time to get stuck in! ABF and ZX9R for the win

i picked this up at the weekend, its soon to be my new daily, its a 1.6 driver, with 140k on the clocks!

hears the pick from the add




when i got it home i removed all the stickers and got cleaning


the next job was to wave good bye to the chav pipe





i then cleaned out the arches and painted the rear drums







i have striped the front because the front valance is rusty






changed my wheel


i was going to save my 928s for my t25 but think they look quite good on the golf what do you think?

Looks quite a clean example m8, 928s would finish it off nicely, but fully polished wheels daily is a ballache

i like the old wheels

looks good 928's are niceeeee, who polished them if i could ask?

Had a play with the wheels to day just for you max

i have tryed my 8j at the back and at the front, as i have been offed 2, 8j rims cheap, but think im going to keep the stagard 7j front 8j rear. as i think the 8j is to much poke at the front, i want the front silghtly tucked!

hears what they look like on






as you say max arch gap is for wossies!! my rear tyer is very close to my arch!!

I say 8s alround m8. i hate how 7s are a flat face and the 8s are slightly dished, just doesnt look right imo.

That looks awesome liam, well done. Bringing it to the next meet?
