mk2 golf - banded steelies update

my friends brother bought this 1.6 jetta from simpson slavage for £100. all it needed was a door. i wish id got my hands on it before him, maybe it wouldnt have looked like this




after a few months of nagging, i finally managed to get him to sell me it for £400. to add to the chav stuff that was on it anyway i stuck a massive exhaust on. it did sound awesome though.

the 16" alloys that was on it were pretty wide and one of the front springs was a bit fooked so the arch chomped away at the tyre, so steelies went on the front, i got rid of the spoiler, tint sprayed the rear lights and i got rid of the sun strip




after a year of owning it and finding out you can shoot 4 foot flames out of a carb'd car with straight through exhaust, the jetta unfortunatly died!!

i was on the look out for another car when i heard about a mk2 golf that had broken down in a petrol station. i went to go see it, got the keys off the guy and it started straight away

i didnt particularly like the colour when i bought it, but for £160 who can complain. it came with 17" BMW alpina replicas that i sold pretty much straight away. the drove really well, apart from needing a new clutch





before the 17s went i tried them on my jetta just to see how it looked




fecking awesome IMO. shame i treated the jetta so badly

and then i stripped the jetta of all the bits i wanted to keep/sell and gave the jetta to a scrapyard to be crushed




the exhaust was held on by string because i tried getting it off but it wouldnt come off so i had to hold it back up with string to save it from scraping along the floor

i put the golf on some steelies until i could afford some alloys, and modified the rear wiper so it layed flat.



for shits and giggles i decided to try the black bonnet from the jetta and put it on my golf. i also took the thick door mouldings off the golf and added the thin door mouldings that was on the jetta. i also started putting the plastic arches on.




my mate owns a sign business so i got the bonnet checkerd for £15



new wheels! my friend told me about an audi they had just got which had some decent wheels on so i went to go have a look. i swapped the audi wheels with the 16s that i had on my jetta. got a couple more of the plastic arches on and i attacked my lights with tint spray to get rid of some nasty orange!!




then came VW festival. all the arches and skirts were on, badgeless grill and new rear lights.





at the hull multistory carpark show on the f-n-m stand



i discovered back to black at demonvw summer nights

a new cd player and fibreglass boot build





there is also a power cap in there aswell now

then came a bad month last year when my cd player was stolen and i had a little accident involving a roundabout and an embankment which resulted in some of my plastic arches being ripped off which is why theyre missing on this pic at a rotherham cruise



ive put the arches back on. im just searching for a side skirt

a couple of weeks ago, rust got the better of my exhaust and it broke in 2. half dragging along the floor making pretty sparks whilst waking up half of goole with the noise

booked my car in to get my GTi exhaust put on



took a couple of other photos aswell








ive got german plates on my car now aswell, i just havnt taken any photos yet


plans:
single wiper
crystal smoked headlights + front indicators
new cd player
either 60mm drop or coilovers (havnt decided yet)
possibly GTi interior

very nice mate got any plans for the future.

looks good

not seen that colour b4 (that i can remember anyway)

2 new rear shockers, a bottom arm, 4 new eagle f1 tyres german plates and a new addition to the bonnet (temporary to see how it looked) and a power cap in the boot
