    A 6th gear kit is very expensive btw, the cheapest one is a group buy on clubgti which is 1300pounds exc shipping + taxes. The quaife kit is a whopping $5000USD exc shipping + taxes. If it was just good cruising final drive ur looking for i would suggest putting a tdi 5th gear in and putting in an lsd.

    If u can do most things urself i would even take the motor apart and then send it to an engine builder to rebuild the head and port it so thatll even save u more money. The block u can take apart and send to get cleaned, honed etc.

    GL with it, it sounds exciting!

    A yellow colour concept... where was that when I was looking for mine. If nothing else I want to see it and drool over it

    I would almost consider selling mine and taking that one off your hands...

    Yeah I agree. I would love to see the arches and mirrors go black, though.

    I'd personally pour my heart and soul into it. I've done most of the work on my car on my own/with fellow mates and let me tell you nothing is more satisfying than finishing a big task for the day knowing that you've done something fun or cool to the car!

    I'd agree with most and say keep it and restore it to prior glory. It's probably worth it...lol.

    Sorry have to disagree with you there Mickey. The arches, mirrors and weatherstrips look great all the same colour as the car.

    I'm considering getting all mine colour matched for my VR after seeing those pics now.
