Staggy's GSi WIP!!
hey all i thought i might as well jump on the bandwagon and start my own thread! pics should be up tonight or in a day or two....
i bought a silver k reg gsi in about june last year over ebay, off the infamous Majika GSi - what a mistake that was! picked it up in the dark and it looked mint but the next day i wasnt so pleased! n/s rear quarter had been sprayed with a fizzy tin, dodgy alarm (siren removed as the alarm goes off all the time!) dodgy welding etc. ran it for a couple of months then the bolts for the o/s engine mount sheared in the block, so i took her off the road.
so far i have removed the engine, fitted new rings, big end bearings, all oil seals have been replaced, lapped the valves in again as the exhaust valves had not even been done and they were passing gas even when shut!
so thats the engine. on removing the battery i discovered a hole so that is one of my next jobs. i have a new upper front panel to fit, a new n/s/r arch panel on its way as it has rotted away to nothing under the fin of the skirt. the sills are split mint, i couldnt believe how clean they were so im pleased about that!
n/s/f chassis leg has cracked and around the n/s strut top has been bodged aswell.
anyway these threads are boring without pics so i'll get em up asap for you!!

This is the one from the for sale thread here... I saw it on Autotrader and was going to go and look at it and probably fall in to the same trap. :eek: The person said it was sold when I rang again to check it was still okay to go view it.
Bad luck on getting caught out but looks like making it decent again :thumb:
