Edition 30 rolling resto.

The car came with a nasty pattern bonnet which didn’t fit properly and was rusting on the inside.
Was a shame to have to replace it as the top was mint with PPF fitted.

Fitted a genuine  used bonnet in the right colour. Also bought a pair of genuine wings in the correct colour which were very good as they were replacements. In storage for the time being but had to have them.
One of the wings is now obsolete from Volkswagen. 


Replacement bonnet fitted , need to have a look at the headlight alignment and the bumper. Will do that when changing the intercooler.

Finally a few pics of my other gti , mk1 with 1.8t. Stock look but most parts have been upgraded.

MK1 looks mint mate, not often you see them in silver, I love the wheels too, are they Zender Turbos? Or those Renault 16v ones?

Mk1 looks sweet, sits so well

Thanks mate, needs a few more fine adjustments but it's nearly there.

Nice one mate.
Finally made a start on the rear end strip down, no surprises to what I found.

 I wasn't going to drop the rear subframe this time but looking at it, it makes sense to do it all in one go!










Side skirts off next to see how badly the sills have gone from having holes at the end. This is turning into a can of worms!!

[Graney_ED30]

Uh oh!!! And it starts, aye it makes sense to get it all done in one go if ya can have the car off the road

Aye it looks a bit crusty there like, hopefully once you get it ground back it doesn’t go too far 🤞🏻

Looking forward to seeing how it turns out!

The rest of the inner arches don't look too bad. Looks like the previous owner had tried to slow it down with some sort of under seal.
 One of the rear coil overs was locked solid, no wonder the ride was so bad !! .
