She started off life as a stock 8v in pretty much original condition - monster truck suspension and bald 14 'sport' alloys, wonky standard exhaust and those lovley amber lights!
After a trip to Inters this year it all changed - Being a silver car I loved the whole idea of more silver and add some chrome, but retain the whole euro / old skool look with the small bumpers and phat rims
To come ....Rims:-I'm still really undecided on these so will have to keep u posted. I'm more than likely gonna go for something aftermarket and wide like Ad's Steffan Cups, or maybe old skool BBS edition ones, or I'm hoping to find something more 'original' than these that just sets the whole car off!
More than likely with the cost of wheels these days these will be left till last ...
Engine:-This is next on the agenda as she's just not got the legs to see off the likes of Type R's - ST170's or 172 cups.
Again soooo many choices!!! It looks like a straight toss up between a g60 conversion or a 2.1 TSR 8v lump and continue to stick 2 fingers up at snobby 16v owners?
Bodywork:-More colour coding to come - more removal of trim and hopefully a few original 'trick' touches to finish her off.
Thanks to anyone who's taken the time to read this - I hope you love my Golf as much as I do, and those of you attending shows; those show and shine trophies will be mine soon !?
