MK3 Golf GTi 8v Black UPDATED

3 months ago i brought a MK3 GTI, a car i have wanted since i started driving.


Still got my mk4 polo for running round when the golf has bad days

Its a standard 2.0 GTI 8v in Black with hella headlights and did have tinted windows all round with smoked chrome alloy wheels (to quote my father "It's a Drug Dealer's Car" Thanks Dad)

There were many problems with the car at first.

Boy Racer Induction kit.

(If i could kill the prevouis owner i would ram the chrome cone where the sun dont shine.)

Suspension.

Look like it was off an earlier Golf or off some other dub

Breather Pipe.

The pipe entering the engine was hanging off and following my dad back from newwark. it stalled everytime i slowed below 30 mph and the brakes/Power steering Died. The reason you always need a cable tie or two.

Tinted Windows

Drivng back after the sale got the attention of the south yorkshire police as i passed them doing 70 and tailed me for about 3 miles and later that night norfolk police, King's lynn bobbies pulled up and thought check the insurance and tinted window was tempted to ask them how many drug dealers in lynn drive blacked out golfs. Fast/Safe/Big : Ideal For Drug Dealers lol


Presently:

Have changed the suspension to standard springs and shocks, Have remove the chrome cone off and wanted some C4 to blow it hell and replaced it with a pipercross filter and didnt pay 40-90 pound for it 50p at a car boot. have changed the alloys to a set of TSW (spider-like) chunky and beefy look. Removed the black tinted windows thought were that it looked to boyracer and plus dont need police from norfolk, lincs, cambs and other counties pulling me every day i go to work.

Parts I have also fitted/fitting at the moment to the Golf:

Bonnet Struts
GTI Carbon Fibre Battery Cover
Angel Eyes and save the Hella Headlights for shows and meets
Blue Wire Tidy Tubing on loose wires
JVC CD player and rewired the whole ISO and Speakers
Handbrake/Gear knob rubber replaced with Cream and Black leather
4x poineer Speakers in the parcel shelf and boot lid
600w JBL Amp 4 Channel for poineer Speakers
2000w Twin FLI Subs 12" Box with 500w FLI Amp Built in.
Musical Horns
Intercom System with external speaker

saving the hella's for show and meets as they damage easily

vemons i love them as chunky boys and there is no way ill be able to break them

The rear bearing on the golf where just priceless took the rear disk off and found that the previous owner or to quote Boris-"oiks" as idoit for got the general basics about metal and forgot to gease it up and the only way to explain what happened to the thread and the bearing it was like welding the bearing to the threadand had to by a whole stub hub.

Anyone got any suggestion on what to do next?

Venoms rock angel eyes are pony but looks good

thanks i prefer funky than old school

has any one ever made an extended mk3?

You mean a limo mk3?



when i see you had venoms i was reeeeeeally hoping they was 4stud

similar use a mk3 5dr shell transform it in to a trailer/carevan and between the end of the gti to the front of the other golf use a rubber/plastic seal like a bendy bus

Can I ask what would you lot think to a mk3 golf being extended by 7-10ft??

using the rear light as trailer light

leaving my gti how it is and adding another mk3 to the back with a rubber/strong material between them like a bendy bus?? and convert the 2nd golf into a show caravan/trailer all in jet black.

the rear doors to open up for easier access

Converting the engine bay to a sercet place to put bags, tents, cooking stuff and maybe a fridge , converting the inside to put a double in.

Current Pics while sat at Trashed Chris's till Saturday









cant wait till I get her

good luck with this mate

Its a very "Clarkson" Project but when its finished should be about 27 ft long or in metric 8 1/2 metres long

not meaning this in a horrible way at all or anything, but why dont you put the effort and money that you would use for this extended thing, into your GTI and make it really nice?

thats what i thought

need the GTI for work and do over 2500 miles a month, cant lower it too much as I live in the Walpole and had 17"s on and rubbed through 4 tires within a few months. saving the venoms for shows got some engine tweaks and carpet the inside black and will show that you don't need to spend shed lots to do the extended golf.

Current costs for Golf extension:

Golf 1.4 5dr Grey(Collecting Saturday): £35 should have been £50 but selling gearbox for £15

20 Metre Black Cloth (Collecting Next Meet): £10
