I purchased my MK2 GTI 1983 rocco many years ago with the intention of building a show / race car that could still be streetable and legal. This project has no real budget... and will be completed some day..
Although i have yet to complete half of the body work i have made many alterations to it allready with the aim to improve aerodynamics as much as possible whilst keeping it tasteful. I have grafted in the original bodykit pumping the guards out a little and manufactured fibre glass bumpers, mirrors and rear wing.

The drive train i am using is the 02M 6 speed quattro with haldex from the audi S3, should prove interesting to fit.... I will be cutting and raising the floor tunnel between the firewall and back seat for clearance as i also plan to fit a 4" stainless polished exhaust system.
