Hi everyone, starting our project thread so people can get to know the car and us.
Me and my dad bought this for a purpose built track car for a bit of fun.
Paid £550, 130k no service history, gloss black clones, lowered 40mm.
It was only down the road from us, engine was pulling well so we bought it. It's funny because it actually had less dents and dings before we started:

For some reason I didn't start taking pictures until we had stripped it all out, but anyway here we go:
First picture I have is of the cage we bought from someone on gti oc, think it was a safety devices one, with an extra harness bar welded in, powder coated in red:

Next, I accidentally smashed my back window on my daily by transporting engines
, but we took the one off the gti sprayed it, then fitted a fiberglass one to the gti:

After stripping it out and putting the fiberglass boot on, we were surprised how light it was, we was moving it around and seen this:

Next we tackled the brakes, a 310mm 4 pot brembo set popped up and we fitted them, along with direct fitment pro race 1.2's:

I then sorted the sound deadening behind the dash VERY FUN!

Will finish the rest off shortly...
