My new Mk2.

[Spyda]

Thanks to Matt, Dad and my gf I got myself another mk2, one that isnt smashed. The first thing i did was cut myself on the gear nob, off to a good start i think.

I got it for a fair price, the same price i paid for the red one and funnily enough it is in about the same condition as when i got the red one.

Here are a couple of pics I snaped today before i got stuck in to it.





It looks alot worse in person haha. It very very dirty in side and out but it goes prity hard.

I got it with a 2L bottom end, rebuilt box and vr6 brakes. I have also been told it has uprated sway bars and shocks but i have to double check these things. Its prity amazing to drive compared to the red one, ALOT more power.

So far i have:
-changed the mirrors with working ones
-fixed the passanger side central locking
-fixed the shift linkages
-fixed the horn
-re-atached the bumper and spoiler (still needs work)
-changed the vacume lines
-changed the ISV (but the idel is still crap)
-changed some of the cooling pipes
-swaped the air box out (too many holes)
-changed the wipers
-re atached some bits and bobs

Things that need doing off the top of my head:
-front engine mount
-at least 2 new tires
-timing
-the rear end needs to be redone, the hatch isnt painted on the inside and has been badly repaired
-the car steers by itself sometimes when your on the gas
-brakes need bleeding
-new head lights and grill
-idel issue
-crack in the windscreen
-cosmetic stuff

Im sure the list will get bigger once i book it in for a road worthy check.

The mods that will be done:
-ss exhaust including downpipe
-sterio (can you say 140db)
-interior will have some minor work done
-coiloveries
-electric windows
-alarm
etc..

.....and ive lost my train of though

I will keep this page updated as i go along, hopefully it will turn out a bit better than my red one.
