Exhaust turned up in a terrible state, so a bit of wire wool & Autosol all good now:

Just recently bought some GTI inserts for the seats, looking at some upgrades in the future once the 12 month VW warrenty runs out.

Must say excellent forum and will start a build thread next year with upgrades.
Sold the MK1 GTI for the edition 30. Pic of perfect driveway, we have a VW fetish in our household :laugh:

Great spec'd car, welcome to the forum!! :happy2:

Lovely car! What grade wire wool did you use for the exhaust? Mines looking as bad if not worse than yours!

Thanks for the kind words.

Not sure what grade the wire wool was, just some that i found in me shed.

Strange, sitting in the edition 30 & driving it reminds me of my MK1 campaign. Absolutely love it.

Welcome! You didn't fancy the drive from wales? Would have been a lot of fun! :driver:
-
Agreed would of been great. Decieded to get it trailered to me as it takes the stress out of getting there etc... and it was included into the price of the car :jumpmove:
Been thinking about Mods for the future:
Cruise Control
Revo Remap
BCS powervalve cat back
Pannel filter or maybe some induction kit
Maybe paint wheels steel grey
S3/R Brakes

Great motor and welcome to the forum :drinking:

Hi there, thats a nice lil trio
Welcome from another noob
-
That's a cracking looking Ed30, my favourite colour in SG. Slightly biased :smiley:
MK1 looks a dish too. More pics of both would be cool :happy2:
-
Lovely car there mate, definitely jealous!
Where did you get the seat inserts from? Looks class!
-
Welcome. Always great to see another steel grey ed30.
-
Lovely car - looks as though the first owner ticked a lot of options!
The exhaust came up very well - seems that owners these days just don't bother with cleaning the chrome. Was very disappointed with mine, even after wirewool & autosol.
Look forward to how you get on with the car, and as said before - show us some more of the mk1 :smiley:
-
looks nice that mate, can't wait until I find one I like
-
Great looking car
I wish my gti had them wheels instead of the monza's

Looks good on the drive with the "Family" you have there. Previous owner looks as though they looked after it well
