KP's 1989 AE92 GTi-16 - spud1973 - 26-05-2019
Just read all this and all I can say is wow. At 16 I was flying around on a old scooter transformed into the ultimate field bike:lol:
I take my hat off to you for the work you have done and I am truly impressed.

^^ to true, ive always driven cars since i was about 10 as I used to live on a farm,...but didnt do anything like this at 16,...or even now aha
Vix is correct, the younger you get into it the more respect you have for your car/license/others
saying that i have huge respect but have still written off 3 cars,....never claimed though, fortunately they were all rotters
ive bashed the lexus twice but paid out my own pocket lol

Thanks a lot guys!
Written off 3 cars!? Have you managed to stay in one piece? 
It's great to hear all of these comments as it really does spur me on with such a project... of course it still isn't finished though.
I have a list:
*Fit Sunroof Lining
*Source, buy and fit lower fascia footwell trims
*Source, buy and fit C-Pillar Interior Trims
*Paint Back Box Black - It's got white over spray on it
*Repaint interior lights and RVM - again... over spray
*Get the engine to work without blowing up in my face.
Other than that I'm pretty well there... although I can't see where I'll stop with it... maybe a V8 1UZ-FTTE will give me some distraction..

You'll need a parachute with that lol.. and I wonder how many insurance companies will retire to the bahamas on your first insurance premium

:lol: lmao! Yeh I have been quoted £79000 with just the 4A-GE so I thought "why the hell not" so I've been planning the V8 TT conversion for a number of months.
My particular struggle is finding a set of Turbos that like to work together, I am new to them and I need some decent advice about which manufacturer and model to go with. I will be using an Audi Rear Axle and Diff hooked in with a R series box. I would like a Supra R154 but they are pricey.
Plus I wont be hacking apart my GTi to do it, I'll use my dads when he decides to get rid of it.

Well done matey, you've gave it a new lease of life, a fine example.
I had a 1.3 when i passed my test and i loved it, Great little cars.
KP's 1989 AE92 GTi-16 - KPARRIS-JONES - 28-05-2019
Cheers mate
Yeh it's certainly going to be around for a lifetime... The 1.3's were awesome little cars, so easy to repair as well - Carburettor FTW!! KP
