Welcome to the forum pal, and welcome to Team "Slow moving project"! Can't really go wrong for £450, doesnt look like too bad a base to start with, what are your plans?

yea plans are to stage 3 fmic etc.. and see what happens really
This is the work ive done so far changed the rear shocks as they were shot will try and get a picture of them never seen any soo bad lol also bought a straight through hoffman with sport tex backbox sounds nice not too loud too should have said that i got the car around 3 months ago just haven't got round to doing this so the new exhaust and shocks have been on for 1 month its now on 157k miles spoken to the old owner, he said its stage 1, never had clutch change! :o nor turbo lol but they aren't bad.
Just got back from cornwall/bude did 850miles in total on a fooked driveshaft lmao booked in to get fixed on wednesday also last saturday me and friend sprayed the front black looks nice also picking up some 205 speedlines next month in grey, suit it well
Here is some pics
Also the previous owner changed the passengers front wing but it doesnt line up at all my local garage said its the wrong one lol anyone got a moonstone ph3 front wing??

All moonstones are ph3, I can't see how the wing could possibly be wrong? It just needs a bit of adjustment, maybe the bonnet as well. Though your cheap angel eyes don't fit very well so that's not helping tbh.
Also, I know your pain coming from VW back to 306s!

Will have to let us know how you get on with the monroe shocks, i kind of dismissed them as cheap ebay crap when i was looking for replacements. What's your plans for tuning? I know you said stage 3, just wondering how you plan to get there?

I'm gonna be brutally honest, it's like a backwards progress thread. It gets worse each time. It looked better in the first pics.
Please don't hate me!
