Are you going to keep it looking standard, would make a good sleeper project?

I was kind of thinking the same bud.problem with the MK4s are if you modify them properly they can look good but there are some horrible. Examples out there being 37 don't want to chav it up want to keep it almost standard on the outside want the anniversary splitter front and rear but that's about it.am currently looking at some Porsche front brakes

Good on you.
Those are classy Recaro’s.
Look really comfortable and bracing without being buckets.
Loving the direction you are going with this.

Looks very clean

I had a black one years ago. I remember it feeling really solid and well made , especially the interior.

The mk5 gti I had felt really cheap inside compared to the mk4

People used to slate the these handeling wise however I fitted some coilovers and it wasn’t to bad at all

Not especially no.
Just into modding, mainly Japanese cars but I appreciate all.
My brother had a Mk1 campaign back in the day.

So true.
If we could only see the future then there are many that would not have slipped through our fingers.

My dad in the 80s had a MK2 fiesta xr2i which he sold in 95 for a grand total of 150 pounds gutted
