Someone has gone to a lot of trouble to build that and then to sell it - madness..
No so keen on the interior but the engine bay is lovely..

Not even looked at the link but gonna guess it's that green thing. Build quality definately looks great I'd say just the actual style not to my taste and the interior looked nice when I saw the pics in golf+ I think it was but just looks wrong in those pics. Leather is all loose in parts too. Also no idea what's goin on in the boot. Worth buying to stick a standard interior in me thinks though lol.

really not a fan of the interior, reminds me of a leather bean bag, it looks baggy (if that makes sense)
everything else looks mint!

Urgh! The rear number plate looks like a complete afterthought. I can appreciate the effort that's gone into it - but also why it is up for sale.

Interiot too far removed from mk1 to interest me but like the engine.

Must have been a right chew on to get the FSi engine in there. Worth it though, it's a great block. Not too keen on the interior though.

I like the outside and engine bay, must say the interior isnt nice, looks like the Mr soft advert
Plus those speaker pods are ridiculous, havent they ever heard of staging?

The interior is, err, different but not in a good way except for the seats. They really shouldn't have bothered if they couldn't do it properly.
Not keen on the exterior either, looks half finished. Isn't a number plate supposed to be attached to the car, a few other bits seem not to be road legal either like no indicators. Agree that the rear plate looks like an after thought although surprised it isn't stuck inside the hatch, like the front!
The engine bay is the only thing that looks good.
Having said that it obviously had a lot of effort put in to it, so it's a shame how its turned out.
Trouble with it is that, unless you love how it looks, you can't easily rectify some of the problems.
Wonder what the reserve is?

Interesting. :?
Not fond of the interior at all.
In the engine bay picture, is that the world's smallest rad fan directly in front of the air in take?
It's a pretty unique conversion, I think the execution is lacking a bit with the baggy interior and the pipes hanging down beneath the front panel.
10 out of 10 for effort though.
