You may remember my better half currently owns a GSi, however when cylinder three decided to shoot a spark plug out and strip the thread, it has stayed doormont begging for attention....

Well finally managed to pull my finger out of my rear and get it booked into V-Tuning for the new year to complete the work.

Whilst its there its having a new gear linkage and clutch and tidying of the engine bay to factory standard.

V-tuning have been fantastic to me in the past so im confident the car will come back as good as new.

Anal things like new badges, wiper arms, side repeaters to turn it back to stock have already been completed, just this final thing (The engine!!!) to do.

I know its not a "classic" but you just dont see decent standard examples any more, which is quite refreshing.......

ooooh, i ve got my gsi booked in to V-tuning for the begining of next year aswell!
Nice to see a standard gsi being kept that way. One day it may well raise in value! (Could be a while yet!)

There is a white minter GSi that drives around Biggleswade, with original stickers etc, N-reg I believe - just a shame a woman drives it and never looks after it. Always dirty etc - would love to sort it out though (the car not the driver!)
