Evening matey, sorry to hear about your bereavement, these things are never easy are they :(
Car looks sweet and very very tidy, by the look of those pictures you been taking it to a runway to test how fast it is or what ;D
-
photo shoot area is what me and mr wotto used in errr january i think, a disused air field 2 miles away, its a good venue for mucking about and pics etc!!!,will be bringing my 16v to gti festival at santapod on the 11th of july for some 1/4 mile fun!! (after removing the off side headlight for that ram air effect on my induction kit!! lol)

oh yeah chears gibby!! she is very very tidy!!, smokes a little (valve stem seals) but hey i can live with ait using a little oil till i recoup my bank funds (after my mk4 rebuild ?1000!!!) still goes like stink!!
not bad for ?700 is it!! lol
Gaz 8)
-
?700, ! Quality Gaz, cheaper than a mk4 rebuild ! Interesting that you prefer to drive it more than the mk4, just goes to show that when a cars good, it's good, no matter how old they are ;D
Hopefully see you at GTi festival when you give it some down that 1/4 mile ;D
-
alrite matey!
real good to have you back gaz! ;)
sorry to hear bout the news dude :(
the valver looks real nice for only 700 quid, what a bargain, you could easily double that when selling ;)
hopefully ill be at the meet at santa pod as well, and i got a new valver so we could thrash it out on the strip.
mine goes like stinky poo toooooo!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D
-
yeah ill be there gibby!!! taking wifey (with no kids for the day!! waheyyy!!, to cam cord and take pic of me draggin!!!) must remember to change cam belt and tensioner before hand though!!! (dont want any mishapps like on my mk4!! ,although previous owner said hed changed but im never gonna take a chance again!!) gonna change me clutch cable aswell as it feels 'unsmooth' just to make sure for santapod starts!!

-

Gaz 8)
-

Cheers, I'll play it by ear, don't want them getting too bored but I'd like to get our young un into going to these shows, be a nice experience for him like. :)
Dunno about the shopping and shate bit Gaz, our lass wants to take my car down the strip :o in a mk1 cab, ooh, not sure about that one ;D

Gaz 8)
-
hey gaz, good to see you back again - the car is a bargain! :)
gibby, I wouldn't say there is really much for kids to do at GTI Fest. Long as it's not raining the 1/4 mile is good entertainment. Other than that, a few trade stands and food places is about it. Oh, and our club car area if we get that going :)
-
That is a very nice MK2 you have there. I agree with the drive of them, I had the A3 same as a MK4 in some ways, so I know where your coming from. 8)
-
Thanks for the info jv, might just come down with Mickela then. :)

Gaz 8)
oh yeah have the plastic front spoiler/lip as well (you can have this!!)
-
you got any other interesting golf bits gaz? ;)
-
not really marcus, these are still all the bits left from a 8v with 16v conversion i scrapped earlier this year!!, want rid of em so for peeps like mixologist he can have em to give his 1.3 a bit more of a gti look!!, marcus pm me if theres any bits you may need and ill have a rumage though!!
Gaz ;D
oh yeah a mate of mine has just popped round in a ren 19 16v, with some fandango 17"bbs wheels on!! think they had 35 series tyres on, he said ?100 and my imolas and i could have em?? not too sure though stud pattern etc all ok just all that scrubbing etc dont know if i can be doing with it!!ill have to take a pic but 17"s seem too big for a mk2??
-
car looks sweet gaz, bargain for the dosh mate.
on the parts front, if anybody needs a 50mm inlet manifold or a 16v rocker cover let me know and I'll bring to gti festival. ;)
-
hmm could be interested in them bits gav?? i can get em media barrel washed (polished) at work!! see how much dosh i have at the time!!, saving for bugjam and still recovering from mk4 rebuild at the mo!!
Gaz 8)
-
you can have them mate. I got them for f**k all so no probs to pass them over. I started to file the manifold myself cos i was going to polish for my valver, but two months with a f**kin dremmel, and a b a s t a r d cut and I've only done one pipe and a bit..... ;D
plus I've sold the valver so don't need em!
I'll bring em to the festival. ;)

I don't recommend taking the kids. Took mine last year and they did get bored.
