83 Gti set to get full resto

Not much better tbh mate! I did forget to take 2 of the runs out of the can before I started

Another pic from the painter today of the doors etc being painted, not a very good pic but you get the gist.



I'm going down to see the car tomorrow and to drop off the door seals etc ready for the transporter. Transporter is booked for next Saturday!!

Looks like Christmas is coming early for Andy #3!!  

Next Saturday is gonna be such a good day for you

Don't think I'll et much sleep on Friday mate!!


Been to see the car today and it's looking brand new!! I am sooo impressed with the quality of the paintwork, Jon has done himself proud! All the painting is done and they are now flatting back and polishing. Here's a few pics from today..





Stonechip on the inside of the wings




He's even sound deadened the floor which has saved me a job.


There was a lovely Mk1 Caddy there at Jon's, anyone here?


That's it for now peeps, the next update will be from my unit!! yeehaa

WOW!!! That's looking niiiicccceeeee!!!

Gonna be a show winner this mate!!!

Thanks, Sure is mate!!  

Looking great now! Can't wait to see the rebuild mate!

Woah, that it was sweet looking paint job Andy, stunning 

Nice caddy too.

WOW!!!    

Cheers lads!!  

Well, Christmas has come early in this house today, in the form of a Wavetrac LSD



It's a thing of beauty, seems a shame to hide it away in the gearbox


Install kit


Hopefully it will be getting fitted in the next couple of weeks

  bet your itching for the weekend aren't you  

Certainly am mate. It's only Tuesday and I've already had 2 sleepless nights since Saturday  

thats looking really nice, if your sticking a LSD in what engine is going in?

Cheers Kris. 20V T AGU lump, K04 turbo, FMIC, Stage 2 map and Trackslag full exhaust 

Exhaust pointing the wrong way lol

oooo fast rabbit. hope you get it finished in time for a few shows. think i will have to start a build thread but all wait till i get another shell and somewhere to keep it

Yeah, should be quick enough lol. The plan is to get it mapped so it's under 300lbs/ft and around 280bhp Max, gets a bit risky after that. I'll probably upgrade the rods next year if I do want more power.

aye thats pretty healthy, should defo make for a interesting drive, are you keeping it looking standard on the outside?

Are you fitting the LSD yourself Andy ? Think this is next on my list for my car now.  Paint and engine is looking spot on !!

Yeah mate, few subtle mods on outside, bbs rm's, lowered, S1 bumpers, that sort of thing.

Cheers Ad, 

I'm not fitting the diff mate, wouldn't know where to start tbh. A local mechanic is doing it. 

If you're thinking of going for a wavetrac diff, Part Box was the cheapest place I could find, £130 cheaper than anywhere else. If you need more info give me a shout
