My single biggest motoring regret was to sell my '89 Graphite 1.9 GTi. I bought the car as completely clean and standard for £2500 in July 98, by the end of the year it had been up to Morecombe to have a stay over at LADs workshop where it had the complete refresh package.
That consisted of new springs/struts, torsion bar adjust, poly bushed, new grooved and vented discs c/w fast road pads, complete strip down and rebuild of engine with head work and a fast road cam, and also a group N exhaut and air filter, oh and a fast road clutch kit too.
That little lot cost £2500 and gave me essentially a new car with more power, as it was up to 160bhp. Fun Fun Fun Fun Fun.
Ended up wanting more though and px'd it in for £2500 in the September to get my first Pulsar GTiR. I dont regret getting the Nissan, but I do regret selling the Pug.
I might be selling my Passat TDi soon though, and I do keep thinking about doing all this again.

I have one which i taken off the road over winter to do a basic rebuild.
Atm its a 1.6 GTI with a MI16 lump with omex ecu & cams running at nearly 180bhp. Its getting some 306 GTI-6 brakes, 309 gti rear beam with stiffer torsion bars and ARB.
I got all the parts just need to put them on, then its throttle body time

Yeah the guy who bought it wanted to turn it into a Rally car. I paid £800 for the car and sold it for something like £740 on Ebay to him. A week later he was back wanting to buy a pair of front seats I'd picked up but never fitted.
Good engine in H219SWU, went like a rocket, bags of torque for an 8v.
