Hello Mr Lewis!
yeah 5 door... more doors more whores! :evil:
bought a house, so the mk4 took longer to go than expected, almost got another mk1 but couldn't turn this down! 12 months test in a fortnight for £240!
i've not even seen it in the flesh yet!
ride height has to match or lower my mk1

(note the golfgti stickers! seeeeeeee they did go on the car!)

Welcome back :cool:
Looks alright in that picture.
seems there are still the same cretins about just with new names :grin:
bought it based on the picture... well the boyfriend's seen it and was offered it cheap so we couldn't say not!
selling the mk4 will be the difficult bit!
-
nice and low that!
what height you got that at?
-
Looks sweet :cool:
-

the mk1 was on coils with the bump stops removed. :) the coils were approved to 190mm irc.
mk2 is on springs and shocks for now, it's going to be a slow project as i'm currently getting the drive dug out first.
think we'll stick coils on the mk2 and find some fun wheels, nothing majorly expensive and probably just stick with lowering it, it's all i did to the cab apart from the supersprint and i just enjoyed driving it, so it will be the same for the mk2 i reckon!
-
Welcome back, looks a good / straight car :afro:

Welcome back, looks a good / straight car :afro:
yeah i hope it's ok.... difficult with not seeing it, and i wont see it for a few weeks until it's got mot and then i can go collect it and put some tax on it. My other half knows the car well so i'm confident it's not horrendous, and certainly wasn't overpriced for a car with a years test!
Very excited though, couldn't get another mk1 with the other half selling the mx-5 to get one, his and hers mk1's would be bad, so the mk2 is perfect!
:grin:
-
Hope all goes well when you go to collect. :smiley:
-
get a weekend in birmingham out of it!
need to pull my finger out with the driveway now! and decide what wheels i want!

i know the fella is getting rid of these, i love them and he hates them, not sure if they'll fit or anything...
-
^^Very different :smiley:
-
i love them, and he hates them, wants to run g60 steels.
we have major difference in opinions with regard to vw's!
-
Hello my dear! :smiley:
-
Hello my dear! :smiley:
Hello!!!!!!!! :smiley:
not quite a cabby, but certainly a step in the right direction!
-
LOL, Leave it to Han to wrench me out of the MKV section :grin:
Nice new motor........will this one actually get to shows under it's own power? :rolleyes: :kiss:
-
Oh, and I like the Eminem thread title.... :cool:
-
i think the cabby made it to shows on its own power, apart from one year at elsecar where it to and from a show on an AA trailer!
usually it's just the fuel home i don't want to pay so i get the AA to come! haha!
i have no idea how reliable this will be, but im sure the other half will get the blame when it breaks, or when i've done something stupid like fill it with diesel or something! will be 3 weeks until I can get it and it'll make its first appearance at Dub pres if there is one in December!
nice to see you outside of the mkv board! :wink:

its not on these wheels, but this is what it looks like :)
-
5drs are cool, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. :wink: :kiss:
-

ive got to wait 3 weeks until i can collect it, seriously cannot wait! :smug:

back, and finally in a mk2 :)
cant have his and hers mk1's...
-
Yeah matching his and hers cars is not a good look unles they are a MK apart. :grin:
Nick
-
would still be in the mk4 if it wasnt for him - must be a keeper! (espec now the mx5 has gone!) :smug:
-
He's sold his MX5? He's gone down in my estimations!
-
yup - bought this :)
(http://a7.sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/321593_10150848573890010_534060009_20907314_2052844671_n.jpg)

:wink:
Hi I don't think these will suit a big bumper Mk2 so well, a small bumper maybe....
-
they're not mine anyway, fella is gunna sell them, he wants g60 steels, will run it as it is for now without the carbon fakey inserts :D
-
Looks nice!
-
Welcome back Han, good choice with the mk2.
Yep still some of the old cretins lurking ;)

:kiss:

I'm Knackered then... Just talked the wife into a MK2 - (getting shut of her Fiesta ST150 now it's 3 years old and no doubt going to go wrong and cost a mint...) Can I get away with different colours??? :wink:
That makes 5 x MK2's at home (Mine, Missus & My Sons & 2 Donors) :cool:
-
car was all scheduled to be collected yesterday, turns out the guy hadnt got it mot'd as promised.
Possibly next weekend it'll get trailered home :undecided:
-
MOT tomorrow hopefully :grin:
-
Car arrives tonight (after a bit of messing!)
feels weird considering i've never seen it in the flesh and it's my car!!

well this was after it's first clean back in december, it's by far mint but it's had a new backbox, boot welded to make it water tight, and also behind the rear bumper welded up :) rear panel is showing a fair bit of bubbling/rust under the paint, but im not worried about that for the money.
16v rear lights have gone and i've replace with standards as they were cracked, although thinking of tinting the rears red...
bought some bumper texture paint to touch up the rear at some point soon as its very patchy and previously been painted.
Rear wiper needs to go altogether, need a new headlining, and a bit of love all round.
drives pretty well aside from the new issues with wiper/indicator stalks, but thats to b expected with mk2 ownership, its just how i remembered it.
well worth £220 with a years test.

Looks nice, what are the wheels?

:shocked: good buy for that cash!

some BBS aez combined effort with mock carbon fibre centres, running them without the centres for now and they are double spoke style :)
-
wheels :sick:
car :cool:
perhaps that audi is a better option for me now :tongue:
-
wondering if the girl i sold the cab to (who wrote it off) would want to part with the 15" castelletes that were on it, shes currently running them on her mk1 tin top, but who knows.
Other half has mentioned running his centra's on it, but i dont think i trust myself with the priviledge!
Car looks horrific at the moment, but what dirty car doesnt!
