By broke I don't mean for parts! It's just being stored right now until I can get my finger out!

I'll post an update without pictures, because for some reason it crashes every time I try to upload with them! This will have to do for now... I'm a simple soul and cannot stand build threads without pretty pictures but beggars cannot be choosers.
August last year I finally fitted my absolute bargain of an RCD510 DAB (90 inc delivery!) and the climatronic unit that my boyfriend had bought me for Christmas 2016.. Looks so much better. I never bothered to buy a new aerial etc because the new unit is DAB so I've just left it disconnected and it's still like that today... Couldn't be bothered taking the headlining out just to listen to Grimmy on a weekday morning.
Mid August we drove to the BTCC in my car and had a bit of a play with a brand new S3 (was neck on neck, which is nice as my car was mapped with a laptop at the side of the road) on a private road, duh. Fun was over when my R32 diffuser decided it would rather take a nap on the grass verge to the side of the road. Enjoyed the BTCC and managed to pick it back up 8 hours later when we were heading home. Adam prepped and painted this using Halfords finest materials and it looks wonderful in gloss black!
Round about the same time we split the new wheels, then polished them up again using halfords finest materials. Fitted the tyres, then fitted the wheels. The fronts DID NOT fit at all... Had to space the fronts 25mm to clear my calipers. Juicy.
Fast forward to October - I hit a small pothole and bent a front wheel. Think the man in the wheel repair shop fancied me because he repaired it for free.
Again, fast forward to November... An ambulance was behind me and the car beside me wouldn't move so I had to mount a kerb, pulling my front bumper off in the process. The driver in my work took the car down to a bodyshop and they collected me later on to pick it up when it was fixed... Free. Lucky me.
November again, broke both front wheels.. Was running a space saver and 1 pescara.. Then my front badge came off in the clyde tunnel and my leak still hasn't been fixed.. I think it was this point I got fed up with the car.
Started looking for a runaround in early December and picked up my diesel VW Beetle in January.. £550. Fitted a turbo and I now have a super reliable daily!
March the cars were swapped over and I insured the beetle, golf was put to bed then.
May - got two front wings and a bonnet, then purchased a gloss black front badge as well as a new oil filter for when I can be bothered fixing the thing.
June - Removed the battery because it'll be dud now anyway.
That's it.. Hopefully progress will be made before August-ish but maybe not knowing me

So this is the state this car has gotten into after being left sat since March... Oops.

So I've now purchased this as a run around while the golf lies broken, little 1.9tdi bad days when the daily is cleaner than your decent car...

Apologies for writing 3 comments in a row, I'm doing this off my phone so I can no longer update it how I used to with a caption above each photo so here's the little progress I made on the golf 2 weeks back, fed up of mould!
