I have got another project on the go now, even though this is the first project thread i have made I purchased this car at the weekend i give £250 for it and the shell is mint for its ages in all fairness so its a good plain standard base to work from I recently wrote off my ladys 106 GTI, which didnt go down to well but all is not lost as im now using that as a donar car, engine, back axle and a few other bits which used to look like Im hoping to put the 16v into the s1 and make it into a track car/van

Get some decent new engine mounts while your at it, group n ones, group a if your a real man. They are actually quite useful, because if a screw is loose it will rattle it out lol.
