Title: My little VW Golf
Post by: Chantuz on 25 January 2006, 14:06
Ok, heres and updated piccy of my baby!
He's going into body shop to get the dints and rust on the doors fixed, and to get the bumpers colour coded...

Oh and some div not to be named jumped on my front bumper bending the arm..  :cry: I'll do that myself lol

Considering getting the sprinter vents welded into the front wing, they look fruity!

Get some half smoked tinted rear clusters like on mine:(http://i35.photobucket.com/albums/d181/Neaty/unloweredfromrearleft.jpg)

makes a hell of a difference to the back, gets rid of the orange and white that doesnt quite go with any colour really!  :grin:
Title: Re: Updated pic of my mk2
Post by: Chantuz on 25 January 2006, 16:18
Buy them or just DIY? I have a spare set which a mate would spray with that tinting stuff.

Originally want crystal smoked rears, headlights, side repeaters and fog lights. would suit the colour much better than just crystal.

Post by: Neaty on 25 January 2006, 16:32
It would prob be best to buy them to be honest, my mate tinted his lights at the weekend and it just streaked! but if ur a dab hand with a rattle can then give it a whirl, if u have a spare set then even if it does go wrong it wont matter!

Have a look in parts for sale, i bet someone is breaking a mark 2 with them on!

i tinted ones on my car and my mates you can get it to work and look good but dont buy that $hit from halfords cause that doesnt work.  real ones do look better if you got the money.
Title: Re: Updated pic of my mk2
Post by: Chantuz on 26 January 2006, 18:12
YAY! Just bought a splitter and GTI spoiler  :laugh:

Can't wait till it's all done.

Title: Re: Updated pic of my mk2
Post by: roverspeed on 26 January 2006, 23:19
wot about getting the side strips removed and filled, and the arches blended into the wings and colour coded?

Always think blended arches look better on mk2 on big wheels

Looking good so far though  :smiley:
Title: Re: Updated pic of my mk2
Post by: Chantuz on 28 January 2006, 11:22
I've actually got a set of spare arches and skirts that I was going to spray up and see what it looked like...dunno whether I can be bothered...of whether my mate iain can be bothered lol  :rolleyes:

Title: Re: Updated pic of my mk2
Post by: Chantuz on 06 February 2006, 12:06
Definately will do! In bout 2 weeks I'm guessing!

Not many people will be able to see much has been done, but if you saw it when it was just a standard driver then you can.. Thats what I'm worried about, people may say..well it looks like a normal GTI  :rolleyes:

Ah well... Interior is next! A family member does that for a living so I will get that done asap!

Title: Re: Updated pic of my mk2
Post by: Chantuz on 15 February 2006, 14:29
Car went into the bodyshop today! Would have been done by tuesday night if I took it in at nine when it was spose to be in..ah well should be done by thursday morning! Yay! And I'm not paying for any of it lol
My ex bf is paying to get the doors fixed and my currant bf is paying to get my bumpers sprayed!

Saves me some money after all that I've spent on it!

Bought it for 90 pounds, completely standard. The head gasket had gone on it so I fixed it myself for a minimum of 50 notes for gasket set, oil n air filter etc, then it needed a new thermostat (easy), then it had a corroded sump which was replaced, then a water leak from the intake manifold as the gromit had blown out since it over heated causing the need for a new thermostat, I've had to buy two new tyres for it, its had two brakes pipes replaced, a headlight....

Then the clutch went..in the middle of nowhere!!!!  :angry: so i got really angry with it and revved its bollox off and chipped the camshaft...  :rolleyes: anyways me and a mate took it apart to see which lope was chipped...however putting it back together again..he did the timing wrong and bent the valves!!! So I bought a donor car for 100 notes and took the cylinder head off and replaced mine! yay! Oh and I removed the p slots and big bumpers from that car aswell!

