83 Gti set to get full resto

Cheers, Spen  She should be okay I reckon

If mot's were based on looks, you're car would fly through  sure it will anyway.

Congrats on getting her running too.

Cheers Matt, still a few things to get sorted but she'll be okay for MOT, can't wait!!

You'll soon be flying down country roads with people staring and smiling at you!

So, so jealous 

Good luck for the MOT but you'll have no bother I'm sure  

I bet once you've got a pass you'll get through at least one tank of fuel in less than 24 hours  

Cheers Andy, Yeah I'll be doing some driving around, that's for sure!!

Best of luck tomorrow.

Yeah been out all day today(around 6 hours) here, there and everywhere and it hasn't even used £20 of fuel! I thought it would have been very thirsty, happy days.

Cheers Watson. I'll definitely be attending some shows next year so you should get to see her. I've got a bit more tinkering to do before then though.

Definitely enjoying it Dubbuds!!

I thought it was fast when I first drove her but I didn't realise that the accelerator cable was badly adjusted and the throttle body was only opening 3/4 of the way, She's a little rocket now its been adjusted correctly haha

How's the tinkering going?

Its been a while since we've heard from you or seen any pictures of the car.  

Your last post mentioned that you'd sorted out the accelerator adjustment…… Hopefully you also sorted out the brakes as well  

Maybe that's why we haven't heard from you    recovering!

Any updates on this Andy?

Will we get to see it this year?

Hi all, god it's been a long time since I was on here

Yes Yomp I have some updates. 

The car is running well. Probably around 280bhp, it's stupidly quick, however the handling is rubbish, I couldn't work out what was wrong with it as I'm running KW v2s and everything is brand new. It feels like the car wants to go straight forward when cornering. I think I may have Sussed it though, if you grab a front wheel either side and rock laterally, the steering rack moves through the rack bushes, which I'm guessing is why the feels like it wants to go straight? 

Anyone had this happen know how to stop it. I can't get the clamps any tighter. Its ok pottering around the streets but that's not why I 20V'd it

Anyway here are some pics 

I'm also thinking of going back to big bumpers.
