New Arrival

braught myself a new car the other day braught it to my cusions garage today and started working on it, took the dash out and seats and carpet as the heater matrix has gone should have that sorted soon and then got a few other bits to sort out before it can come on to the road

oh its a MK2 Golf GTi 16v in black

coolio.

Nice one Yasser...get some piccys up

pictures should be up tonight, will make a thread later to with all the work that im doing on it

heres the pics, also i picked up a new heater matrix for the car should be fitting it tomorrow after college

when i went to see it (was my mates brothers)


when i picked it up on Sunday and braught it back to its new home


and stripped (dash out, seats and carpet out)


you must have also noticed the number plate is perfect for a future engine swap...

looks reallyy tidy

rust wise it aint that bad, got abit on the passenger rear arch but hes going to sort that for me and i need some skirts for it, interior needs a vax as its had water in there cause of the matrix, then a fan switch and a cv joint and speedo needs sorting revs work but mph doesnt, also the wheels are going dark grey and might get some lamin x for the front lights and some crystal fogs and maybe a few other bits and bobs

thanks chap

a little update, been toying with the idea of VR'ing it and one of my mates totaly smashed his VR up engines fine, needs a gearbox as a tree stump cracked the bell housing, hes got loads of history for the engine wants £350 for the whole car so i might take it and take the engine and VR the MK2 its a OBD1 lump, i wanted a OBD2 lump as its ment to be better and abit more poke but i think i might just go ahead with the OBD1 lump if i cant get hold of a OBD2 lump, just need to find someone to buy the KR lump first as i dont have room to keep everything.
