Bought this one by complete chance, after selling my mk4 golf runaround and using a 1.8 civic v-tec thing other as a runaround for a few weeks I put a deposit on a 1.8t bora, real tidy but the seller F'ed me about a lot, I got my deposit back and search for something else.
A Friend linked me to this on ebay locally, I viewed it and collected it that same night for a cheap price, it had a MOT failure sheet totting up to £500 (from the mot station) and ran out of tax, the seller was quite clueless in general so I feel that because of that it helped me strike a bargain.
I got it ready for the mot it cost me £32 for the parts, £35 for the mot and a extra £10 for my mate to pass the emissons on the ruined cat converter he then de-catted it for me.
I Then taxed it the next day and I treated her too a full service by myself inbetween getting her on the road.
Its only a little 2.0, I just put it over 100k, and theres FSH from vw.
I wasn't going to leave it standard, being a vw addict I had a set of coilovers ready to fit, a set of a3 cloth recaros, plus a set of 18" wheels that I just had refurbed and powder coated in flat silver for free.
I treated the car to a full semi big detail by myself, that involed claying, machining and glazing the paintwork, and last month I carried out a big detail this time involving scratch and swirl removing componds then flattening the paint work over, it took a lot of work but the results speak for thereselfs, ill let the pictures do the talking, from first days to most recent at VAG day castle coombe last month.
Ive owned this car nearly 5 months now, and I love it haha!

At there she is, im usually doing bits and bobs to it but at the moment im chilling with it a bit and concentrating on the vitara for a while, but no doubt ill be fiddling with her in between!
For what its worth anyone in or near Bristol who want there car detailed give me a shout, I could do with some extra cash! Sorry No off roaders haha!
