Haha took me ages to workout imageshack plus been busy doing the roof lining which I'm glad I did in fabric and not just paint it you staying black with the respray mine was dirt cheap and done over a weekend where I work at least now you know what I've done to it but I think I've missed loads off

Hi mate interestingly I know the previous owner of this car! His initials are SJG (hence the private plate that is still on the car), he had no end of trouble though with the gearbox! he had it reconditioned/replaced atleast 2 maybe 3 times, he then ran out of patience and money with the car and let it go to 'dubbers' for a stupidly low price. He owned it from about 2002/3 to whenever you bought it from dubbers. Despite his problems with it this was the car that really made me want a GTI, I then purchased one myself in 2008 and owned one for about two years, fortunatly though I never had a bad experience with mine and loved every minute of ownership.

haha such a small world wasnt expecting this i put a gearbox in from a scrapped one that i got checked out and a clutch when i bought it as it was crunching into gears and since then touch wood its been fine i bought it as it was the cheapest one arround and had full leather bloke at dubbers told me about the plate ive loved every minute of owning this one even if it is a money pit :lol:
