When i first got the car decemebr 2007-


Took me a fair few months to actually spend anything on it appart from cleaning it, firstly i had the car go in for a full sevice and a cambelt and waterpump, when the garage had finished they took it to the bodyshop and had the sill repaired as there was damage to it from the previous owner, whilst i was catching a tan in egypt

Then i started enjoying the car for wat it was attending shows and deciding what to do........

At ultimate dubs 2008 parked next to me mates mk1 -


Then i set field and decided some RM's were needed so i set out to find a set in need of a refurb, finding a set standards which did need a refurb for 375quid so a bargin, they went to mike the polisher and got a full refurb powercoated black baskets and bolts chrome plated, whilst they was away i got a set of stainless dish's brand new 1.5" and 2", when they got back i had the fun of building em up,

trail fit-



And having a set of toyo proxes t1rs fitted all round in a 195/45 to give it s slight strech.

i needed to adjust the coilovers as they was rubbing so got the c-spanner out and started adjusting and then guess what they were that seized on, i ended up snapping one of the lock of clean off :-X baring in mind i set my hopes upto get em done for edition38 2008 so that was a no go'er got myself a whole new set of o-rings ordered direct from fk and had them all refurbed after edition so now there just like brand new £80quid poorer on o-rings

finshed article being after full coilover refurb-






thats how it stayed for a while then i added a few little touches a stubby drivers side mirror, got the b-pillars done in black, de-wipered the tailgate and also decided to add a bit of colour to the wheels :-p ......

wheels took me quite a while but its summat different just used red vinyl might not be to everyones likings but easy to take off.... (pics from the skeg-vegas show)

[jason11]

small update(not the best of pics taken em on phone)
just washed it-



And ive had a mate make me up a custom cold air feed just waiting for him to finish it of by getting it on his polisher, then it can be fitted-


also got a pair of mirror casings which are going shiney black.....

[Tim_GTi]

Have you trial fitted the air feed?

[jason11]

yeah kinda, im gonna need a bit of hose and then shorten the connector to the bmc down a tad, as it'd be to far over with the hose that'll connect it to the bmc and the air feed if ya get me !