Overall I've spent just over 600 quid fixing my car. It's all worth it IMO.  :laugh:

Oh yeah and now the indicator problem and my dash lights don't work anymore lol :cry:

WILL POST PICS AS SOON AS HE COMES OUT!
Title: Re: Updated pic of my mk2
Post by: [han] on 15 February 2006, 15:24

Title: Re: Updated pic of my mk2
Post by: Chantuz on 15 February 2006, 15:38
lol I can honestly say that nothing else makes me smile more when you beep the horn and someone is under the bonnet  :grin: I love it! Even when it happens to me...

Just ask to help if something goes wrong with your car :) you will easily pick something up.

Post by: Dizzie on 15 February 2006, 16:31
both our cars are on 17's lowered 60mm, but mine looks slightly lower than your's...

maybe it's cos I have 16v springs or summut.
Title: Re: Updated pic of my mk2
Post by: Chantuz on 15 February 2006, 16:41
Maybe... :sad: I wanted coilovers...

Does yours seem to sit lower at the back ???
Title: Re: Updated pic of my mk2
Post by: Si on 15 February 2006, 16:47
The 16v Springs are 15mm lower i think. So Dizzie yours will be lowered 60mm on 16v Springs.

Car is gettin retested tomorrow!

However ...I wondered what the limiter valve was that it failed on... Turns out my car doens't actually have a limiter valve.. Interesting.  And the guy who looked at my car today saids the brake lines wren't excessively corroded... He cleaned everything up and found the shocker wasn't leaking either. Don't take your car to boro tyres!!!

Getting it retested at a different garage and getting our money back from Boro Tyres...

How long does it take for deliveries to arrive? Betta Motoring (shop i ordered through) said they got the call from Wolfrace yesturday morning saying that the alloys were on their way, so if they have sent them off...will they be here before sunday??

Had a bit of a blonde moment today lol my car is burning oil :( so when filling up I forgot to put the oil cap back on!!  :laugh: :embarassed: Now half my bonnet and engine bay is black!!!!  :rolleyes: I'm so daft!!!! I just can't get over it!!

Also I got my first road kill last night, a poor little bunny rabbit, i felt aweful...  :undecided: :cry: I've ran over a cat before but that was under the middle of my car and I saw it run away after, it just hit my front splitter....but this one went under the wheel!  :sad: In a way it was it's own fault, it ran one way so I swerved the other...then it ran towards me!

I've decided to knock the idea of having tints on the head for the time being and get sorted the things that really need doing!

Went to Simpsons Auto Salvage on Saturday morning (very good by the by, always get what I go there for) and brought back a few little bits to make Gary look a lot better, little things but make a hell of a difference!

Original door guards, do need spraying the same colour as my car tho!
(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c49/Chantuz/Gary/DoorGuards.jpg)

Chromey door handle inserts, am gona respray the original plastic inserts the same colour as the car so have a choice of two, also will be having something engraved into the metal ones.... ;)
(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c49/Chantuz/Gary/DoorHandles.jpg)

New chrome front badge, didn't even have to make the effort to get it off as it was just lying on the bonnet of a car behind the one we were dismantling lol
(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c49/Chantuz/Gary/GrillBadge.jpg)

Got big bumper side brackets to level out the bumpers and try to stop them sagging, and extra bolts too.
Rear bumper -

Post by: Chantuz on 22 June 2006, 17:11
I know how ya feel, I'm always thinking about what next on my golfy!

For example!!!

My car will be visiting the bodyshop again soon!  My friend ryan opened the door of his 200sx into my drivers door the night before GTI International on Sunday..lovely chip, anyhoo I noticed an imperfection int he paint work from when I first had my doors resprayed so I took it back to them.

SO:-
Both doors re sprayed.
Wing mirrors colour coded.
Small spots of rust in various places repaired.
Smooth boot - Wiper and jet removed.

All for £100 - £120, bargain! But why stop there ..???!!

Gonna have my grill spoiler, door guards and smooth boot handle sprayed up, won't be much, will prolly spray them for free anyways.

Sprinter vent - £25
To weld and spray - £30 to £50

Cut holes out for my fog lights and buy brackets and looms (anyone got any?)

Buy a boot solenoid! £10 - £15???

