    My 1984 MK2 GTi

    Thought it would be time to put up a thread on my GTi.

    As most of you know, I imported this when I got back from the UK, thus denying the UK of one of the earliest MK2 GTi's (First reg was 7/84).

    It started life in someones hands as a decent car, then proceeded to get more and more chavved up till it got sold to me in December last yr.

    This was how she looked:





    From there she underwent a transformation. From Chav mobile to something that would be proud to wear the GTi Badge!

    First up, some 16" Racing Dynamics wheels









    Then a Rainbow interior:


    Then came a 280mm Brake upgrade: (Not 256.. my bad!)

    Time went by until I found someone selling a de textured big bumper kit-F?R Bumpers, arches, side skirts and rear spoiler for 500 GBP-Could have got doors with poppers for another 200 quid, but they weren't really my style.







    Then I lost the stripe around the grill and got a black badge:


    Tried some 15"BMW E30 rims:



    Final mod was to get the centre console cut out for a stereo and some VDO gauges along with a Corrado interior:





    Only problem I have now is, i sit Waaaay too low in the car.. great for track days, but crap for town driving! BUT the seats are 1000% more comfortable than the crappy rainbow seats. If I could find a company that does a folding base for an aftermarket bucket seat, I'd go that route.

    Now it sits on my driveway, looking a bit worse for wear after the dust storm, and haven't touched it until I can get an assessor out to quote for the damages.

    Stay tuned, more to come!!!

    Very nice car mate. Looks good with the smooth bumpers.

    It's even older than mine!! I've got an 84 GT, but it's a B-reg.

    Good luck with it and living in Oz!

    There are few things more satisfying in life than finding a solution to a problem and implementing it
