Eventually - Picked this MK2 up

[BondandBigM]

Oh dear, seems I've caused a bit of a stir with my first proper post   

As you can no doubt see we are 50+ boy and girl racers, we know nothing of these modern rules and regulation. I was driving MK1's when they were New and the mot ticket was just a minor inconvenience once and a while  

Anyway let's not fall out, my apprentice has the Daewoo's running tickety boo tonight so I've had a chance to pull it into the workshop and give it a bit of spit & polish. I'll throw up a separate before and after post in the appropriate section later.

^^Ah don't worry about it fella, it's great to have you on here and love the fact the pair of you, and your car are old skool!

HID's are a bit of taboo subject for many on this site, just be thankful it wasn't you that fitted them! 

Love the car, I have a thing for black or white Golfs, kind of makes me miss my white MK1.

If you're going to post progress, before and after shots etc, get a thread started in the Dub Rides section HERE  Very popular section for projects which also allows people to give you feedback. 

On top of that, many of us double post in the relevant projects section to keep a log of what we've done to our cars without people commenting (only you can post in it).  HERE

To get the above setup, you just need to send JV a short and sweet pm.  You can do that by clicking HERE

Look forward to your updates.

I have to confess to being a fan of the quad headlamps and small bumpers but thats a nice looking car. Look forward to seeing further updates.

To be honest not much I want to do with it, I'll get the Lenso' s refurbed at some point as the laquer is lifting a bit on the polished rims and some proper tyres, it has these cheap NanKang (sp?) things that are probably made out of melted down hockey pucks and far to narrow for the rims and lethal in the wet although that seems to be the look at the moment. And if possible I'd like a leather interior it I can pick one up in decent condition.

We'll see it depends how much pocket money Big M gives me.

Looks decent but not cheap. CLICK

Thanks

As you say not cheap but I might get in touch and see if there is a deal to be done 

Minor problem, I just noticed it's miles away at the other end of the country from me, probably cost a fortune just to get it delivered

Before yu rush out and buy a leather interior - try a Recaro one for size...

I've had both and a recaro set is 1000 times nicer than a leather interior esp when you dont have AC fitted or heated seats...

Looks straight.

I agree with the recaro's. Had leather but once you go cloth recaro you won't go back. Either get an expensive retrim in leather or find a mint set of recaro's. These old leather seats crack with age.


I dare you to fit an original 4 lamp red grille and try your hardest not to like it. You will end up a purist
