  • Mk2 Golf GTI 16v - New Rims

    Postby VR6 » Tue Jul 17, 2012 9:31 pm

    Sort of a work in progress I guess. But standard is the name of the game!

    Bought around a month ago. New clutch in. Body shop booked for a tiny patch of rust on the driver door and the blank wiper hole. New windscreen ordered as well.

    To do:

    Standard parcel shelf
    Recaros, cloth (hopefully at some point)
    Sort out low reading on the water temp - could be thermostat or blue temp sender

    Ok seeing as though Daz from DC detailed the Golf last week, I thought it would be a good time for a quick update.

    Cheers Mr 83G.

    And Tim of course. I feel a bit like I've gone behind your back by having someone else work on my cars :( hehe

    Daz is a good guy though and a genuine car nut. I actually think he likes the Mk2 almost as much, if not more, than I do! :D

    Some new rims for winter.

    Should have gone an inch wider on the back .. so might add some spacers to fill the arches a tad more.

    Don't know why Photobucket has taken a dislike to one photo!
