So, have bought this, a few of you might recognise it. Lovely low milage example with the same careful owner for the last 9 years! Who also happens to be on the forum. 
My phone camera seems to be getting worse, but you get the idea lol...
Quite a few plans for tidying up and cheap, subtle mods, won't be doing anything performancewise though.

Firstly changed the beam for the refurbed GTi one from the moonstone breaker. It was sitting on a Meridian beam and looked a little high lol.
Had to remove the spare wheel with a crowbar and cut the bolt out first....good job it hadn't been needed lol.

Then I ruined a brake line, as you probably saw in my other thread!

Also changed the stereo which was broken...and even more so when I went to remove the face, and the ribbon cable snapped....in the bin then! Got my JVC and stereo stalk adapter in instead.

Got it on PP2K and surprisingly only one fault code, something to do with a door lock (probably due to the broken drivers door loom).

Then yesterday/today set about changing the cambelt, water pump and tensioners which were due, and made a small fail as seen in the HDi section lol. Also changed aux sprung tensioner for a good one I had.

So this is how it stands tonight, no rear brakes, and no working engine currently....sorry Simon!
