Thanks JV
Just to get this out the way,
THIS CAR IS A BUDGET PROJECT!! Right, well I've already got a thread over at
http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=73104.0 so if you wanna comment at all, there would be a good place... however, no updates will be made there anymore, they will be done here
Ok, so..let's start from the beginning..
I bought my 1990 Mk2 8v GTI in around March/April 2007, intending to be a project car / part-time replacement for my 1.1 saxo. Wasn't actually looking for a Golf at the time, infact, not even a VW, but just something under £1000 that would be good to learn a bit about cars with while still having a fun car to drive. On one weekend, I spotted my 8v in the back of a dealers yard for £750 and put a deposit on it the same day
Here are some pics of it a few weeks ago, basically in the same condition as when I got it. Due to a lack of funds and motivation I didn't really use it as a project car, but that's changing now
And here are a few extras that the car was already fitted with:
Powerflow exhaust
Corrado fronts (thanks ...joe)
Sony Xplod CDX-GT210 head unit (pants..)
Well, a few weeks ago I started my other project thread and decided to get the car upgraded a bit... so started on the sound quality of the car.
Kenwood KFC-6970ie 6x9s (sorry, in my other thread I said they were alpine, woops..)
JBL gto326e (an absolute steal at £12.49)
The sound quality after have been added is alot better...obviously not great as they are both cheapo speakers, but good enough for me. However, I wanted a bit more bass and luckily caught bassjunkies on a day where it was doing £30 off the following deal:

Went to install it the other day though and found my head unit has no RCA leads or an remote, and I'd rather not install an RCA adapter and make my own remote lead so I'll just get a new head unit... So that's another thing on the shopping list
