Title: I'm Back !!!!!!!
Post by: Deano2711 on 29 July 2013, 21:32
Hi People.......as some of you are aware I have recently got my ass back into a Mark 3 after almost 12 months without a Golf. Was searching the internet and came across this VR6 with three owners from new - last owner for 19 years, full service history and 101k on the clock. Pretty much mint condition and running spot on. Could not resist having it and the smile is back on my face. Not sure what mods to do if any as its completely bulk standard. Any suggestions welcome ???

I'd leave it standard, you'll have put less money in to it when it comes to breaking it for spares in a few months time... :grin:

Looks mint....and i bet its solid under those rear plastic arches being a 92 model. Mines solid exept for the usual front jacking points but easy to sort. I'd lower it a wee bit and leave it as it is exterior wise. Looks almost like its just rolled out the showroom.

It is very clean and tidy with just one two inch scratch on rear bumper. Solid underneath and sills all perfect which is a change for a Mark 3. Got to be slammed first of all and go from there

As well as lowering and rims you need a quality exhaust and induction kit.....release that beautiful sound!!!
