Dave's silky GSi rebuild.

[*Dave*]

hey people, as some of you may know iv been busy building my engine lately..... but i also decided i wasnt happy with the condition of the rest of the car.

the plans for the car is to completely restore the underneath of the car replacing what i can as i go such as bushes, bolts, brake/fuel pipes and any tin worm etc. painting the underside with schutz or stonechip, high build primer, silk violet paint then lots of laquer!!a big thanks in advance to chrisnovaturbo for his help so far and in the future.

build the x16xe engine to a high spec for fast road use with the ocasional track day here and there but to be kind of practical at the same time
so here is a few pics of whats goin on.

the car in november 09 lookin like this.
