Cool, now show us some pics! and remember, old golfs dont die, they just rust and get lower!![]()
Exactly mate
Well up to now, I've found a nasty hole in the rear quarter that looked like a welded patch, but it was a piece of metal stuck down with silicone then painted over.. Why do people do this???
![](https://i193.photobucket.com/albums/z204/eeydubore/hof/IMG_1329.jpg)
So I decided to go for a true rat look, its cheap to do and cost effective and I havent seen a proper one in the UK, although as I'm a HUGE tight budget there probably will be one by the time mines done..
so first off, got hold of some cheap P Slot wheels, ok they are from a MK2, but look better untill i find some decent rims..
then a second hand lowering springs..
here's a few pics of that looking better

You're welcome to those springs any time - I'll be glad to see them go to a good home. A swift pint will seal the deal
