Title: Dilbert's mk4 golf 1.8 20v
Post by: dilbert on 28 December 2011, 18:08
Bought the car off a friend for a bargain price of £250  135,000miles on the clock but had a front ender and clutch was gone !

the golf was remapped by r-tech, forge recirc valve, g60 flywheel with vr6 clutch. sports cat with powerflow exhaust system ( powersh!te exhaust drowns the car with noise, i hate it )

 My mates mate wanted £150 for them, I got there and 1 needed a tyre so he said £80.

He didn't know if they where genuine or not so it was a gamble, but when I got them back to work I scrubbed them clean and on the inside is printed VW OZ

Liking the work, I had to repair mine recently with similar front end damage, quite an easy repair.

Also that looks like Tavy bridge?
