Hi thought i would post a pic of my GTI that i bought last week.
Im not planning on keeping it, i just got to sort the finances out over the next few months so i can sell it and upgrade to a newer, cleaner GTi.
im in exeter, the car was like that when i bought it, lol. i would love to lose the stripes but the paint work on the roof isnt too great so i dont want to make things worse! got the car for £750, didnt know it was hanging about for a while. it drives well as you would expect and the mrs loves it.
right, ill be honest here. rather than use it as a stepping stone id be keeping it and sorting the stripes and paint out. the descriptions all made that out to be a clean one and people were only put off by the stripes! are they vinyl or painted ?
however if its just a stepping stone you can give me the front bumper as no one like them anyway :lol:
the stripe are vinyl, there is some rust on the front wheel arch and some under the back window. some of the paint is coming off the roof but you can only notice this when up close. Thanks for all the welcomes!
Hi my exhaurts was blowing and needed fixing, from the back my exhaurst look good but when i looked under the car it was only an end bit bolted on to the backbox

So i got a stainless steel backbox off the bay (used for £20).

I got my GTi up on a ramp the other day and found out that the center pipe had rotten away just before the flange to the backbox, i looked around for a new center pipe but my mate the mehcanic said dont bother and that he will do his magic and sort it without the spare part!
So he got it up on the ramp and started his magic...
First was to cut of the rotten end of the center pipe
Then find an extra bit of pipe
First bit of welding
2nd bit of welding
And JOB DONE
I say he did his magic as it only cost me a create of beer! :lol:
The GTi feels much slicker and the backbox isnt too noisey, so i wont wake the neigbours when i get in late at night!
