Something good came out of something bad
« on: 13 December 2006, 11:21 »
Some muppet decided to plough in to the back of my mk2 16v on the motorway 3 weeks ago and wrote it off.
After suffering with neck, shoulder and back pain i decided i wanted to go back to a mk1 again!
So after a week of hunting i found this mint little beauty







Its an E-Reg GTI Helios blue cab.  Its has done a genuine 77k miles and drives extremely well.

I'd say it's lowered about 40mm at a guess. It looks a similar height to mine now, not the pic in my sig as it hadn't been lowered then.
