83 Gti set to get full resto

LOL, we're running out of days in July now  

Small update but a nice 1!!

KW V2's arrived after a few weeks waiting, so got them fitted today.

Full Trackslag exhaust has been fitted, 3" Down pipe into 2.5" exhaust, can't wait to hear it!!

Wiring has been sorted out and she's just about ready to fire up

KW's

Trackslag exhaust looking great! Can't get a decent pic of the whole exhaust until I can get the car on a lift.


Few things to sort out before she hits the road for the first time. The brakes need sorting, I did them once but I've got a couple of leaks that need sorting, that's a job for tomorrow.
I've had the battery relocated to the boot so need to make a tray for that.
Boost pipework is still in the process of being made. After that, Im almost there!!

Looking lovely Andy. Will be a monumental day when you get her on the road  

Matt

Certainly will Matt!! how's yours getting on? Haven't been on here for a little while so need to catch up.

Unfortunately it's ground to a full stop  

Probably need to get the school holidays out of the way, then get things going again  

Any idea when you'll be taking her for a spin? Got any photos of the battery in the boot?

Wow, looking great Andy. The Trackslag systems look and sound excellent, you wont be disappointed

You'll have to stick a video up of your first fire-up  

Amazing build done a great job …. just spent ages looking though the whole thread

Cheers, Jamie. It's 2.5 years in the making now lol but not far away!!

Her's a few pics from today, just doing a few finishing touches at the minute.

Fitted the front and rear bumper for tha last time(hopefully)




Side stripes




Made a battery tray for the boot.




All the wiring is sorted apart from the radio but I'll leave that for the pros, I hate wires lol.

That's it for now peeps.

Very nice. Loving the black bumpers. 

I've got some chrome ones, but thinking of going black.

Cheers Matt, yours would look nice with black bumpers. Just done a quick search……..



   

This weekend, nice one! Liking the black bumpers too ;-) is the end cap on the front bumper upside down?

Cheers bud. Not sure about the end cap, I've never taken them off since I bought them so it's just the way they were

I think it is the right way round though looks a little odd in the pic. Perhaps it isn't located in the mounting holes properly???

More than likely Al

I wasn't certain but thought should mention just in case. It wouldn't be the first thing upside down   (I'm bad!   )

No, you are right mate! upside down, back to front, inside out, you name it, it's happened!!

Looks great!

Those black bumpers do look good    daft question, but is there too much black with the bumper, end caps and trim all being black?

Cmon mucker I'd of thought you'd have finished this by now 

Looking great.

Decided where the first drive is going to be?

I know what you mean mate but I'm just going for black only, I even painted the door handles all black. TBH, I haven't seen it all together at a distance yet. I think the lips of the BBS's will break it up a bit
