Mk5_edition 30, the little brother
« on: July 11, 2014, 11:23:15 pm »
Well this is my second thread on here now, some of you may know my other car 'from scene queen to mean' well I got bored waiting to get it finished so I recently brought myself an edition 30 that was damaged. It wasn't well looked after at all but it was cheap and I had all the parts to repair which made it viable.

It's an 07 with an ok spec but not massively tricked up compared to some but I plan to retro fit a few nice mods as well as some power, audio and a good stance.

Here's some pics of the damage and condition I received it in









It hadn't had a hard knock at all but After having a good look over it what I thought was a wing, rad pack, bumper, lights and a bit of paint to a pair of door skins, slam panel, full respray.

Here's some pics of the work in progress











While working on it I realised a top mount had gone as well as a snapped spring so I installed so H&r ultralows





Here's some interior shots, it needed som major attention as it was covered in mould and generally hanging





The wheels weren't the best either so I had them refurbed and and new Michelin pilot sport 3's

Just collected from the wheel specialist



Here's some pics I managed to get In the body shop.







I'll post some pics tomorrow after I clean it in preparation for dubfiction on Sunday.

Thanks Craig.

Brought this this week


But it's no where near deep enough for my jl audio w6 so I ended up installing 3 18mm speaker rings and an extra 18mm face



I weren't happy with the step on the rings so I sanded the edges to 45 degrees and fibre glassed around the ring so skim with filler to give It a cleaner flowing look



I'm hoping to install most of my audio this weekend so I'll update as progress is made.

So this is the ED30... Didn't realise when you said it needed a bit of work you meant this. But considering the work done to you other GTI, can see why this is a minor project.

Moving over to Flickr, sorry for the broken picture links!

Looks like great progress there.

Rust and mould?  I wonder what sort of life it has had!!

Good luck with it - good to see it being brought back.  :happy2:
