Not been on here for a while. Been driving my mk5 now for a few years now.

Think its time for an engine upgrade and a revamp of the exterior. Remove the rust underneath and get her back to her glory days.

Thanks for the replies. I will be taking a look at that site today thanks for the link.

 

Rust has eaten through the chassis legs at the rear so I will be replacing boot floor and looking to make a independent suspension setup. Think I need an outer sill too. But she'll be ready for summer 2015. Looking to change the wheel too to cossie ones or something concaved.

Revive of and old post.

 

Update: car has been off road on my parents drive rotting away for a few years now. In the last 2 years a baby has came along and the pride and joy got pushed to one side as funds were low. But things are on the up.

 

So I've set a date to get married and the xr is going to be the wedding car. I have until end of Feb 2017 to sort out any chassis rust underneath.

 

I have just purchased a cossie arch kit but I'm going to widen the standard bumpers to match. Also collect a set of 18" escort cosworth replica wheels next Saturday. Hopefully thro project should be completed in time.
