That motor is looking seriously sweet for such an early mk2, definately look cool in silver.
It's just gagging for an old skool single headlamp grille though.

I had originally considered giving her a cal look, slam her, diamond cut the wheels, roof rack, keeping it very subtle.

two reasons for not doing it:

She is so mint & original it would be a crime to start changing her Wolfsberg fresh looks.....

And a got no money!!!

Just gonna keep her as close to stock as possible, gonna put it a couple of show 'n' shines in the summer.

Totally agree with you on keeping it standard, it would be a crime to molest such an original example. A single headlap grille off a lesser model with a chrome badge would look cool IMO, keeping the standard one in the shed of course so it can always be changed back.

I'm glad your keeping it simple, the cal look is best left on the Beetle and T2 in my opinion...

Ah that is such a clean mark 2, and for a car that is 20 ish years old! outstanding!

Mark 2's look so good in silver!  :cool:

I think a few subtle mods maybe but only things that you can easily but back to normal, i.e a grill but it looks stunning as it is! so either way its gonna look quality

Cheers thought you would like it.

It would be nice to be able to meet with a few people but I guess we scattered all over the country.

Neaty, was you at Bug jam this year? I'm already starting to get the 6 month itch for Bug Jam, you gonna be there in July?

I've not been to Inters before, but mate keeps telling me to get my Golf up there, enter it in the Show 'n' Shine cos it will definately pick up a trophy. So I'll be there this year....

Cheers JettaTx, the car is so retro that I can even bring myself to swapping the tape plaer over to CD. Found some retro cassttes in the loft - Now 13,14, 15 etc.......couple of cool tunes bu tmainly sh!te!

Hello mate you the guy with the torch?

At least once a week I think about sorting out those little minor defects, although I can justify spending £500 to sort it my wife disagrees. To her its just an old car............philastien (not sure if thats how you spell that)

Cheers for the compliments it was nice speaking to you, see you in Jan 06

I havnt been to either inters or bug jam but i must go! and ithink i definately will next year, try and go to as many as i can. the only ones i have been to are Volkswagen North West and Dub Freeze (which was more of a big jumble sale) with the odd car here and there.

Mate, you got to get to Bug Jam. its very difficult to describe what you see but here are some highlights......

Camping, Beer, Gear, Woman (cool woman, pissed woman) Little parties everywhere all night, Loads of fancy dress, more beer, more gear, rave tent, full size fairground, loads of stalls (90% air cooled - 10% clothes etc..) stunning cars everywhere you look, party animals, dragsters (usually aircooled embarassing the water cooled)..........but most of all there are some seriously top people here.

It is the bollox!!!! Been for the last 5 years
