Title: sold my clio run about and bought a proper shed
Post by: mitch_evolution on 14 April 2007, 10:44

well had to sell my car to my brother in law for family reasons and went out and got my old mans golf gti mk2 (been stood in a field 4 years) and yes you can tell its a proper shed rust and mold everywhere inc inside lol.

Well amazingly the thing started first time  :o .

Here is what it looked like when i got it wednesday evening.

not bad really and looks pretty cool just needs lowering and then maybe some wide ass wheels.

single grill fitted, bottom sprayed black, new boot, repair and respay or rear panel, new dtm exhaust, new cam belt, new fan belt, ram air induction filter and 128 thousand miles on the clock and still pulls like a train and pulls away from my mates mk4 astra sri 2.0l lol. not to mention having unmarked recaro interior and cool golf ball gear knob.

Did you do the spray yourself? - Fancy putting some more detail on how you did it?

Looks great by the way!
