Hello peeps



Been searching for the right MK5 for a few months but after much searching I finally found one, and at a cracking price.

Only thing was the price reflected the overal condition and neglection so first weekend up there was a major service carried all belts tensioners blah blah, while we was there changed the fuel/ follower, PCV Valve & Diverter to a D. so after a few £££'s the cars now running on point.

So next up is it to go into the bodyshop to get some paint tlc and get my my bumpers how I want them.

Coilovers have landed too thanks to Tuningwerks, not sure of what wheels for those of you that know me I definatly love a wheel, so Im sure We've got something knocking about for it :)



Any way heres some pics





Too match sad I know but hey ho




And went out for a drive with the old DSLR and snapped a few







All comments welcome

I remember your build threads on edition38 :)
Is this car going to be as good as your mk4?

Hopefully not but problem is once you start modding a motor that you enjoy its very hard to draw the line as im sure most of us know.lol

Plans are simple with this for now anyway, Wheels, Coils & some audio fingers crossed :)

Update

Well not much to report just yet but still collecting odd bits.

Had a touch the other day,got a call from my painter who's a good friend of mine and asked me if I minded if he painted my car in a few weeks as he's got a few big resto's on atm which I didnt mind,

Had a word with vw and it turns out they may paint my drivers side under warrenty as theres a few bubbles around the arch so result

Had a chat with a good friend at tuningwerks so planning on an apr st 1 map in the next few weeks.

Bought this from work to match the USA rear bumper but not convinced tbh



So intalks with my mate to try n error a lil mod on the plate so may change direction.


Anyway detailed my brothers GT TDI last week only spent 7 hours as it didnt need much correction
