How much roughly was the GTI conversion?

it was not that straight forward as it was a six speed conversion with a lot of other stuff put in at the same time. the cheapest way to do the standard gti conversion is to buy a doner car then sell on what you dont want or need.

Well fitted my rear axle and renewed rear disks and pads and painted calipers up. also bought a gti splitter and mudflaps which are getting colour coded to the car. today took it to a rolling road to see what its got, as its standard apart from panel filter. was chuffed with results with 74,500 miles on it now time to play with the spare head i have, after that put Lamin-x on fogs.

Is the engine a Lupo GTI one or is it just the cover? What 6-speed box did you use?

Awesome George!

I want to put mine on a rolling road, was at work yesterday and when they did the last one

You need more than an engine and box, A lupo gti was destroyed to build this conversion.

New winters

Well Ive bought another Engine and 6 speed box, engine to be rebuilt over the winter and fitted in the spring, now need to source some parts and pull my finger out.

How are the winter wheels of awesomeness getting on?

When you putting them on?

I have got the bolts, three lips have been polished and lacquered to protect from salt, one left to do, tyres in passage just need one decent afternoon to finish last rim, then rebuild and get tyres on and fit.

Mint!

Can't wait to see them on
