I’m just doing a bit if research at the moment before making the announcement as well. Wanna make sure what I choose to do will go as smooth as possible and can be done really well but quick.

Sure do have some options. For now all I want to do is get her on the road and enjoy her. It’s been a process and a half to get to this point with all sorts of stuf going on.
But I’m making it...

The Mk5 motor I will need to modify the dash as the dash helps run the motor and make a fair few mods for the front suspension and brakes etc.
But it is doable. And the Mk5 motor is turbo charged...
That is what I was thinking. But then the question is what do I do?
1) 1.8L 8V
2) 2.0L 8V
3) 1.8T 20V
4) 2.0T(Mk5 GTi motor)
The possibilities are endless. Depends on how much I can afford...
It took a slight stand still. As I am fixing a small coolant hose issue, and I’m also replacing my heater core and fan to help with the cold weather in Canberra.
Hoping the next week and she’s...
I am very happy to announce, the old girl has gone in for a rego check today, and my gosh, SHE PASSED.
I was preparing for a few small things that need to be looked at and fixed ASAP before they...
Will do once I am comfortable with her doing such a trip.

I started an automotive apprenticeship, and hoping to be able to move the car to the shop I work at.
I have the bumper caps and the rear view mirror which is all I need for rego check to be signed...

Good afternoon all,
Life has been way to busy lately but hoping it’ll calm down in a few weeks. But I have had some time to do some work on the car. As last mentioned the service kits for the CV...
Would like to know what you’d want for the motors.

Been a little quite over the last few weeks. Work has been very busy but I have sourced locally some parts from a shop in Sydney called Tooley Imports.
Thanks to Richard and Paul for assisting me...
Any pictures of this vehicle?

As above mentioned, I had a clear list of things I wanted to achieve today, got around to 4 of them.
Fresh oil in gearbox and engine, then attempted to clean the engine bay but it has dirt and...
