My MK2 - yes a MK2 -

Yes I know its a mk2, but untill the passat is fixed its my daily and also my cruising and abusing car so had to sort it out a little….

I've always fanciedhaving one of all mk's of golfs, but i found the 3 'to new' for me so stayingto 1's and 2's lol

Anyway This is Jenjy

He's a GTD thats covered 170+k now and still going strong..

he's got a few issues, like heater - no control over which vent its coming out of, but it gets, hot, very hot…
Rev counter is tempremental
Exhaust blowing a little (sounds raspy tho)

Plus sides,
He's better than my mk3 i swapped him for
now i've got it working, has a great stereo
Drives really nice, handles well


This was the pictures of jenjy from the previous owner…




He then did this to him!!

I got him minus the Ra's, looking a little sorry for himself on some mk3 driver alloys -


 



so i sourced some RA's cheaply - bit tatty and decided i wanted a red oxide car, always wanted another since my old red oxide bay windo years n years ago..

So i started…

anyway, with today being such a nice and mehaving a day off work, I decided to get stuck in….

So out came the rattle cans, i stripped down as much as i could and got busy, quite pleased with the results, first time I'v ever rattled a whole car in the open on a driveway before..

So here he is now!!!!

all i need now is to fit my GL chin spoiler, fit the coilovers when they arrive and get up to GTI Spring fest…..

The checkered roof was  kit i bought through ebay last year for my mk1, but never got round to it, it fitted so on it went, that was a pain to sort, got a few air bubbles, but oh well!!!

Love the colour coded handles may do it to mine.

looks  good though, how did you apply the paint? did that say aerosol cans?

if so how many did it take?

i wanna take this approach with mine. (just to run her for a year till i'm 100% happy)

Looks awesome mate, you did a really good job, the checked roof looks good too  :y:

getting the paint to stick was a nightmare.. had to really sand back the chrome to get it to adhere to it, should have really gone out and bought some etch primer, but its just my daily…

yes mate, all done with aerosols..

I used 12, but probably coudl have done it in less if i wasnt doing it on the drive in the wind.. lol

you don't hang about do ya!

nice work my friend, love the roof and door handle detail, and the iron cross on the mirror

ash

Nice one

That's a much better spray job than the supposedly professional one on my 924 (will get some pics up at some point)…

I so want it to go lower too…        

hasaround 30mm more we reckon, but then where do you draw the line, after all its my daily

You wanna sell me those bumpers Lawsy

erm… no

somewhere round this height mate

(dont do it it was horrible to drive)

from looking at the wheels sizes I'd say I'm lower, small bumpers on mine stop it looking as low, but look at the took on the rear arches, they about the same level, but I'm running 195/45 tyres and no bodykit..

Its not a bad drive either

steve not sure if its been pointed out but its a mk2 what have you done man :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:  :mrgreen:

Looks good with the drop, don't go too low with it.
