* Oppsy Daisy*
Well as you'll be aware from previous update's i have been having some trouble with the engine in my Mk2  and i'm not getting anywhere fast with it. So having finally cleared some room and getting rid of some remaining parts. I have been able to purchase another Mk2 Golf to use for a few months.
This time i brought an 8v 90Spec GTI, which has an absolutely mint engine. It has a full set of bilsten shocks and springs alround and a stack of reciepts for engine, brakes, services and various other work been carried out over the year's. The bodywork isn't the best but tbh i'm not fussed about that. Anyway enough blah blah blah onto the photo's.

Went and uncovered the car today after all the snow to check her over and to see some fresh paint as i'm having big withdrawal symptoms of good paint lol. Decide to give her a wash and attempt to get some half decent photo's with the digital camera.
Well as the better weather is getting here and i've have confirmation my new loom is enroute i shall be attacking the car over the next coming weeks to rip her apart to a shell again for the rebuild

This is a long term restoration project so not looking to do any drastic color change or wild body mods, more OEM subtle mod's / upgrades tbh

I now work at Innovation BodyworX so i get a very good price on work but i can give you a guide price of £1500 - £2500 depending on the amount of work required on the vehicle such as dent removal/prep/panel replacement etc also the color you choose will affect the price as some paints are inks/candys/pearls/solids/metallics.
