Thread: new beginnings...

    new beginnings...

    decided it was unfair to daily my mk2 golf

    through our winter(350mpweek commute on salt ridden roads fml)and had the oppo of a vr mk3 golf(I know im getting to the point).t was cheap status with new coils,mulberry highline although it ran a colour concept BLUE interior????this was among the least of its faults but the wooooooom had me locked in. It was de-catted filtered and had the noise and all the detributes that made it a good possible future donor car....but I had no pennies so I said 'yes,ill take it but I need to sell mine first...' duly put mine up for cheaps and sold it within 4 days to then text the guy to find out he'd sold it ....cue emergency car hunt and I came up with this...

    135k(miles)coupe...




    seats have faired well




    came fitted with these randoms


    and a small comfortable bonus


    also came supplied with koni adjustables,K&N,middle silencer delete(blowing..along with suitcase at either end)abs fault and several knocks on the shell(sill,rhs C-pillar/swage,lhs rear quarter)and plenty of stone chips



    ohhhh,and this


    plans are varied and ever changing but picked up boxster S ph II rims and sourced loaner adaptors so appearing soon probably so I can pull the original wheels off for a refurb

    I really had to Running it through winter would have destroyed it with the miles I do and I felt bad about that. Not long home tonight and just sorted out a deal to swap the rado's koni adjustables(shock adj.) for FK highsport silverlines,spent a day or so during the week tidying up a set of phase II boxter S twists I picked up before I sent them for powdercoat,lined up a few drilled and linered hockey pucks and am currently on the hunt for a 2nd hand R32 half height sump with a new pick up. Also going to sort out the ghetto centre box delete and remove the thrice fixed suitcase second box from the system during the week

    that and fit my jobs in somewhere

    future plans DO NOT amount to much though,I have no intention of painting the shell(which it needs)just going to have fun while the tags last,fit the boxsters,then these at some point
    ....(searchin pbuckets)

    Its a proven track record lmao,If anything I may get the mot(tags)renewed and run it another year as it is fairly solid its just the shell thats a bit banged up round the edges. Theres just something in my head about taking the vr from this coupe and putting it in my mk1 coupe

    friend got a boxster S and upgraded to 19's,ummed and aaaah'd a biit but picked them up from him,stripped them,prepped them and got them coated in 'crude' black

    obviously still to ditch the koni adjustables and fit the new coils....

    tried the bentleys on as well
