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

[Oj 89]

Cheers mate. I know the feeling. Everything takes time you don't have As and when you can, there's no rush

 

[Brummy]

Ive got to take a couple of snaps of it anyway as the Ins Co. im with have asked for them to keep on record. might be something to do with it being a classic car ins. and them not wanting it to deviate too far from standard.

great news mate

I'd love to live in your road. Thanks

I still think the ibiza looks lower, apart from the front bumper of course Golf wins that easily... 2 very nice motors there Brum

It does look fun when my eldest pops up with his Bora slammed on the deck running Porsche twists . the neighbours are used to my car(s) being low now ,and the fact im forever changing rims etc

...I'm guessing you don't live in a 20mph zone? You'll have to get a pic of all three now, just to see them all together

Actually, you might be the man to ask... Stretch on Super Turismo's... Has it, can it be done? What do you think of the idea? If my ibiza stays, wheel refurbing + lowering is next on the to do list.

 

[Brummy]

never knowingly seen a Super T with stretch.. tbh, only Rims i had stretched tyres on are the cookies.. but they may be re rubbered due to the arches on the golf's being different to the ibiza

 

[Oj 89]

Hmmm, might be one for the list then I was only thinking a bit of stretch, 185's on (IIRC) a 7j wheel...? might be 6j. There wouldn't be any problems with that, would there? Just enough to get them in the arch

Keep up the good work

.

Ill see if I can get one at the weekend if hes not working and theres a fair few speedbumps around, but you just have to think ahead

Good news on the MOT pass. .

The Golf does look a very tidy car for the age of it. Look forward to seeing it progress.

 

[ather`s]

john, is the towbar staying? not sure if anyone has asked?

 

[Brummy]

Towbar is staying for the moment at least.. i may do a half golf bbq trailer for it

 

[Naz]

Saw this in the flesh last night, nice clean solid base to start with!

still losing sleep over the ideas lol?

look forward to progress and was nice finally meeting ya!

 

[betty_swollox]

What year is this Mk2 from mate?? It's looking really smart for its age

My cousin had a Mk2 Golf Gti when i was younger and I thought it was unreal, brings back memories!

I'll keep an eye out for this thread

 

[Brummy]

J plate (91) .. Ive always liked the Mk2 Golfs and this being in such good condition i couldnt refuse it.
got a few small ideas for it but there will be no major mods (at least for the forseeable )

 

[Cupra Kid]

I am gonna be watching this as I have the softest sport for MK2 Golfs and Polo's.

Who'd you end up insuring it with? I'm toying with classic policy options at the moment.

 

[Brummy]

Classic Policy with Footman James. Fully Comp. with add on's thrown in such as breakdown cover, anti carjack /road rage cover and European breakdown cover too so much cheaper than the cupra its unreal !

 

[gtikezz]

just been on there looks pritty good mate cheers

 

[Brummy]

altitude adjustment needed, may need to adjust the colour / brightness but its getting there
