Title: Colour choice
Post by: Si on 18 May 2006, 08:41
Hey guys. Im thinking of changing my Golf driver for another but want a 3 door this time..
was gonna sell mine but the 215k miles doesnt appeal to many people (even tho engine is sound).

So i got a plan.... do i get a cheap white 3 door and put my engine in it, make it a stripped out racer or stick with the black 5 door and tidy it up? decisions decisions!

Or.... what other colour driver would be nice to base a project car on?  :undecided:

Tornado red baby, looks good when it is all polished, my paint is in good nick but it does need a good T-CUT and polish every month or 2.

Si stick with the one youve got! if you need any mechanical parts you can have the leftover shell of my golf if you want, 60 quid, its only missing the carpet,interiour,lights,front end,wipers,steering wheel and bumpers  :wink:

in fact, if you stick a steering wheel and drivers seat in it its still driveable, engine isnt quite dead yet, still got a few left in it

I'd keep that one mate, as I said on another thread I think your car looks really nice and its quite individual. With the miles that are on it you'll never get back the obvious time, effort and money you've put into it. Sometimes its a case of better the devil you know  :evil:
