Son of Stevo - The New GTi

[Corbalicious]

Basically a kit of parts. I've still got to pay for and collect a few of them, but here's the lowdown.

The ingredients:

One stripped out, near-mint condition Phase 1 GTi. Water damage means the electrics are fried. Also it is minus engine and a few other bits.

One trusty, but rusty and battered GTi donor car 'Stevo'.

Stevo will be donating loom and ancilliaries as well as brakes, hubs and any other spares I need, as well as the interior itself.

Throughout the rebuild I'm hoping to put more rust-proofing and sound deadening in so I will have a comfortable and near-enough-to-mint GTi for years to come.

The first priority will be to get it home, followed by stripping the old GTi and replacing the loom/engine to get the basics running. Going to be tough but I hope it will be worth it. Gotta be worth at least £20 in scrap if not :lol:

I thought that it was rusty or something was seriosuly wrong, hence why your using this. If not, i'm interested....
