Diamond Copper Brown GTi
He was built in 1982 and imported from Germany in 1984, body is pretty much immaculate bar a few scratches which will be getting sorted soon. I'm the 2nd owner of the car
Here's some pics
Plans - Got coilovers sat waiting to go on once I've got new wheels/tyres, thinking of some polished teardrops for now.
Hoping to get a turbo on him, how easy is it to put a turbo on the existing 8v engine if it can be done? Any stories etc would be helpful

Will make sure I keep the thread updated once I've started getting the bits for turbo

Thinking of going for the BAM 225 engine, does anyone have any experience of putting this in a MK1? What kind of cost etc am I looking at?

Day after the wheels and coilovers went on
My tin top and the other halfs cab
Resprayed my grill
Still saving for a 20vt lump at the minute but with a flat to run too it may take a while!
Plans for this year get him tidied up a bit more, get some fresh white wall toppers ready for show season, respray my wheels, wind the coillies down a bit moreand get a few interior bits sorted

Yes front plate does need sorting desperately, it was only thrown back on quickly for my MOT haha!
Does anywhere actually still make the 3D plates?
Have thought about other engines, mainly G60 and ABF. The other half has an ABF lump waiting to go in his cab so I may see what that drives/handles like.
Thanks guys

ABF will be a very nice choice, plus go very well turbo'd!
