Hi all.
I'm George 24 from Portsmouth. Technician for Volkswagen, built a few cars in my time. You may have seen the DC5 on YouTube a couple times.

I recently sold the DC5. Always fancied an EK9 and after looking at 3 very bad condition ones, this one came up for sale in Sheffield. Being a new import and having 1 previous owner It started to tick the boxes. I then took the trip up to view it and drove it home a couple hours later. The car then went away in storage for a couple months as I have an EK4 Track Car i need to shift. It also gave me a chance to change a couple things to my taste.
Here it is upon collection -

First thing I did was remove the spoiler brackets and bonnet raisers. Fitted some Rota Slips and Nankang NS2R tyres. The car had a custom catback already fitted but I didn't quite like it, it also droned a bit to so swapped that for a Fujibitsu catback and some power flex exhaust hangers.

Next we decided to take the interior out and give it a full wet vac. Made a massive difference to what I already considered a clean interior. While the seats were out I wasn't overly happy with the original seating position of the stock rails, so I got some DC2 rails at a bargain price. They made a big difference and I'm really happy with the seating position now.
