Hi from Tring (small bumper GTI)
« on: 07 July 2013, 20:34 »
Hi been signed on here for a while but never posted.

I have had a fair few VWs over the past year or so here's some of them

Polo coupe 1.4 16v with CBR600 bike carbs

Mk3 1.4

Mk2 1.6d 4 door

13s - never again

That's just a few all bought standard and I've just had my fun.

So time for something new ...

Bought this 2 days ago hasn't been cleaned it what looked like a year and had been living under a tree so have it a clean and here's the outcome

Mk2 GTI 8v


Worst side, trim missing and rust on the rear quarter



Plans for the car are sort the rust (respray ideally) I will confess it will be going lower and wheels are undecided but its staying subtle.. Also new interior as the stitching is all split

Comments and criticisms welcome

Matt

Gti looks really nice.
Will look better with a cl splitter, the proper size tyres on the new RAs make such a difference!
Is there many VWs in Tring? I'm not far away in Leighton Buzzard

Nice.
I love a small bumper Mk2, proper old skool.

Get yourself a project thread or Dub Rides thread, there's not enough Mk2s in there!
