I've had this gti for about a year and a half now loved it so far had the usual issues dv failed, rusty wings, white wormed rear badge, pcv is now leaking, also had a knock sensor go and a passenger window regulator which lef the window down, but since getting these fix the car has been as reliable as they come.
Its now starting to come together below is my progress to date:
