Hi, i've been hanging around on here for a while now so i thought i'd better post up some pic's of my little project.
I bought it in August 2009 for £352 off of E-bay with tax & MOT & drove it 130 miles home. I've done quite a few trackdays over the last 6 or 7 yrs & the Ring but that was in a Cossie & then an M3 Evo both modded along with R888's etc etc. I wanted to get into trackdays more but it was costing too much in an M3. Sold the M3 & bought an E39 M5 & this Mk2 Golf 16v.
It had a few holes in it & few other little issues but its only had 2 owners & is very straight. Had to have the rear sills welded up,also around o/s/r suspension turret, new battery tray welded in,the welding cost me £250. The car has been sitting down at a mates garage since i bought it in August 2009 slowly having bits done when time allowed. Got a second hand sparco cage for £200 which is now fitted, stainless Piper exh £70. Rear beam came off for poly bushes & new brake lines,goodridge hoses,discs,pads,bearings,handbrake cables.
Bought a secondhand OMP steering wheel of ebay, had lots of trouble since i bought the car with the horn contact ring earthing out & horn sounding all the time but i have sorted that, the washers didn't work but sorted that just bad connections.
So i have finally got the car back home & tinkering with it in my garage
, bought some Sebring alloys £100 & aerosoled them black,they came up really well,fitted R888 tyres. Anyway got more bits to fit,heres some pic's.
Cheers Simon.
