Cheers chap!
Well, i scrapped my 1989 Mk2 Vauxhall Astra GTE Estate, complete with SR Engine, gearbox, GTE bodykit, lowered, etc because of the rust! Gutted....Spent loads on that car and i loved it! Was like a fookin rocket!
So....i was toying with idea of another Vauxhall, until my cousin bought a H-plate 90 Golf GTI 8v.
I loved that car but couldnt afford insurance so i got next best thing....A 1.6 'Driver'!!!
Bought it off an old bloke who owned a newsagent down my cousins road, he didnt want it because steering was too heavy and boot wasnt big enough to fit stuff in (he wanted a Passat Estate). The Golf looked a minter apart from 188,000 miles on the clock on a J-plate 91 and small dent in rear boot lid.
The milage didnt matter cause i had plans to fit GTI or similar engine to it when it finally blew up...unfortunately its now done 211,000 and still going strong!
Anyway, i parted with £500 and that same morning bought a set of Team Dynamics 14" Alloys from a friend with brand new tyres for £100. They went on in the afternoon as did the tinted rear lights that i sprayed with dark tint spray!
