Hello folks, hope this post finds you all in good health... ok then.

Just bought myself an 87 mk2 golf gti 8v k-jet.
Fully stripped out, Lowered on coilovers (all the way at the back, little left to go at the front) LUKE harnesses and a drilled airbox, 14" BBS alloys.

Oh yeah and loads of rust all over the car.

Been looking at the photos of some of your cars, now im jealous again? :sad:

Anyway, hello all.

Mark

Stu(?), got a feeling mine'll make yours look fresh out of the factory.

I went for the rat look... not necessarily by choice ?:grin:

Welcome to the site. :smiley:

I've been thinking about selling my nice mk2 8v and buying a grotty looking 16v. :shocked:

I'll then be able to thrash the nuts off it without feeling guilty. Can't bring myself to do it with a nice Golf as often as I did with my old 8v :cry:
