Tom-173 Ph2 172 Turbo



  Polo gti
Thought its about time i started my build thread for my new 172!

I had my first ph1 172 at 19, which was such a fun little car, other than a thew issues i had along the way costing quite abit.. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1361314873.402081.jpg

After owning it 6 months, i got offered a mint dci, £600, 6 months MOT, 6 months tax. At the time i wanted too save some cash so this was perfect! ImageUploadedByTapatalk1361315048.002324.jpg

I then sold my Ph1 too my brother in law, he had been crazing me for months as he had picked up valver and wanted too f4r it. Hes on CS, leegtt88 i believe!

Ever since i sold my Ph1 ive missed it alot! Not helping the fact my mum had a mint Ph2 iceberg... A thew months later, my Ph2...ImageUploadedByTapatalk1361315348.385682.jpg

I wanted too turn my Ph1 into a track car, but funds not allowing at the time, i never got round too doing it! So this one is going too be my new track/road project!
Picked up a full cup car race system ImageUploadedByTapatalk1361315496.369082.jpg after alot of messing around, i got it fitted! Sound so good, just what i was after. Later that day i began stripping ImageUploadedByTapatalk1361315654.719155.jpg ready for a coat of paint. Going for gunmetal grey inside, collecting cage saturday which will be satin black, then the outside too follow. Being a paint sprayer by trade, it makes it aloteasier for me too do this. Ordering my bimarco seats this week ImageUploadedByTapatalk1361315830.202426.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1361315843.802173.jpgImageUploadedByTapatalk1361315857.251825.jpg

Looks awesome Tom! You should have smoothed the washer holes over in the bumper though :(

You are also rubbish at posting photos in a normal/readable way lol. Looking forward to seeing this soon/the ring trip :)
