So for those who don't have me on Facebook I got myself a motherfucking rallye today! Its Mitch's old car. It needs some work (brakes, wishbones, lambda, top mount welding and some other shit) but shes gonna come off the road for a restoration.
[attachment=14929]
I think I'm gonna have the engine out and strip then paint the bay to keep the rust at bay and then under seal the car thoroughly. Also gonna do stuff like a cam belt as its 4 years since shes had one. Hopefully put her back nearer to standard but with a slight engine rebuild and some mild cams.
On a side note It looks like I've got myself somewhere near 40mpg on the way home which is probably the best it'll ever do in my ownership. The exhaust is uber loud (like louder than my old 6 and that was stupid loud) and my ears are still ringing slightly even though I wore decent ear plugs all the way home.
Well done mate
Still think this a april fools
Peter t cams are a good shout.no need for pp's and remap
Dangerously close to that lamppost Chris!
Looks nice though.
Awesome dood
Bwaaaaarps!
If the estate ends up for sale I could be interested
nice car just be carefully of solid non moveable objects like lamppost concrete post etc
Cat cams, chip wizards remap, job done.
Don't fit cams without a map, they run so lean!!
Nice car, don't f*ck it up!

In all fairness, Dum probably doesn't realise its the 2nd!
I swear I recall dumdum being the guy saying a rallye was just a pov spec 6'
it is a pov spec 6.
f*cking hate wind up windows as there isnt space between the steering wheel and the door for me to get my arm and leg in there so i have to stop to adjust the window.
Also this isnt a joke or an april fools. its sitting on my drive and mitch has a wad of used £50s
Cant imagine it was a thick wad of 50s with all that needs doing!
I have some window regs here for sale btw.

You'll be fine, sure you've got a decent right arm. It's arms day 3 times a day isn't it :-)
You can't put lecky windows in a rallye !
man the f*ck up
ok dum dum, whats going to happen to the estate? you doing a procta, having the best of both worlds? that's having two cars you like!
Haha fair play dude, will have to come round and poke it.
Cheers guys, the estate is staying too. There is no way I can afford to run the rallye daily so it's gonna be a second car, hoping I can get insurance for somewhere near what JP is paying for his GTi6. She most likely won't see the road at least until I can tax her monthly or maybe till April next year when my points come off my licence.
Defo best of both worlds with the cheap practical estate as a daily and the rare bwaps for bwaping
I'm seeing a trend here of estate and rallye owners ;-) haha
Love it mate.
Look after this one!!!!!
That is just beautiful! Please be careful reversing mate...
Surly with this one been onyx he should in theory be fine, unless he's reversed non bianca cars into posts that I don't know of

No I think we maybe good, his Black hdi was epic! But did end up being broken for part's iirc.
sersly thought this was a wind up on FB, nice one though chris!
First mod parking sensors?
Looks tidy any more pictures?
Get onto flux mate, my GTi6 costs me 180 a year to insure - and that's with mods and 220hp, plus 3 points.
If you can get it for that, stick some tax on it and just enjoy it!
