Right so got myself a garage for winter and bought another gti to use :)

spent the last few weeks sorting the garage out so could only actually start working on her this weekend :(

Managed to get a few bits out of the bay ready for cleaning and then started stripping the front end

This weekend has proper made me think about where i wanna go with it this winter, so unsure on what to do with the bay ? deffinatly pulling engine out and having everything fresh but im slightly torn with the idea of weather to try and do some smoothing? has anyone done much with a gti bay ? Seen some proper clean ones but nothing really out there other than mitch's?

Other plans are going to include kw's and new bushes allround along with the rear beam and front wishbones powdercoated same colour as the wheels :) may even do a few little bits in the bay the same colour...

so anyway i went back home and started cleaning a few bits before storing them

And now to price up some parts.....

Lastly leave u with a couple of piks from edition...
