Introduction
Hi guys,
So as some of you may of seen i had an S reg gti in black. Unfortunately this was involved in a bump that i felt was not fixable. Progess Blog
So today i got a big update and a step forward. I drove from Preston, Lancs to Kelso, Scotland to pick up a Silver Gti Rolling Shell. It needs my Engine, Gearbox, Front Brakes, Interior and maybe a few other bits n bobs.
We went in 'The Venga Bus'. A TD5 Defender with Disco Transfer and Few other select mods, absolute monster, and it flys Barely noticed the trailer behind.
So once we arrived i straped up the car and of we went through the scottish country side. Absolutely stunning.
After a few stops along the way......
and 350 miles give or take i ended up home. Gave her a good wash down before it went completely dark....
Tried to get most of the algae, dirt, tree crap and bird crap of the car, going to give it a better wash in the week and also going to remove lots of the panels etc to give it a good going over.
Plans are:
Clean the whole thing, even underneath
Drop in engine from the Black GTi
Put Half Leathers in until i can find suitable buckets and cage etc.
And pretty much go from there. Got lots planned but things will change as a go along. The biggest hurdle is the engine transfer
Hoping to use it on the track so a track slag is the way im going atm!
anyways more to come soon.
