Will do fella 2moz ill take some at work. If you look in the cars for sale section its in the thread mk2 and 3 golfs for sale. Its red with a chalk board bonnet and lime green steels

So after abit of tingering me and the chaps at work got the golf up and running. As soon as the funds are in the bank or the ps3 sells i need to replace the radiator, fan, thermostat and its housing then it will be time to play.

Can someone tell me how to upload pics please

sign up on photobucket. upload the pics onto there, then copy the IMG link and paste it into your post

Cheers fella. I will upload some pics later when i have them on phototbucket

Erm well if it works heres a pic

Your pics havent worked mate.. Need to hover your mouse over the thumbnail pic in your album and then copy/paste the code with the 'img' next to it

Should then come up like this..



Looks pretty clean anyway good start

I have the odd mk2 part laying around from when i had one so if you need any little bits then let me know.

Yes tow is coming strait off, im going to spray the wheels black and have them as winter wheels. I want some pirelli p slots and my day to day wheels
And with the bonnet i hate it. Im thinking about having it sprayed gloss black. But i might get it done red not too sure yet. But im getting there with my first project

and the exhaust

Exhaust is staying for the mo mate. Needs taking off and cutting about 3 inches shorter as it sticks out too far and its having a strait through middle section as its not loud enuff for me.

Sorry about the spelling

dont keep the exhuast get rid of it and def dont make it louder, will make it chavy. get a red bonnet from scrap yard or someone who is breaking one will be cheaper.

Im thinking that. But its going to be very time consuming for me and i will have to take along time to get the chalkboard s**t stuff off of it or is there an easy way to take it all off?

on my old mk2, i replaced the center box with a straight through pipe and kept the original back box and it sound pretty good at high revs and not chavy at all

Yer its got an aftermarket back box with a stantard middle so im just gunna chop that out and put a strait pipe on it

Been having a really hard think today about what i want to do with the golf. Do i take it euro style? Track? I think a mix of both would be cool. But then i also thort about turning it into a van with no rear seats a fence up behind my seat, solid rear windows and such as ive never seen a mk2 golf van. Whats your opions? Open to all

I think it'd be a first...



Make your car into something YOU'D like to see everyday.

Now that is nice. I would love that tbh but it would have to be low
