Dom’s Tornado Red Gti - round two!
« on: Today at 07:58:18 am »
Hi everyone,

Those of you who have been on here for a while might remember me. Almost 10 years ago I bought my first Mk5, absolutely loved it for a couple of years and then sold it due to my first child being born within a few months of starting a new job.

Build thread for the old one is here:

https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,85957.0.html

It is the only car that I have owned that I regret selling.

About a year ago I decided that I wanted another one, this time as a toy/project and ended up buying this:







It has 116k miles, really comprehensive service history, heated seats, power folding mirrors etc.

Generally it was pretty tidy, however it was obvious that it needed a rear wheel bearing doing.

I have spent the last 12 months collecting parts for it. Lots of updates to come later
