my attempt at trying to make the sport puka  .
Ill add the after pics when ive finished doing whatever needs doing but this is what im starting with. not sure how to put pictures on so might turn out wrong.
main things are: suspension, wheels and tidying engine bay and rust spots, and paint and put the bad boy bonnet on.
But in the near future hopefully change the inlet manifold. And im debating whether to swap my mk3 golf for a couple of parts incl. throttle bodys a decent toad alarm and big v6 calipers and disks.
Hopefully what the bonnet will look like on the car (im not the best on photoshop but better than nothing)

only performance mods im thinking of doing at the moment are inlet manifold which will hopefully add about 20bhp and havn't really thought about anything else.
you have any cheap suggestions on what i could do to it to make it quicker?

isnt easy to spray or take pics in the dark. and was also raining and lens got wet. there arent any marks or wierd colours on the wheels so guessing its just the camera's fault

Finally finished wheels and wrapped them in yokohoma s drives putting them on car later. i got kind of impatient by the 3rd one so it isnt as good but is the same colour so its alright in my eyes.
also bought an inlet manifold and hydraulic tappets and a couple of other bits which ill hopefully put on shortly

You got a new backbox on yet? If not, I can recommend Longlife in Fforestfach - they did my cat back system 3 years ago now, and it still looks very good! They also gave me loads of clearance over the rear beam, just like I asked for
