Well it all started playing golf one day, I was having a bad round until......

The guy who i was playing with happened to be the service manager at my local garage, he proceeded to tell me about one of his customers who had a GTI6 which had to go due to the arrival of a new company car, i knew the car in question straight away as it lived just down the road from me, after a little bit of prying and perseverance i got to view the car, as i remembered and had been told it had been mechanically maintained well by the garage with lots and lots of bills, however the interior not quite so good and pretty filthy (This got me thinking!)

When it came to the crunch i made an offer and walked away as the guy was not ready to let it go, or for what i offered, so as far as my thinking went i had been blown out the water already.

3 weeks later however i got the call, "your cars here to collect as i'm off on holiday tomorrow" so off I went!

in this 3 weeks though I'd managed to buy yet another go-kart to fill the mother in-laws garage up with the one i already have and now a car to put on her drive just in time for my operation 2 days later!

In the next 6 weeks of recuperation is when i met all you wonderful guys on here, i was helpless and had plenty of time so thought I'd sign up on here as i had plenty of questions that needed answers and lots of stuff i wanted to buy, well i certainly havn't been let down as everyone has been so helpful and such a credit, i cant thank you enough!

The car was perfect, I have always been around Motorsport as my Dad raced in top level saloon cars and my family had owned a Peugeot dealership yet i have never driven round a circuit myself............... Time to change that!

So far................ i have owned the car a couple of months now but only just got back on my feet, the mother in-laws spare room is full of parts I've collected and there's a car on the drive that needs building so here goes!



I just had to look at it for weeks now without being able to start!



My best mate decided he'd make a start for me, and seeing as everyone had helped me out i offered all the parts on here for free





This weekend the real work started, ready for some seat fitting this week, i intend to give everything i can a good go myself and learn as much as i can in the process

advice very welcome and accepted with open arms! hope you all have as good a laugh reading as I'm going to building!

People really struggle with this on these cars, the thing to do is cut out the box sections welded to either side of the tunnel (If you are having a passenger seat the same that is? Then you've more room for fitting in bars and mounts.

Well yes it's actually both, it's been a while since I looked at a standard floor pan. Cut out the crossmember that goes under the seat and chop back the box section that parallels the tunnel and you will have a bit more room to gt the seats further over and lower.

Well, been a little while since much has happened. Flat out readying the kart and stock car and at work doing loads of hours saving for Daytona 500 next year

Had a good weekend on her, got the rear beam lowered by a notch and the new adjustable shocks and springs on the front along with some mintex 1155 pads and the strut brace, an absolute transformation!

I wanted to get along to the French car night at ace too but only wanted to go if it looked half decent so when I had the car at home in the evenings I had all the seats and subframes back out and painted the floors, made myself some aluminium foot plates and fitted the rear interior cards which were ripped, splitter which was missing, mirrors as one was cracked and pillar vinyl's off Jord294 which was handy as they were split, sparco boss and spacer etc

That got me to where I am now:







Really enjoyed Ace, was nice to meet some peopke and put names to faces!

Not much will get done this weekend with brands hatch Saturday and Wimbledon Sunday

Next bits are, manual winders, finish and fit front door cards, tidy some more wiring, fit my p3 crystals which were a £17 bargain!!! And give her a good coat of t-cut and wax ready for the winter!

Cheers, opinions welcomed as always!

Well, havnt done much in a little while, got myself a cheap set of wheels to use as winter ones so started doing them last night. Mainly because I don't want to inialate the mags over winter etc. I picked up the 1.2's cheap, bought a set of 3 with 2 very good tyres for £11.50 and then found the 4th one that completed the set!

I think I'm going to keep the current wheels for circuit as I've got my slicks to go on them!

After this she should be off for a service and the dreaded MOT!
