Brummy's MkII Golf...Retro fun...

[jenk]

Cool, should be nice and easy if everything un-does.

Its gonna look sweet decked on the cookies!

 

[Brummy]

ill be up early (ish) and give it a blast over with oil, then have a cuppa or two and then give it some persuading may have to play about a bit with the cookie as ive got 15 mm adapters so may end up having to get some wider ones.

Any news on the coilies ?!?

I can hear some foul language in the distance from the otherside of Brum, could be to do with coilovers

 

[Brummy]

Coilies on. lowered, checked , re-lowered checked driven checked levelled checked .

*also done rear wiper mod


old sussy's..

reason they HAD to be changed..

And it actually sits lower than the Ibiza

no swear words, just a couple of bashed fingers/knuckles and im now filthy oily and drinking my first coffee since 10.00 this morning.

 

[Brummy]

Oh, and i know its still on the halfords specials rims but rimmage will be sorted soon, im thinking Mim ?
or do i roll the Borbet A's back? the Cookies will be the going out shoes

 

[Hartosh1]

I like it! Its amazing what 1 mod can do to the look of the car, i reckon the cookies will look good mate

 

[cupra.al]

definatly the orange wheels there good to look at even if there off the car and regardless of the colour.

 

[Damoegan]

It has to be Borbet A's, Jon

 

[Brummy]

lol.. tbh, im seriously considering keeping both the Mims AND the Borbets. The cookies of course will be the going out shoes, the A's may be polished up again on the lips and used occasionally and the Mims can be the workboots getting used /abused as the daily runabouts .
then again, I may end up getting some entirely different rims, you know what im like... but first, its the mot. got a feeling i may need a bit of work doing so hoping to pop into my mates first to get the once over and see what he reckons

 

[jenk]

Get the Mims on, you know it makes sense

 

[Brummy]

Mot booked for next weds .
Once we pass that hurdle , its deciding on rims, sticking some sounds in and chillin'

 

[Oj 89]

and chillin'

All I got was white noise up until this point

 

[gtikezz]

looks tidy john looking forward to seeing where it goes from here

 

[Brummy]

Cheers Kezz, once its through its mot, I can start getting things done properly on/with it, first thing is a bloody good wash and polish when this weather allows, along with the rims and music sorted

haha liking the plans mate
Thats the next thing on the list for stu's the dreaded mot

 

[Brummy]

tbh, im half expecting a fail on something, hence me keeping hold of the 'biza untill the goof is sorted

 

[Brummy]

Pr0jeKt Pasadena goes live!

MOT pass with flying colours
tester even commented on how tidy and well looked after it is for a twenty year old car

*he did also comment on the lows, but thats another story (seeing as its sat 30mm lower than the ibiza at the moment )

thats very good news! The golf doesnt look THAT low, but then that could be the body being 'less built' near the ground, unlike the ibiza... Got any photos to compare their current stances?

 

[Brummy]

Ill try grabbing a few later, camera needs charging for one.. plus im gonna be in/out during day.. loads to do / sort out (only trouble when you get days off in the week sometimmes it all just has to be done or it never gets done.