Also buying a new engine and tax in august! Planning on having it all done by Festival :D   

Overall coming to a total of £515. Not bad I must say, if anyone got any money saving ideas it would be much appreciated!

I think thats such a great mk2. Awesome wheels (you certainly contributed to me gettin them) great colour, and will be fab once its on those coilovers. Any changes to the front end after the corsa bashing or is 'he' staying the same?

I bought the seats off a friend of mie who had them in his mk2, so they already had mk2 sub frames on them ;) The lad who drove into me has accepted all blame and is paying for my golf to be fixed, costing about £350!

Thanx hun, really made my day, I dont get many compliments :( Glad I helped you decide to get the cups too! I've had people say the colour is dull and boring too.. However I like it, you get a lot more silver/grey cars out now and mines really unique! No changes to the front end really.. getting the ariel smoothed, wing mirrors and slam panel colour coded and getting my crystal smoked fog lights fitted!

nice sound system

:( When it works!

HEY ALL!!! Bout time I got myself back on this site!

Lets start where I left off - the accident! Obivously now I have my car back, so here are some pics of him strutting his stuff ;)

Got some new gaitors!
(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c49/Chantuz/Gary/gaiters.jpg)

And a Wolfsburg Edition gear knob!
(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c49/Chantuz/Gary/gearknob.jpg)

Bonnet lifters fitted!
(http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c49/Chantuz/Gary/DSC00354.jpg)

Ands that about it lol nothing much changed this year, not even got around to fitting my fog lights either  :cry: Oh yeh had the coilovers fitted, now sitting pretty at aprox 70mm lower

However I did find out something, I got a letter from my insurance company saying I had forgotten to put the engine number down on the modified car report for my new engine..

So went to get it and turns out my engine is an EZ engine... that means it is still a 1.6!!!

Went to a rolling road day and came out with the least powerful award lol wasn't too bad, 100bhp at the fly.. and thats when we thought it was a 1.8!

No she had a 1.6 originally, then bought what she thought was a 1.8 off a friend bnut when the insurance company asked for the engine number it turned out the 1.8 she thought she bought turned out to be a 1.6 :p

Fair play and all that, just not for me i'm afraid!  :wink:

Are the seat covers universal or were they made up specially? They look a very good fit if they are universal.

ive been wanting to do that to my door cards!! but i want all red or black, could you possibly write down a stage by stage guide? thanks :)
Title: Re: Pics of my mk2!
Post by: Chantuz on 21 August 2007, 19:36
Mew they are not seat covers :P I have mk4 golf seats in my mk2, we simply took the covers off them, un picked the centres, cut the purple cordaroy to the right size and stitched them over the original centres and then back into the seat cover!

dubsport - all I did was strip the door cards down and litrally pull the cover off the door cards. Cut the material and used spray mount glue to stick the material onto the door cards, making it smooth took time lol and they arent perfect now anyways..

Kudos to you Chantuz, ya having a go, and a good go at that.  It's all about having your own look, and not some off the shelf stuff.

WOW. Look at that date, 2008..  :laugh: damn facebook and full time jobs stops people coming on to forums eh!

Thought I would come back since this was my favorite forum back in the day :) a lot has happened since!

Because I live by the sea the golf had taken a battering from the salty air and ended up needing some attention to the body, it received complete new sills, rear arches and the rear valance, along with the damaged battery tray and both front doors. It had a little bit of engine smoothing, nips and tucks and a complete re-spray. a set of shiney BBS RM splits with stainless dishes and bolts and a nice cleaned up 1.8 16v KR engine. Inside I got hold of some Recaro seats and had a fresh but retro re-trim including door cards, parcel shelf and steering wheel. So here he is now!

oh hey  :laugh:  i seriously need to set aside some time for forum therapy haha!

I need some help from you guys, my golf does have bike carbs on at the moment but after the other weekend I've just had enough so getting rid.

Im looking at some a twin 40s set up, does anyone know of the best place to buy a new full kit or perhaps know anyone selling one?
