    aha yea, well I'm going to take that real slow I think. First thing I'm going to look into is getting a few little marks fixed in the bodywork, then I'll do the budget again.

    Ahh good to see you picked it up Tim and are happy with it. I went around to Adam's on Sunday arvo and he said you were stoked to pick it up. Apparently your parents liked it as well which is a huge positive!

    Shame about the little ding in the front corner, couldn't be worse timing from Lana (friggin 2 days before the cruise!) Oh well, if it didn't have the ding you wouldn't have snapped it up at that price....very good IMO! He kept asking me whether he's let it go too cheap but I assured him it was all good. I didn't want to ruin a sale I half set up haha.

    I really like the wheels on it, always have. They suit it really well.

    Enjoy it mate!

    Yea my parents were really happy with the whole thing, which is always important

    I'm looking around now to get the ding fixed and a few spots cleared up around the bodywork, but they're all pretty minor marks so I don't mind them for now.

    I gave it a good clean today, the wheels were filthy! But it turned out really nice and will be getting a claybar/cut/polish/wax next week in my uni holiday

    Might take the wheels off and clean them really well while I'm at it.

    Also stuck my vww sticker on the back

    Looks very tidy to me and if i had 4k to spend i'd be doing something along these lines.

    Phase 1: Cut and Polish
    Phase 2: VW service and tune
    Phase 3: I'd be inclined to do the Mk1 headlight grill conversion and de-badge the rear VW badge
    Phase 4: Tidy up the interior

    There's my 2c's if you wanted to know.

    You really need to see this in the flesh.

    Phase 1: It's pretty damn clean as it is but yes could use a polish (what car couldn't).
    Phase 2: The guy who sold it to him is a VW/Audi specialist mechanic (was head mechanic at VW Gold Coast and VW in London somewhere). It doesn't need any engine servicing/work done. Tim knows whats been done.
    Phase 3: Why ruin a GTI and make it look like a non-GTI. There aren't many of these around, I reckon stocko GTI bodywork should stay.
    Phase 4: The interior is in exceptional condition.

    more photos Tim...interior and engine bay?

    My parents have successful convinced me to put $2k towards my $4k debt, so that figure is now halved, but it's all good, by the time I work out what I want to do with it, I'll have time to save the required cash anyway
