Look like im working my way up the golf list (or the slow golf list) having owned a mk2,mk3 and now my first mk4  :smiley:

So after selling my tatty mk3 I went a step up to the Mk4 SE, few more electric gizmos etc..
Original plans for a TDi soon fell thru after realising I'd need far more money then I had, but could afford a decent MK4 providing its a 1.4 or 1.6.

Began looking for a mk4 at the end of June, after a few weeks of searching the internet I came accross what seemed a HUGE bargin at just over 1k with 12months MOT.





Now this seemed like a bargin but viewing showed the bodywork was abit battered in places (no supprise the location was down the bumpyest lane ever and over several farms)

Badly scratched door and rear wing

Both rear archs are scuffed and dented, not really really bad but still offputting

And scuffed bumper



First port of call was removing those dreadful Lexus lights
This was delayed after having a few issues burning oil, in the end a few jobs were done to the engine.

-Dechoke
-Piston rings replaced
-Head remachined
-New headgasket
-New valve stems
-Good service oil airfilter etc

Running much nicer now  :smiley:

Soon as returned from the garage those lights HAD to go-





Future plans-
So plan summary-

Repair paintwork/bodywork
Machine polish/detailing (hopefully remove some of door damage)
Small aerial
Tint rear windows
Beetle gti gearknob
Debadge (jst golf badge)
Spray rear badge
Pressed plates (dubmeister)
Rs4 wheels?
Wipers
Upgrade central locking to Remote (Toad RK30)
Slam
Upgrade from OEM stero (volume button slims so when turning up it also goes down sometimes)
Upgrade speakers (possibly small sub)
Spray interiout trim,handles,ashtray etc (there very badly marked)



More to be added soon.....
