Default let me indroduce myself 8-D

hi all,

not sure if I'm psoting to the correct section (would be a bad start wouldn't it?)
so I'm Slavo, I'm 30 and I own an mk4 cab 102hp, which I am planning to restore to its former glory (it's still in a good shape enough).
I am French, I leave in Luxembourg and prior to that I spent 6.5 years in Dublin!
You can view pics of my car by clicking on the following link:

hope you'll like it!
it has 150k kms (ok, I'm the fourth owner), semi leather seats, electric windows but manual roof, 14in rims (15 to come)

My plans are to respray it this winter, and restore the engine.
Not a lot of mods: rst bodykit, manifold, exhaust. by the way, do you know the differences between MFI and EFI systems. I already own an Ashley Comp 421 manifold but am unsure on the system to choose.

Do you guys could suggest nice brand exhaust (sound and quality wise)?

Last thing, any questions, let me know!!

btw, I have to say (dont tell anyone) that you brits are very well respected in France cos you own loads of "old" fords and that you actually have loads of businesses for spares etc..
down here, there are too many of spiritless cars.
there are cossies and xrs of course but in the UK, phew, that's a different story!
well done!

i remember the efi front pipe had twin pipes from the manifold to box, instead of the 2-1 on a mfi
