Looks like abit of hard graft has gone into this project,well done dude you must be quite pleased with the end result.I'd change the air filter you're running or at least try and locate it nearer to the front area away from the engine,when the engine bay is hot the only thing that position will achaive is hot air from the engine bay.Other than that i like it alot,woldn't bother with the pink wheels though they look lovely in silver.

Looks good mate - nice job

All i have to say is I agree with Brad - youll get alot of heat soak from the engine with the filter where it is, so perhaps consider relocating it to a cooler location.

Great work mate! Exterior not to my personal taste but love the project.

Third agreement on the air filter, plus it won't clash with the strut brace also!

Why all the effort swapping engines etc?

Personally i think the gti is a better looking car than the 6n??

but hats off and all that,

i would say the same
The car is pretty good but So much effort is it need it for the 6n

little update, reason i didnt buy a 6n2 GTi, personaly i prefer the look of the 6n and also the original 6n engine blew up so instead of having a dead worth nothing 6n and buying another car i changed the engine
