Looks a lot better now. Personally I didn't like it when you brought it dan. But you transformed amongst other things, the engine bay from all the mismatched coloured pipe work etc also some awesome upgrades to show it's full potential . Nice to put your own touch to it. Weldone.

I like to think i made it my own. I have changed a hell of alot of things, extracted more power too. I bought the car because of its potential and its nearly there as to how I visioned it..

This is one of the best looking bugs about and imo is a lot better looking than when you 1st bought it. The speedlines really set it off nicely! It also drives, stops and handles much better than when you picked it up. I think with the time, effort and money you have put into this to make it the car it is now, then you fully deserve the magazine feature. Keep up the good work!

It was a project to me,my final output was going to be roughly 480bhp with the next mods front Mount an other bits,so as for the comment that it drives brakes an everything else is better, it probably wouldnt of if i finished it,but I always wanted a classic after I seen a few members of the group I am in.so I put it up for sale.silly really as the turbo had literally covered 300 miles.but it allowed me to buy a type r she'll an do a complete project at scoobyclinic.dan has made it his own an looked after an improved it vastly an I respect him for that,I just don't see it as a project, to me a project is from start to finish

To me it is a project, i started it, done all the work myself (with mates) and nearly finished it. Imo a project is starting with a car, no matter what parts it has fitted and making it your own through your own hard graft and money. I need to feel im part if it not just chucking money at it if you know what i mean.
The comment i made about taking the glory was a sarcastic one, but then i think well no cos it never would have been featured as it was Imo. I seen the car for sale it had potential for what i wanted ( ecu, turbo) however the engine wasnt done by you either.
So with all that in mind its my car and i own it now regardless of who spent what on it previously it looks the way it does because of me (not saying it wouldnt look as good if you finished it) we all have different tastes, for instance the hawk rear lights came off straight away! Wheels as soon as i drove it for a while, then the safe power mods started fmic,perrin filter, rcm headers up pipe. Then the cosmetics to make it tge car it is now.. My car.

Who cares who's project it is.
Its Scooblets car now, he's paid for it and you sold it. Your comments have come across like sour grapes, instead of being happy that someone has improved and enjoying a car you sold!!
Cracking car Scooblet, keep up the good work and take all the glory you can mate, you deserve it!!!

When you change as many things to a car as Dan has it is a project imo. It's not like he has just fitted a front mount and then claimed the whole car is down to him. The car is totally different from when he bought it, regardless of whether it still has the same engine and turbo fitted. What was he meant to do, throw those bits away and start totally again?
