    Its a Disease... a big red one

    So it happened again,

    Basically found this, dude got it in a deal, dude did not want, and i got it.

    Mars red, 120k on the clock (apparently)
    shiny as farrrk and not even polished or washed since i got it.
    Engine was tierd so the one from other red golf is in it now.
    Copper radiator
    rebuilt 1600
    clean interior
    redone dash
    stock everything else, and a tow bar

    Bad points,
    wiring was a mess, switch on dash to turn reverse lights on, headlights relayed with speaker wire... bad bad bad
    drivers rear wheel is hard to turn, think handbrake is seized on.

    Anyway this will be the new one to fix and drive as its not far from it. was all complete and running when i got it minus wiring being shotty.

    Plans are to get running over this weekend, go over everything and make sure itll pass a RWC.
    chuck my coils in and drive.... slowly

    Looks like a good one. With a bit of work you will get it back on the road. Well worth effort!

    No idea on the wheels, all i know is they not part of the deal and he wont part with them for a ridiculous price lol

    As for wheels for now im not sure, got some but ugly ones i may use, would love to use the hotwires but the rears are too "hellaflushhokeypokey" to fit in standard guards.
