My Golf Mk2

Looks better ... I think the car was depressed under Martyn's ownership Looks much happier with you. Right, that's enough shit stirring I think ha, keep posting pics






...oh, and get the bonnet sprayed the original colour. I like the colour, and from the shots it's in pretty good nick!!

been out today and fiddled a little bit

then i played with my car lol!!

fitted the Gti Interior, so now all thats in







then i de wipered it





Delocked the passenger side doorhandle, thanks to the suggestion from anthony



Then took a few pics, mates mk4











and a rolling shot i robbed from martins fb

is tht the grill i sold to you ?


its looks shit hot

yeh it is pal.
imo in looks 10000x times better in the flesh lol

just cant seem to find the right angles to make it look decent in the camera shots if u know wha i mean!

all good tho, its progressin nicely and cheaply =]


also picked up a set of corrado front seats today thanks to dubber dude!

they will be going in tmoz, and ill be fixing the rear top mount, next stage then is sound!

need to get some speakers in there desperate, i have ones in my other car im gna throw in there

need to sell my civic aswell!

what engines in the civic?

ye i quite liked those lights nd grill lol


iv gt a corrado rear bench in my car now 2 buket seats with arm rst styled ones, but i gt set of golf mk3 recaro interior full but i cant get them till i sell the rear bench and the door cards

My god mate! Well done. The car looks soo much better under your ownership! fairplay! And I'm liking the interior, must come for a gander when I get my radio sorted over at yours! And I like those black alloys in the last pics, they look really nice on it. Get 90's spec big bumpers, and get the bonnet sorted, it'd look The Balls then I reckon! Do iiit!

cheers for the comments

i dno, i think it needs to sit lower lol!

not to keen on the big bumpers, well tbh i never seen one in the flesh

been out there most of yesterday changing the rear shoes/handbrake cables/cylinders =]

now i should have a decent bar, as the rear brakes only just passed MOT

thing is, i ordered the two brake cables for the back, one is right, and the other is wrong :s both got the same part number on em tho so fuck knos whats goin on there, will have to run em back to CES and swap it for a right one,
also, somebody has done a shanty town job on putting the cylinders back on, so on the drivers side, the two little bolts that bolt through the back plate have all rounded off

so when i change it, im gna have to get some grinding gear out or something to sort it, but will be there soon enough lol!

ive sorta ran outta things to do to it now pretty much how i want it

maybe jus a change of scenery on the wheels but im not to sure lol

i was under the impression the cables were the same length therefore same partnumber - what leads you to think one is the wrong parts

ai the cables are the same length, and they aint sided,

on the one that fits it has a threaded bar at one end, that goes in the car, and is used for adjusting
other end is like a long spring that then sits inside the drum and connects to the shoe


on the one that is marked right part number but wrong cable it has like a pushbike style brake cable connector at one end and then something similar at the other end, its near enough the same length as the right one, the ends r different

good old ces...... obviously play on the fact you had to go back and try get something for free such as screenwash lmao

lmao, of course i will!

missus hates takin me shoppin :L i always try and blag summat free or get it cheaper

best thing is, it works most the time too! im gna try and blag myself the front brakes :L

hey made up to see this still on the road.it was my mate detso's. he bought it as a standard mint example about 4 years ago. the pass side door pillar had been vandalised/damaged and it was repaired at c&k aoutos in bryngwran. he then bought -80mm springs and a set of 15" mini one alloys.in my opinion it was a lovely car car like this, it went downhill from there when he rusted the bonnet, and got a custom 6 pipe side exit exhaust system. he also fitted corrado seats and polybushed the rear axle. every bump and scrape on the body of that car has a legendary story behind it! haha he still has the original bonnet in his garage by the way! ive had some good times in this car and am glad it lives on! keep it up
