Hey guys,

My name is Zale and im 20, im a furniture maker down here in wagga but im really keen on my cars too.
I have a 1994 VR6 that i love and do a fair bit of work on whenever i can but im really looking forward to my new project as i have picked up a mk1 GLD on saturday, its silver and it has a bit of rust going on so i have to treat it and deal with it pretty soon as i want to get it registered at some point in the near future as a daily.

At the moment the state of the car is not great but i havent gotten around to getting it completely cleaned up.

Went up to sydney from wagga on friday night with my VR6 on the car trailer ready for some work and getting a whole bunch of stuff fixed up, left wagga at 7pm and got to sydney about 1am.
Saturday morning started off with an early rise at 6am so we could get up make the 1 hour trip to camden gti and be there by 830 giving us enough time to get breakfast at a bakery (fresh crousants.... The bomb!) get lost and still be on time.
Unloaded the VR and got to check out matts scirocco which is super cool.
After this we headed out to the oaks to pick up the mk1, When we got out there and saw it i was a tad dissapointed about the rust that wasnt mentioned but too excited to care, Loaded the mk1 onto the trailer loaded the parts and then headed back to wagga which was a much nicer and easier trip as the mk1 weighs a whole lot less than the VR.
Got home and unloaded the mk1 drove it round the block and then parked it up in the back yard ready for the start of the project.

Initial plans for this are;

Chop the springs for a month or so because i cant deal with it being so high
Coilovers very soon just doing some research into the best deal with full height adjustable and dampening adjustable
Treat all the rust by cutting it out and replacing it with good solid metal, if its only small i will just spray it with some rust converter as this car is going to be my place of learning for a more serious build that i want to do with a 3dr.
Keep the car pretty ratty
Will be making a big order so i can do a full service and get it running smoothly once again
Have some 15x6.5s that i will put on as soon as its low and i have bought some tyres and 30mm spacers for the rear
Down the track i will most likely respray this myself just for the experience and to do something different but for now it will be treat rust and spray it up with patches everywhere just cause.

Anyway ill get some Photos up of day 1 and day 2 tomorrow

Keep posted as hopefully ill get this moving relatively quickly once i get my VR back from matt and pay it off

Project Time...
