Title: Mk 3.5 Golf 2.0 GTi Colour Concept Convertible in yellow
Post by: davidmartin on 01 July 2011, 09:32
Hiya guys, Pick this up about a week ago!!

Few bits need doing though:
Rust on the front wing and around the fuel cap.
Drives side window not working.
Leather needs redyeing. (The car has been stored in a garage with the top down over winter but the leather must have got a bit damp and there are black spots of mould here and there)
Small water leak the headlight washers area.
Elec roof didnt work but i have fixed it and its works.
Cd player keeps losing sound but its works but no sound.
Plus am looking to get rid of the alloys and get a nice set of bbs.

So heres a few pics of it anyways and let me know what you think?!

Plus if you have any ideas on how to fix the probs above aswell

Cheers and hope you enjoy>>

Some better wheels and a slight drop would finish it off nicely.

BBS's wheels would have been an option, lots of choices in 4x100 howver.
