Posted April 19, 201014 yr Well i'm back again with another little project and story lol, Basically last week phone rings and my mate said i've been doin some work for an old woman and she's got an escort in the garage thats been there since she stopped driving in 2006 anyway he asked about it and she said he could have it cos she was sick of seeing it. This is where i come in as my mate scraps cars and said it was too good to scrap so offered it to me so i part chopped my white si and a bit of cash so he'd still got a car to scrap. Anyway its a mk5!! 1.3 popular and its the most solid mk5 i've seen for about 10 years lol anyway its all mot'd and taxed now and the stripes and mouldings have been removed and since these pics i've also attacked it with the buffer Also kept the wheels off the si and put them on as soon as i picked it up, As for my plans i've no idea yet apart from i want a 5 speed box lol and i need to touch up the offside rear arch and the corners of the boot under the screen, Petrol cap is mint though Oh i've had the number plate valued at £800 too so i cant grumble, Its the original plate too! I've also come to realise my camera must be fucked so in future i'll use my phone to take pics as its got an 8.1 hd camera, Enough blabbering anyway here's a few pics for now http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w314/GRANT-XR/Rattlebox005.jpg http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w314/GRANT-XR/Rattlebox004.jpg http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w314/GRANT-XR/Rattlebox003.jpg http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w314/GRANT-XR/Rattlebox002.jpg http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w314/GRANT-XR/Rattlebox001.jpg Let me know what you think

April 19, 201014 yr Sure its not a faded radient red? Its pink enough. I will look forward to seeing the next set of pics, it appears to be tidy though
April 19, 201014 yr why do you plans not include fitting an actual engine the hcs is w@nk 4 speed boxes ftw though

I can get better MPG from my 1.8... It is cheap on insurance, though!
April 19, 201014 yr the 1.6 should be the most economical petrol engine, but in real life its the 1.8 driven sensibly

This ran out of fuel when i fetched it and i put a fiver in and did 38 miles with no signs of running out before i put anymore in i can only just get 50 to a tenner in the gti Just uploading pics now
April 19, 201014 yr you need to work your mpg out correctly, your gti should be doing the mid 30s if its not fucked or being ragged
April 19, 201014 yr Author Well here's the new pics from my phone hopefully you'll find these better lol http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w314/GRANT-XR/19042010031.jpg http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w314/GRANT-XR/19042010030.jpg http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w314/GRANT-XR/19042010028.jpg http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w314/GRANT-XR/19042010027.jpg http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w314/GRANT-XR/19042010026.jpg http://i179.photobucket.com/albums/w314/GRANT-XR/19042010032.jpg cheers, Grant you need to work your mpg out correctly, your gti should be doing the mid 30s if its not fucked or being ragged It will do a out 30 mpg at best although on a run its really good if ya keep ya foot off the floor lol its had a good 20k of abuse though in my ownership but always well serviced etc
April 19, 201014 yr looks lovely, wheels don't suit it in black but thats a nice mk5 shell, shame the trim and the engine are wank though if you ever fancy selling it to be molested give me a nudge
