Title: morning all
Post by: ScottieG on 17 March 2011, 10:01: Morning :smiley:

So this is where we say hello eh! :grin:

This place looks like a good forum so I thought I'd join up.

I'm not new to forums or mechanics so prob wont be asking many tech questions. I help run suzukiclubuk and have been using my SJ410 as a daily drive for years, but as its all stripped down again having more modifications done I needed a DD and after driving Benrevs newest gti I had to get one :smiley: so I put a deposit down for my first mkII gti last night, I'm picking it up in 2 weeks and can't wait :cool:

No pics of it yet but its a 1990 8valver in royal blue that is apparently chipped and running 119php through a stainless exhaust system. Apart from that its pretty much stock and just needs the good ol' headlining sorted, a small ding on the O/S front wing and a bit of a rust patch on the boot lid. It all looks pretty solid apart from that though.

As I haven't got any golf pics yet here's a few of my slightly modified zuki instead

Post by: ScottieG on 19 March 2011, 09:30: :grin: couldn't help but nick a few smilies off my forum.

Not sure on the exact day yet but will be around the eject of the month, might take a day off work to go get it and give it a good service, might even take it straight in for an MOT? Can't see it failing on anything, he's only driven it a few hundred miles in the few years he's had it.

Post by: ScottieG on 03 April 2011, 22:51: Evening all, well I'm a happy chap this evening :smiley: just picked my gti up and dropped it off at the garage for its mot tomorrow, so fingers cross it passes, I can't imagine it will fail on anything though, I have never known a 21 year old car to be so smooth and quiet, pulls pretty darn well too :evil:

I was wrong its actually helious blue as well!

Here are a few pics, will take some better ones tomorrow when its a bit lighter :grin:
The plan is to now tidy everything up, I'm going to keep it pretty much as it is apart from maybe some nice wheels in the future :cool:
