My Mk3 Golf Gti 8V
« on: 24 May 2008, 21:17 »
Always had Vauxhalls or Fords to be honest but whilst looking for a car got offered this 1996 8V Gti with a genuine 55k from new with full vag history but needing a clutch cable and a clean.



Next step, cleaned and polished, rear wiper and spoiler removed, black vw badges, red gti badge, vr6 lower spoiler, new plates and replaced the mirrors as damaged.






New wheels next, took ages to find the ones I wanted as no longer made.



As she is at the moment with hotuning coilovers fitted plus another set of number plates, cannot drop it any further as need to get over speed bumps where I live.



Future plans are Vento front end conversion. different rear lights and maybe a leather interior.

Let me know what you think, I know it is not the most modified one around but I am well happy with it.

Update: have been looking at getting the roof resprayed due to some marks but came up with a cheaper option, after a few photoshops and speaking to the signwriter come up with a plan so had this done a few days ago, I like it but know that some people won't.



I had a spare afternoon today so gave it a quick clean plus took the rear coilovers done another 10threads plus the front by about 3threads, went for a drive tonight and did a few more shots.







Let me know what you think.

Over the last week and a bit have done the following, cut and grind back both rear arches plus seal and paint as required, refit all the bodykit including the sideskirts, CL / base model full plastic bumpers, smoked front inds plus self tinted fogs.

Today I fitted a red strip in the bumper plus side mouldings, cleaned and polished, went for a drive and took yet more pictures.
