What model is your volkswagen?its a 3 door 1995 mk3 golf match 1.4 enigne code ABD.
why did you purchase this particular model?ive always liked german cars, got it from my dad and when he seen the car in local classifieds he bought it for me to fix (head gasket had blown) when i was 15 and it would be my first car now.
what modifications have you carried out on your car?first changed the wheels to some tsw razors (dont laugh, they were cheap and had good tyres lol) got gti bumpers and smoothed the front one, shaved badge and rear wiper and fitted new head unit and speakers, oh and i retrimmed the boot with a city scene carpet thing ><.
what modifications would you like to carry out on your car?lower it, sort out a decent sub build in the boot, leather interior with buckets up front, (maybe) vento front end or joey modded gti headlights, engine swap for a 2.0 16v ABF lump, all red rear lights, decent brake set up, sort out the imperfections in the paint and the few bits of rust, new steering wheel, suede and leather wrap some interior plastics and the headlining, maybe a show cage, just get it to show standards oh and my dream wheels, Borbet type A's with a little "twist"
.
do you see your car as mainly a form of creative remodeling or performance enhancement?at the moment 100% styling as im 17 and cant really go making it faster until my insurance drops.
what is the underlying ethos of owning a volkswagen to you? why?well for sure has to be the community, the friendlyness, diversity and friendly/helpfulness, i mean you can get a 18 year old in a mk2 slammed on its nuts over some nice dished wheels, a mk5 driven by a father of 2 on some audi 17's and air ride and a 60 year old guy in a concourse splitscreen all meeting together, helping each other out and getting along all because of 1 brand, but it doesnt stop there, you have the 18 year old going off with his retro water cooled buddies, the father of 2 with his new school crew and the 60 year old going off with the air ride finatics. and ive always been into german cars, btut hey are generally too big and costly except for the little vw's that just go and go and go until they break but then you ahve the fun of fixing and improving the car.
has there been a specific car that has influenced you with the choice of volkswagen?not really one car, but all the awesome cars you see grace the covers of magazines and the almost celebrity status you can get with a reputation for building decent cars and winning awards, basically we do all want to be famous or make it to the top and have people know your name in some way or another, i cant sing, dance, or act so i choose modifying my car as a way to get me noticed.
what to you is the most important part of being in an owners club?whether it be a single make, single model or a general car club there is always the sense of being a team and everyone will look after everyone else, like football teams, you dont know the guy next to you but you celebrate goals together, if u trip over he will help u up, all ebcause you support the same team and you share the same pride and dedication to what you believe in.
do you feel owning a volkswagen is a lifestyle choice? if so, please specify in what waydepends who you ask, i mean some people can buy a car to just take them from A to B and they wont bother doing anything to the car or attending meets or anything, but other people like me (im not selling my car until i get atleast 1 magsine feature) and probably most people on the forum are die-hard dubbers and spend most of their spare time with their cars or doing something related to their cars.
hope this helps you dude, good luck with your dissertion
