right im back as all can see with another non mk3, a lovely (bit plain) classic 84 golf, i bought the car from my friend who won it on ebay for the pricey sum of £200, now as mk2 golf go thats a bloody bargain even if it is a grandad auto, yes its a bit on the slow side because its a 1.6 8v but it does have the added bonus of a factory fit webber carb, anyway me and my m8 went on the train from ipswich to sheerness in kent to go and collect it and when we got there i was pretty amazed as every panel was straight, lowered 40mm already and aftermarket rear lights (booo @ crystal lights), had a quick look over and was pleased to say it was pretty rot free, plenty of paperwork for suff done like sills, wings, services etc etc, and so the deal was done after tellin my friend to rip the guys arm off for the price.
anyway here is a few pics from the ebay add before we got it
so i drove it back to ipswich on £15 of petrol, not bad for just over 100 miles i think and it drove a dream
to cut the story short i was offered to buy it for the price my mate paid for it as he couldnt get a good quote for insurance lol, plonker, who buys a car they cant insure haha, anyway more pics.
i got bored one day and found a can of green glass spray paint
had them like that for a month or so and then someone i know bought a mk2 and gave me an offer i couldnt refuse, a set of teardrop alloys and half smoked M3 style rear lights, all he wanted from me was my 13" steelies for banding and my crazy green rear lights, so i popped up to see him and the swap was done
car went in for MOT the day after and passed with 1 advisory (blowing exhaust) not bad for a 27yr old car me thinks.
plans so far
1, clean up all rust spots, dents ect and probably respray
2, full 4 door gti big bumper kit (arches, skirts, everything)
3, redo all the interior (full black trim, leather seats or reclining buckets for front and retrimmed rears)
4, coilovers
5, full late spec wiring ready for engine upgrade (if its possible to swap over to a late spec)
6, custom grille with slats the whole length
7, engine swap (been given the option to gut everything i need from which ever is best donar by local scrappy) and rebuild before swap
8, chrome detail as much as i can (door lock/catches, wing mirror knobs, door pins)
9, paint engine bay bits ( rocker cover, water bottle, expansion tank ect)
10, sort out my shabby stereo wiring (never had iso plug till i got the car lol) and install to get rid of my pathetic pro-plus box for something better for my 15" sub
11, polybush everything, strut braces all round (upper and lower)
and this is what i want the car to look like (obviously with the teardrop alloys lol)
so, what do you all think
