From a local meet. Snapped the throttle cable leaving though, it was to tight in the carbs and wasnt turning freely, after an embaressing tow home it's all sorted now.
Spent yesterday fitting all new gaz dampers, single leaf springs, front coilovers and a few new polyrace bushes. Safe to say it...
In Fareham bud, yeah its a local car, was px'd at my boss's garage.
I havent forgot about you bud, we are stupid busy at the moment, got cars waiting down the road as we havent got the room to jack them up currently.
Motorsport tools can get you one. 7k all in, alot if you wanted to build one from the ground up. But all my parts would transfer over, so 7k for a diy 2door mk2 is a bargain.
4doors have allways been hit and miss with people, personally i love 2 doors, but without 10/15k id never get an...
Thanks guys. Still a long way to go but it's on the road now so we are just enjoying it when we can. I'm getting married in July so progress has been slow as my attention and money is on that. Afterwards though, this is getting a lot more attention.
Bloody hell this needs an update.

New engine, cammed, bigger capacity, trick head, bike carbs. 130bhp
Gaz suspension all round.

And got my snow foam on.
As i keep saying i wont be doing...

Oh and im now on 120k and counting ;)
I say it all depends if you want to run a cat or not.
With a cat these systems are not that loud with a un silenced centre. Without they are quite loud, it changes alot imo.
Really good quality bits of kit tho
Look who it is! Good to hear from you buddy, im toying with theidea of getting somthing else but i cant justify it with a wedding to pay for.
Like isaid i wont do much to it now really. The mileage always concerned me but its got stacks of history and pad alot of stuff changed already.
Not alot has happened lately.
The car is still my daily hack, 119k now and still going strong, starting to turn me around of my fear of high mileage cars.
Done a few bits rcently;
Sorted my eml light out as it turned out to be a lamda sensor.
Fitted 16mm rear spacers and pms stud kit (rear...
