Hi guys

Bought my mk2 in February and have been doing various bits and pieces. Thought I would share to see if anyone has any improvements/better ideas for it!

List of things done:
New suspension all round - gas struts and springs lowered 4cm all round
New clutch
Panel added to bulkhead to strengthen
Rocker cover gasket changed

List of planned changes:
Full respray
Fix rust
Clean engine and add some finer details

Will add some photos soon!

Thanks!!

If the link does not work let me know.

New interior was acquired for very cheap - thought the blue would match the car quite well and lighten up the inside.

Some rust has been sanded back and had some treatment.

List of things to do:
- respray
- repair arch - booked in for september
- fix cold start issue
- tidy up the engine bay
- new parcel shelf and clips
- lighter grey carpets
