Now i've bought my second mk2, afterall you do need more than one. I've had this one sice august this year.

It's a tornado red 2 door with a diesel engine. Turbo diesel intercooler that is...80hp! 333000km and almost rustfree.

Here she is, how I bought her:

New doorcatchpins, adjusted the doors:


New rear window in green glas with holes for the OEM spoiler, OEM spoiler fitted.
New OEM GTI sticker round the rear window



Changed the licenseplatlighting, fitted rubbers to hold the hood to the wings, replaced the clips on the watertray. And also changed the clips on the trunk inside cover.

Everything is back together and working again! Nice job to do before the winter.

I polished the car completly in several stages using menzerna polishes, finished it off with a coat or 2 of swissvax onyx

beaty shot some weeks ago:


hella stickers on the high beams:


Nevermind the coke bottle, it's just a catchtank for a tiny fuel leak. I need to replace the seals of the dieselpump


I replaced the plastic in the doors aswell...

I put the undertray under the car today, I'm still working on the mounts for the front.


Removed the headliner today, it fell apart in to 3 pieces.


Pretty broken:




Bezig met de dakhemel volledig te versterken met glasvezelmatten:



I'm repairing and reinforcing it with fiberglass:

Nice clean solid example, looks like you're getting stuck right into sorting the little bits and pieces out to. 

[Ice_ken]

current status, almost done fiberglassing, it's pretty rigid now.

[DubFan]

Nice work.
But what happened to the white GTI?

[Ice_ken]

I still have it, I just needed a daily for the winter. In the summer I use my motorcycle to get to work.

The gtd has been sitting still for 2 weeks so I cleaned it up, gave it a good wash and everything.

trying new products: AF iron out








this thing is almost finished, I pretty solid now, still have to do the inside and make the holes and then putt the leather on(darkish grey).
