Bought the car in august for a run about in the winter while my gt turbo was off the road. Iv always liked the gsi's and you rarely see clean examples these days. Also bought it with intentions of eventually Let'ing it.



It was in reasonable condition when I bought it but I wanted it to be pristine.

Here's a few pics before I starter throwing money at it





On my mates pick up going for it's restoration



The paint work was really flat, bonnet was rusty with a few bubbles here and there round the window seals and on the boot. Had a large crack on the windscreen.

It's since then had a new bonnet/boot. (de wiper) New oe Gsi windscreen. All new window seals. New arch/skirt clips. New number plates, grill badge. New Gsi16v badges. Original indicators. New wing mirrors. Petrol cap seal. And a full shoot with a fair few coats of paint. Also bought some alessio's, got them powdercoated at romax and fitted 4 new 195 45 16 Yokohama s drives





































Still got loads on the to do list. Get some coilovers and a 300mil omp wheel next

looks great, although the bonnet being out of line with the wing would drive me insane.

I spoke to Dean about it but I didn't have enough money

Also offended Harry for the same reason

In demand they are.
