A bellends MK3 1.6 Golf. Mystic Blue 3door - Recaro's or BBS RX-II's?

If you are aiming to take the mk3 off the road then you should keep saving for the replacement daily. Once that is bought you can get the mk3 into the shed and get stuck into repairs and mods

You've still got this? wow

You've still got this? wow

Yep 

Right, this weekend, I'm towing home my replacement:



 

Auto. 

88BHP so  at least it won't be TOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO slow....... Hopefully. 

If the paint doesn't clean up well it will be Satin or matte blacked. I will throw some 40 or 60mm springs on it, chuck in my sound system and live with it.


Golf is coming off road and genuine wings or some sort put on, new tail gate, another straight bonnet, grill, bumpers thrown on and remove ALL the windows and get it primed.


First job is rip the engine out though and I'll probably paint the bay.

Think you should go OAP+ on the corsa.

Some dealership stickers, AA badges, zimmer frame bike rack, nice pair of big beige glasses hanging from the interior mirror, Roger Whitaker in the tape player, mints and worthers bags on the passenger seat, the smell of warm urine and some ambiguous stains.

Mint.

Corsa is a POS. Still gotta go get it sometime. 

Golf issues:

- Exhaust sitting on rear beam, not connected anywhere, every single piece, including manifold leaking or cracked.

- Apparently the C/L on the drivers door is now intermittent. Great.

- Headlights don't work. New switch did nothing. Have had them working a couple of times, next thing is the indicator stalk.

- Water leaking into car in heavy rain, think this is where I ran a cable through the bonnet pull gromet. Woops.

- Radio has no ign. live feed so is bridged.

- Some wiring needs sorting but is no issue, only things I've done.

-I broke the scuttle panel. Doesn't effect anything but annoys me.

Plans:

- Fix above issues
- Hide and install air horn properly.
- Relay headlights
- Make custom headlight plugs for indicators cause I'm cool like that.
- Full exhaust system, no midbox, probably no cat.
- 16V engine.
- Decent audio install, possibly a false floor in the boot.
- Maybe battery in boot? Not sure on this yet.
- Hide washer bottle proably or do a MK4 one.
- Lupo and TT wiper arms and aero wipers.
- Source a new bonnet, wings, bootlid, headlight (O/S) and early grill.
- Strip the car out
- Get windows removed or remove them myself.
- Sand, sand, scotch
- Prime
- Do Shady's mum
- Source exhaust, wheels and leather seats.
- Cry
- MK3.5 dash?
- Source rusty GTi 16v (probably the easiest other then item. 17 on list)
- Rebuild engine?
- Pull birds.

That list will increase rapidly.

get cracking then boyo 

[Bellend]

Tax out 31st so gotta get that damned Corsa ready and MOT'd by then! Or it's bus pass heaven.

Oh and get the garage cleared out. There's a few MK3's in bits practically in there.

The plans sound good man. You're making me want to work on my mk3
