[jv]

Having had performance vauxhalls all my days i decided that it was time to move on and that i would buy the mrs a cheap run about around 1500-2000 and get myself something aswell, all she wanted was a black golf 3dr that looked nice, so set about looking for one and come across an anniversary that caught my eye however the price was a bit more than i was hoping to pay, i have always liked the look of them.

so after a few emails to the owner i decided to go and view the car as i had a day off work as it turned out it was bucketing down with rain so when viewing car it wasnt easy to see much but to be honest i was one of they buyers who was having it as long as nothing major was wrong.

car had FSH and a big folder of recepits from new with only 2 previous owners each one having the car for 5 years.

here is few pics from advert of car:

well got my finger out this weekend and fitted new mats, painted caliper and fitted rear wiper arm heres a couple of pics of my hard work.



after painting this and looking at difference ill need to paint the rest now.


fitting rear wiper wasnt easy as i bought touran wiper for alot cheaper than a mk5 wiper but it was just a tad too big so had to cut an inch of blade to make it fit without rubbing at top of rear screen, when cutting it i lost the end cap of arm but found a another wee bit that fitted, doesnt look great but will hopefully find end cap in shed somewhere.

done nothing with car for last few months but all the small jobs are building up!!!

jobs need doing are

replace lcd screen
replace headlight bulbs
find boost leak!!! sure thats what i hear!!!

plan is to fix the easy bits and then hopefully take car off road and get everything done at the same time alogn with few bits sprayed.
