfield.

I can't remember what mine was, i know the guy i bought it off had it for 11years and im pretty sure he was the first Uk owner. Doesn't really matter now since i had to re-shell mine. I know its been asked before but besides the six on the forum are there any more in the uk?

Finally some pics! Really liking the overall look. Love the colour of the wheels. We've got quite a few similar mods on the autechs I think i need to get mine back on the road just to meet up and take pics lol!

I'm sure its RAjackson's old spoiler

All the pipes your referring to I believe use to connect to the carbon canister, which are not need. Have a quick look at shaggy masters old thread, then you'll understand.

I sold Lee all the bits for the conversion and a few other bits. The engine came out of a ph3 gti with decent mileage and if i remember correctly I think the speedos out the same car too. The bumpers are off Stu-Es old car.

I had a similar problem when I did the autech conversion. Fuel pump wasnt sending any fuel, i found that the fuse had blown near the steering column. After that it fired up. I think you should check yours if you havnt already done so.

Love these cars. nice project! Id leave the spoiler on.

Took some time off work last month so had some free hours to put towards the project. Wanted to fix the bumpers and skirts as they were badly scratched and damaged I had this laying around so thought I might respray it as well Cleaned up the interior Front bumper and grill...
