Title: Dan's Black mk2 Golf Gti
Post by: dannyboy86 on 29 January 2013, 01:01
Hi all, I have been meaning to start a little build thread for my 'project'...

It's been very slow progress so far with other things taking priority (my daily freelander 2) and hopefully I'll be able to get this moving a bit quicker soon!
The hardest thing i face is having the car at my dads... 90+ miles away and over the winter I havn't had much chance to get up there... :( anyways...

Following on from... http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=234459.msg2161335#msg2161335

That's my fav pic and the reason i bought it! :)

The main change I have actually done is swap the awful interior...

From this...

To this...

Plans in no particular order...

1= sort out bodywork, dents and eventual respray
2= engine change to 2.0 16v abf
3= wire up sound system
4= change wheels, bbs ra's im thinkings
5= change back suspension from coilovers to more standard height
6= upgrade brakes
7= replace windscreen
9= new alarm
10= new exhaust
11= new gear lever gaiter/ poss back to rubber

other little bits too :)
hopefully some updates will come soon!

Dan.

hehe yeah I do like the height, just fancy taking it back to standard for a while and the ride is far too harsh! it does look great though! :)
