i think your right buddy bout them being 993 ones cant decied colour for them white or black cars white decisions decisions lol every 1 shud have a mk1 or mk2 golf

Think either would work mate, black will really stand out, but would still notice them in white, its a nice subtle mod!

Sounds like the mk2 needs some serious fettling Rash! Be worth it though mate just think about the end result!

 

[rashcupra]

what of my empty wallet!!!!!

 

[dozza.13]

wallet may be empty mate, but u will end up with one of the mintest mk2's about! Will put a smile on ur face when loads of people tell you how good it looks at shows!

 

[rashcupra]

spose

Looking good mate. front end is really tidy. I think the manifold polished would really set the engine bay off. But its completely up to you

 

[rashcupra]

na staying standard will be worth more in a fewyears that way

got anouther more exsperienced pannel beater coming round beginning of next week said he has all the compressors welding kit and all the tools ect and will do it for a few takeaways then ive taken time offin november to get her resprayedso hope to still have it finished buy january!

but haventtouched her for a few days as ive got nothing else to do on exterior and dont have enough space to rip the interior apart aswell so am at a holt but no rush hey!

got some jap style golf handles for her throu today and a lower bumper spoiler so will get pics up of them tomorrownight

just read thorugh the thread, and the car seems to be coming on nicely. have got a soft spot for mk2 and mk1 golfs. wud like to own a mk1 golf gti in a few years as a 2nd car and clean her up like your doing

my mate has got a mk2 golf gti, but his is the 8v version. is alright, but im not quite sure what he was thinking with some of the mods...bike can! he has fully striped the interior and put a rear strut brace on it. has got a welded race seat and 4-point harness, racing manifold, bike can (dont know why!), back alloys with a chrome lip, and the car drinks more oil than an alcholic drinks beer in a free bar!

he has also got a super charger to put on it...eventually. will be pretty sweet when its all done though

 

[rashcupra]

not keen on the exhaust, stickers or the sunstrip but the rest looks good

 

[rashcupra]

here are a few quick photos to give a VERY rough idea of what it will look like still at a holt with this project till the car gets pannel work sorted next week!

heres the new handle nex to old
