Following on from the previous thread Mat made lol...however I felt abit messed about by that guy...So i went down yesterday to Loughborough with Mat and Tom to look at another GTi...then bought it this morning!

Mk2 Golf GTi 16v on 103k and all picked up for a bargain I'd say!

Only got a few pics at the moment, Ill get some more soon:

Very chuffed with it!

And apologies for the poor camera phone pics!

Really nice golf you've picked up there Chris. I've seen quite a few mk2 Golf's and this definately has the potential to look great. Bet you cant wait for the warmer weather to come round now so you can clean that engine bay!

P.S, Cheers for the HID's and green cotton panel filter. Am uploading the pics of the HID's as i type. They look awesome, just need to sort the sidelights out now!

Nice one Chris

Mat, it might be getting a nice road trip next year all being well

Definantly Tom, Wouldn't mind some leathers in there by then!

Forgot to mention its Helious Blue (Pretty rare colour I do believe) got stacks of history with it (no service book though

) and discovered it's had a cambelt change @ 66k, new clutch @ 72k etc and seems to have properly been looked after in the past! Had a good blast out in it today and it's certainly pulling well

P.s no worries about the HIDs and green panel mate! And cheers for the help at looking at the car

Dare I say it, but it looks nicer than the other one. I think it does. It has a lot more potential as well, for you to add your own touches. I love Helios Blue too, I'd love a late Scirocco Scala Injection in the same colour.

It's begging for some RA's though. Buy mine

Cheers

Yeah very pleased with it! My plans so far for it are to just sort some things out such as a good service, change some exhaust rubbers and could do with some new tyres soon so im just going to get some new wheels instead of doing that!

Ideally looking for some Nice BBS' or G60 steelies and on the lookout

Overall, I've got some big plans for it, but it will take some time! Hopefully will be looking very sweet by summer!

nice clean example, no rust I take it? that's rare in itself!

original alloys?

olop_chris · Post by **olop_chris** » Mon Dec 17, 2007 12:26 am

Nope not really, a little bit on the fuel filler neck!

The wheels are off a Scirocco apparently! they aint too bad really!

G60 steels will suit it down to the ground
