bare with me as this is my first thread, this is the 2nd gti 6 that i have owned, i had a stripped silver gti 6 with wrap around bucket seats and harnesses which i had when i was 18 i had this on the road up untill 8 months ago.i have recently brought a white rallye, seeing as there is only 200 made i thought id snap it up as it was my 19th birthday i wanted to treat my self
people may have seen this forsale on ebay- i offered him some cash and he accepted my offer so i picked the car up on sunday afternoon.
i am looking to keep the car as standard as possible as i do not want to de vaule it as it may become a future classic,
spec of the car so far is pritty much standard
spec- rallye shell 111000 had cambelt and water pump 2000 miles ago
previous owner fitted springs and lowered the beam on the back around 40mm
oz wheels- will be forsale soon ! as there not my cup of tea
a very large scooby style jap can!
plan for the car are -
compomotive wheels/cyclones for road use- will be on the hunt for some citreon c5 wheels for track use as i am only 20 mins from castle combe.
New exhaust as this is rather large and doesnt suit the car
will be keeping the interior as its good condition just needs a clean up, nothing that i decent shampoo machine cant do
will be up rating the suspension, with coilovers and new dampers on the rear, i expect i will rebuild the rear beam when i have time from college.
the car will be having a few touch ups on the paint job, as i close friends dad owns body shop locally and is very well priced so i will be taking it there for bit of a touch up.
will keep this updated with pictures and other little mods that i do along the way
hopefully the weather will brighten up and i will crack on with some progress
hunted round a few scrap yards for some citreon c5 wheels nothing just yet but not going to give up
LOTS OF PICTURES- THREAD
