    Gone halves on it with a mate as a winter project.

    its a 1.4 16v twin cam gti!











    And the price £230. 2 owners from new,83k on the clock.


    Plans are,

    strip out interior,carpets etc,remove 1.4 16v and replace with a 1.8 16v vvc.


    P.s,greg(minifreak)If u wanna sell ur tro,me and kev will have it.

    cool toy you'll love it
    don't forget the rear belts they are well heavy
    i'd keep the spare mind as the back tends to get a bit light under braking with it out !

    My mate has a 1.8vvc metro with throttle bodies and standalone managment.

    So this is sortof a new project.Its pretty quick standard,but once stripped and weve fitted a str8 thru exhaust and filter,were hoping for 110bhp,which in a car that weighsabout 700kg,will be pretty fun : )
