My Golf Mk3. My 1st Car Project **FOR SALE**

[OwenD.mk3]

Im new to the forum and i am 17, And this is my 1.4 Golf Mk3. This was the 1st day i had it, after it was standing in the same place for 2 years after my mum left it hear after she got her new car. Its a 97 plate and it has only dun 84,000 miles so i thought it would be a good fun project for my 1st car





After an hour of trying to get it up and running, it started after 2 years of going nowhere





Sanding down the steal wheels to spray black.





Not to bad for my 1st go. 





Gave it a wash and put all the wheels back on.





Started on charging the batery fully, and trying to get the bodywork back to its original color using t-cut.
And get all the missing body parts,





Got a debadge grill, and sprayd it. But then i realised that the color was diferent. So i will re do it in the futere.





It dont look to bad from far, just when you proper look at it you can tell its abit lighter. Also you can see the lacquer coming off the bonet.





Some new JOM coilovers





Front and back coilovers



Out with tho old, in with the new







Lowerd. The back ones were easy





After a wash and a wax. Starting to look nice and cleen!





Looking good, lowerd 55mm at the front, and not sure at the back





55mm front. looking good




A tiny bit of camber





How it looks atm, Got the money naw so many new things to be buy





Just put some nice GTI back lights on




looking for £600 for it all leave a comment!

youve  made a good start mate, liking the colour 

got any plans??

[Khare]

Not bad for a 17 year old 

Looks a lot lower than 55mm though 

[thai-wronghorse]

I concur, the rear might be something like 55mm or so but the front is definitely lower than that.

Good starting base mate I like the colour also and it looks good now its lowered and youve painted the steels good work 

[OwenD.mk3]

Thanks for all the good coments Well i am saving up for a nice looking backbox, with a good sound. Im only 17 so i dont really mind geting the cheep ones :L Im not really sure how much i have lowerd it atm really, i just got both sides the same hight really.
I need to get the tiny parts of rust off and get all the scratches witch my mum did :L And i have a GTI spoiler i need to put on

I think JOM coilovers are shorter than standard shocks int he first place so he's probably closer to a 70->80mm drop. Looks a lot better after a good clean  Remember to get the alignment done to get the camber sorted

Looking good. Keep at it.

looks good dude, but IMO get rid of the camber in the front there's no need for that until you try running wheels that are too wide.

+1 on that. Does look good though mate!  Its nice to see a 17 year old taking pride in their motor instead of runnin round nicking bits off everyone else's!!
