I Got Another Golf!!

[Dub_Dude_16v]

Hi peeps! 

Gone and bought another MK 2 Golf today  Was fed up with the constant filling up of the 16v so i bought a daily driver to replace my 1.3 (which also guzzles petrol).
Bought a B reg 1985 1.6 DIESEL  Only 55,000 miles on the clock. Not powerful but will do up 70 mpg! 

Here's a pic



What ya think?

Nice, i am after a 1.9TDI over summer, it's the way to go tbh, i mean petrol is going to silly prices.

Audi, VW, Skoda, are the flavours of choice.

looks mint  

good find mate

Thanks guys 

Got a few plans for it to make it more my cuppa tea. Small bumpers with the chrome trim, clear front indicators (on order), gti bottom front spoiler, G60 steelies (if i can find any  ), coilovers.  Anyone ever fitted a sports back box to a diesel?

Looks nice, any rust?, love the colour. how much did it cost you?

your plans are basically the same as i want... Where are you going to get the bumpers from?

Cheers Tanks!

Yeah the picture makes it look so perfect. It's in very good nick but has got the odd rust sport here and there and laquer pealing off on the bonnet. Apart from that though it's pukka! Paid £550.

You can get the bumpers from German & Swedish (www.gsfcarparts.com). Part numbers, Front = 81350 and Rear = 81440

I must admit I am tempted by a diesel myself, thinking mark 2 or mark 3 tdi.

But I have two cars to get rid of first, or at least one.

Looks very tidy by the way, an ebay purchase was it?

[Dub_Dude_16v]

Neaty mate they are blinding cars! They just don't use fuel  370 miles so far and still half a tank left. B@@dy wicked.  but it sounds like an old London Taxi 

Nah wasn't an ebay one, never used ebay to be honest.

Got it off a friend in the Herts VW Club. I would recommend them but they seem to be a rare sight the Mk 2 diesel. Maybe that's just down her in Herts.

ha ha, sounds good  then! 

I think I might get one but thats just for the sake of getting another car, i would be tempted. But if i get this new job its only round the corner from my house So i can walk to work and save money that way.

Yea they do seem to be quite rare, is yours the turbo diesel?
I was looking at one on ebay that the guy wanted £400 for it and it had done 245,000 miles!! sod that!

I have been looking at them, just didnt know about them being grey.  want them black, is it as simple as just spraying them black.. wasnt sure, if so i will order them on pay day.

Cheers
