my mate took the car of the road in 2005 and it stood under a car port
till mid 2009. when i offererd to store it as he was haveing some building work done and needed the space.


so the car stood in my lock up for a mounth or two and then i poped the question to me mate CAN I BUY IT he had this car from 3 years old it was
a big thing for him https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1000691/vwgolfmk1058.jpgbut after a week we did a deal and the projet started.

so i whent shoping for the bits .
