WIP Project Rallye

I've always been a fan of the MK2 Golf Rallye. With its flared steel arches and its 1.8 G60 engine, in my eyes is one of the better VW produeced to date. With 5000 produced, including the 70 official UK cars. There have been many imported to UK, but significant numbers are exported back to Germany. Seems us brits have the best examples.
Enough blabbering on about the real car.

Some of my reference photos

One of my favourite Rallyes, driven by Janet Wardson who runs one of the VW owners clubs, Club GTI i think. I had the pleasure of seeing the car 1st on a recent trip to PSI Tuning (Local VAG specialists). Jan was more than happy to show me and my dad around the car. At the time she was just having her new dash fitted. The car was a 1.8 G60, but the Andy at PSI had fitted a 1.8 turbo from an Audi S3, runnig 250BHP at teh time.
