Mk1 project
I was helping do some gardening and needed some power so I whent in to the shed and at the back I could see a wheel.. I could make out it was a mk1 wheel so I asked if I could have a look and took loads of covers of and there she was!! In very very good condition.. So I asked about the history 3 owners from new 110000miles 1.6 8v gti not used for 10! Years and been used pence a week before that for 8 years! So in 18 years hardly used… Then I was asked would I like to buy it? Yes please and a price was set.. I have put some pictures of when I first pull her out of the shed.. O and I had to cut a tree down to get her out!

Looking at the costs of stripping and rebuilding the engine etc was going to cost a bit so I thought/new I wanted to do an engine swap after a loot of going back and forward I deci for a g60 I do not want more than 200bhp and I love the sound and power delivery of a g60 so I found a corado g60.

So the work to be carried out/done
Fully boshed
Coilovers
Bosh injectors
Rear disk conversion
G60 brakes
Hydraulic cluch conversion
I'm using some cheap alloys for the min so I can fit the brakes on the back…
Just so you know I'm not doing the work but I'm trying to stay as involved as possible…

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

The shell looks very strong, is there much rust on it?

It looks that original you could probably peddle it on for good money and have good change to buy a shell and build your desires from the ground-up

I think I'd have got it roadworthy and sold it for a profit!
Then bought a shitter to put the g60 in with the profit!
Good luck with the engine conversion!

G60's debatable but could be good, but a colour change to Gulf Blue?! you must be having a laugh!

Still, makes the original ones rarer and even more valuable.
