hello. . . just thougth i'd give a little story behind my car and how i came about to owning it and anything i've done or have planned for it really. prob not as much as the other dub rides but would like to my own little thread.
Well. . as far as it goes it was stuck in someones garage rotting away as the guy who owned it ran it out off MOT and tax and just left it to die. i could of took it off him for £500 but didin't feel i had the time to clen her up etc. . . but my boss did!
So he brought the car for £500 (no pics of what state she was in, sorry) and went about getting her up to standard with refurd alloys, brand new headlights, full service, oil change, new ht leads, dizzy, rotor arm, side skirts, small dent removed out of drivers door. inside and out valated, MOT and taxed and she was ready to roll!
This to my boss was a project as back in the day he had one almost brand new and set him back almost £8k!
this was until he let me borrow it one night and i fell in love with it. . not so much the speed as it is nippy but driven and been in alot faster car but just seemed great to drive then checking out the net and reading on here loved the whole VW thing. . . so took the car off him for a grand as thats what it stood him at and would off stood me at if i got the car in the first place!
since then not really done much to it really. . . . couple simple things and things that needed to be done. simple things like i got some pressed plates made up and changed my dash to LED blue, also changed all the badges for brand new ones from VW, GTI grille badge, boot lid badge, rear golf GTI badge, side skirt GTI badges. Had stereo with usb and aux connection fitted,and parts of dash sorted out.
Things that needed to be done was middle box that i had sorted and back box postioned right... then ABS sorted and coolant flush. sensor changed and also a fan control switch. Heat shield around back box has been a pain and a constant rattle but fixed today!
Refurd with new centre caps if not a little dirty.
