Well.. I think it's about time I create a thread!
A quick intro: I bought my baby in August after bartering with the previous owner about the price for over 2 weeks!
![evilgrin :evilgrin:](https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/Smileys/newsmileys/evilgrin.gif)
She's a Tornado Red beaut and only had 26,000 on the clock. This was backed up with all old MOT's aswell!
She had a few faults on her, hence me being stubborn over the price I was willing to pay. This was because of my lack of VW knowledge (and background) but with the help of this forum, I've managed to knock a few faults away!
When I bought her, she looked like this:

Straight away, I wanted to get rid of the alloys for some standard monzas (for now..)

As I started to look around the car, I realised I got a bit of a billy bargain with all the parts that have been fitted to the car. The previous owner wasn't a very big car person, as he didn't know what suspension was fitted.. or what exhaust system it has. I knew it had decent parts fitted due to the massive Porsche calipers under the rims but i didn't know how decent everything else was..
Turns out she's got KW Variant 3 Coilovers, and a full milltek turbo-back system too
Also, she's famous on Milltek's site. It's a shame I can't find much information on the car, I'd love to know more of it's history.
Now I want to see what other goodies she may have fitted that he (and myself) didn't know about!
Anyway - A few more shots from a quick wash last week.

You might notice my dads project behind my car in one of the pictures.. A vintage Ford Zephyr, it' only been on my drive for 25years!
Hope you life the (brief) insite into the car
