New MK2 8v GTI Owner
« on: 16 September 2008, 20:50 »
Evening all,

I thought I should drop in and say hello to you all as I think I am going to be needing your help with my new project over the coming months  :smiley:

Nearly a week ago I picked up my first MK2, it's an 91 8v in need a of fair bit of TLC and couple of minor mechnical and electrical issues.

Here's a quick pic



Not 100% sure what to do with it but, probably going to stay OEM (ish) with some BBS RA's and a drop on the suspension to start with.

Thanks.  :smiley:

It's pretty solid but does have some rust on both rear arches and on the tail gate, so these are the first jobs to tackle.
