Been a long year since buying the 205 gti lemon.
Paid too much for a massive list of mechanical and cosmetic problems.
It's not finished, but I now have it registered.
Aside from having tried to restore the car on 1st and 2nd year apprentice wages and working a 2nd job just to afford to buy parts,
I have successfully saved a GTI from the scrap heap.
HUGE shout out to Pugwreck for all their help with parts and knowledge.
The list continues to:
- rear seats out
- battery to boot
- dkz head with work on dfz bottom end
- weber 45 setup
- full engine bay clean up
- quick shift kit
- maybe build a new dash (depends on motivation)
Also would like to thank this forum.
Amazing stuff.
Thanks guys.
