    My new (car/project/daily/toy/money pit) MkII GTI 16v

    Couldn't resist this when Matt put it up for sale. My project car has been doing my head in due to lack of time/skills/commitment etc and I was going to be looking for a MkII to be my daily in november when the lease runs out on my Polo. The fact its got a Loon'd ABF install certainly got my attention!

    Matt's done an awesome job on this conversion with insane wiring to make it as OEM (clocks etc) as possible.

    So after I got it home I went hard at it cleaning and swapping in my interior and other cosmetic parts.

    Anyway, don't think ill start a project thread (Look where it got me last time :p) even though Ive got a long list of things I want and to do. Just gonna do stuff when I can and enjoy driving it!

    Anyway heres some dodgy phone pics...

            Good to see you getting stuck in Mate.
            Recaros look phenomenal. Finally a worthy interior for that car.
            Keep up the good work. Upgrade those taillights

              yeah been getting stuck into it pretty hard and making a list of things to do/fix but is running awesome. Really pulls hard on the open road...especially compared to the old aussie 1.8 8v!

              With the tail lights, needs clear top/red bottom I reckon. Seems to work nicely with white/silver cars... like these..



              Probably first on the shopping list is suspension, then wheels although not too keen on running BBS RS/RM (even though id love to) as a daily. Only a matter of time before I end up with a bent dish, plus the cleaning is a nightmare.

              With the bumpers...they need spraying, will go the black paint option as it lasts longer than any treatment product.
