So no-one has to trawl through the project thread I'll upload the pics here, and in any case I only have this car now, dont think I'll have more than one again (Not counting Stevo, Tasha's GTi).
This weekend, brakes fitted, brand new TOYO Proxes TR-1 tyres, interior installed, gear linkage fixed, exhaust on (2.5" manifold and downpipe, standard cat, 2.25" cat back with 3.5" exit), and a much needed clean. I'm happy with how she looks now.
Adding up the total cost of the project I think i have spent around £600 including what I sold off the scrap GTi. Not bad considering the shell has 68k and minimal rust (Going to bodyshop in september) and the engine has 50k. It was a lot of hard work by my jap-n-crazy.co.uk friends.
For anyone who doesn't know, I bought the car as a flood damaged shell (No bumper) along with a rusty and non-running red GTi donor car, and we basically created one 'new' car out of the 2, plus the remains of my old SRi.
