#17: Re: Mr C's GTi Author: Mr_Cellexe, Location: HertfordshirePosted: Sun Mar 28, 2010 3:59 am ---- lol. trust me, its worse than yours Carol! (rear NS scrape, front OS & NS wings are knackered, bonnet is dented from a 'snow + post' accident, countless scratches, dinks and dents).
it looks alright when it clean i'll admit.
my biggest issues are mechanical tho, really down to the mileage i do (easily hit 1000 in 5days)
#18: Re: Mr C's GTi Author: carol206, Location: Dumfries and GallowayPosted: Sun Mar 28, 2010 7:21 am ---- haha well both of my front wings were dented (1 fixed now), back left panel is dented and scratched, back bumper is scratched and just about hanging on by a thread after a slight disagreement with a wall back in january. Oh and alloy is knackered aswell...not good. I used to do alot of miles a week (at least 42 a day) until i lost my licence, so now my milage is zero miles a week lol

#21: Re: Mr C's GTi Author: Bailey, Location: Finding Dr. RobotnikPosted: Mon Mar 29, 2010 8:26 am ---- Yea I agree the splitter looks a little too much!
#22: Re: Mr C's GTi Author: GazRG, Location: Bournemouth/CardiffPosted: Thu May 06, 2010 12:28 pm ---- Looks smart but +1 for not really being a fan of the splitter. Looks a little too snowplough for my liking.

#28: Re: Mr C's GTi Author: Harry, Location: StaffordPosted: Mon Mar 28, 2011 4:15 pm ---- You're doing all that for a clean? Jesus christ man!
#29: Re: Mr C's GTi Author: Mr_Cellexe, Location: HertfordshirePosted: Mon Mar 28, 2011 4:24 pm ---- not messing about with this one no lol. my first 'real' project in 10yrs and im taking my time with it.
The original idea was always to strip right down to the shell, reseal and repaint everything. then rebuild every part with uprated bits thrown in (bushes, mounts etc). Only this has turned into redoing everything from brake and fuel lines to relocated battery, fuel cell/tank and pedalbox!
not gonna spend huge amounts on this one, just a nice lil project for summertime B road blasts and track days.
#30: Re: Mr C's GTi Author: Didz, Location: UK, Isle of ManPosted: Mon Mar 28, 2011 4:39 pm ---- there was an xr2 that got the same treatment here. was an absolute buet. shame it got binned.
id love to find a car i feel is worth the work. Bet it will drive like a differnt car all together. Defo gonna keep an eye out for this as it progresses.
