Rosie the 'Rosa Sport :D

After a 121mile each way I finally picked up a Sport as I've been after one for a couple weeks. It's not exactly in the best condition body-wise as the previous owner's ex girlfriend kicked in both rear 1/4s, boot, bonnet and a wing. But I got it quite cheap :)

My mate had hardly used pads and discs off his polo gti so I decided to fit them but the discs were too thick!! Bought some standard discs in the end but still used the green stuff

Mods:

- Coilovers (not sure what they are but theyre comfy)

- K&N Air filter

- Catback system

Plans:

- Replace engine

- Make the car mechanically sound

- Sort out bodywork

- 15" Ronal Turbo's

Get this running mechanically sweet then sort out the body work, hopefully show worthy by next year. If this engine gives me problems I have got a polo gti engine sitting in the garage but thats last resort, I dont really want to do that.

After much thought and annoying effort to get this engine running right, I've decided to fit a new lump. Should be worth it in the long run got a new engine sitting at the side already just been serviced and cambelt done, so should be getting it done in the next few weeks. This car has really p****d me off but I'm determinded to get it sorted!!!
