Hello all, I have just returned to the Golf scene after about 10 years (kids, sorry!!!) as my last one was a sweet '90 spec Steel Blue Mk2 GTi 8v.
I'm back now with a Mk3 Avant Garde 2.0i 8v (god it's slow, but will sort that in time with a 24v lump) which I have just ordered a red mohair hood and next month it'll get slammed. It has a few faults of which I've posted question on this forum, namely N/S/F window not working off that doors switch and you need to press the drivers one down, then up and then down again to work, fine when you need it to go up again. It also has a electrical problem with the hood motor, I have tested the motor off the car and working fine, power and switch power to the relay, replaced relay and still not working (relay not clicking with power to it).
Since I got the car some low life has keyed both sides, so I have decided later to respray it Porsche Carrera White to contrast against the red hood and will find some sweet alloys in red too. Thinking about smoothing the bumpers and fitting textured side skirts to flow between the VR6 chin spoiler and the textured lower part of the rear bumper. Things I've done so far is started to replace the Blue interior parts with Black, fitted a glovebox instead of the parcel shelf, VR6 chin spoiler, bits of chrome (before being keyed) which may get ditched later and removed the rear badges and found out someone superglued them on!!! So I have rubbed down that panel ready for the respray
