New to the forum - pics of my mk3 gti included
« on: 12 January 2013, 14:34 »
Hi All,

I am new to the forum and new to golfs! This is my first golf gti that I have picked up as a run around. It is in modest condition and a few hours will see her right.

I need to get fix the abs issue on it and give the body work a good tidy up, apart from that she is mint and everything works as it should!

Welcome, looks tidy.  Check for rust behind all the plastics while you're going over the bodywork, particularly the sills.

Thanks for the welcomes guys

I pulled off all the plastic trim last weekend and I found zero rust!There is some surface rust where the jacking points are but you would expect that.

I sealed the wheel arches and sills with waxoyl while I was having a look but I could only do so much due to the cold! When the snow lifts I am going to finish sealing her. I have also restored the dim black plastic trim with black in a flash and I am really impressed with the outcome. I will put more pics up soon.

I plan to use her as a run around and I am keeping her standard apart from getting a set of sexy bbs alloys and some coilovers.
