Shaun's GT TDI

[Moojii]

Well the new owner came and collected the golf earlier.. held back the tears as I saw it drive off 

You were a brave lad mate.

I'll look after it.

It's absolutely awesome. Well chuffed.

I don't know where to start with such a sorted car.

Wow!! Why did I sell this?? 

Just read through the whole build with a tear in my eye.

They Audi has now gone, had it bang on a year.. it was lovely and so powerful (had it Revo'd) but now back in the Golf game.

After a mint GT TDI with DSG. They are holding there money very well and amazed how many for sale with near to 200k which is a credit to the engine 

Or a nice mk6 GTD as I know I won't spend as much on it

Good that you're coming back to a Golf @shaunnorris7

What about a Mk5 TDI 4motion? Only ever seen one with DSG, but worth keeping an eye out. :)

Cheers Stu,

Yes I was trying to find one but a later (07/08) model seems pretty hard to find.

Finally signed up to Imgur so can host come more photos. Will sort some pics out of the Golf but in the meantime here is a pic of the Vento VR6 I've recently purchased 

[ChrisGT]

Do love a sorted vento, looks good.

Hi Chris.. it was from a breakers local to me. They had a mint GTI which had some front end damage. Most goodies were gone else I would have had more but was happy with the headlining complete with all fittings and mirror for £120 

[shaunnorris7]

The Vento had a sports cat and rear system fitted yesterday at EMP Performance so sounds much better..

Here's the Golf prior AKS...
