hi mate looks pretty nice.
i've not long sold my escort rs turbo after many years of also having classic fords as second cars.
i also fancied a change and purchased a mk2 golf off a friend this yearto tinker with in my spare time.

hello fella, yea ford scene is good but a tad expensive now! been looking at vws for a while, golfs and sciroccos, like ur golf looks tidy, had a few hours on it today changed the front pads and gave the inside a good clean,,weather got the better of me in the end!, bit more tinkering to come over xmas

yeh it's not to bad.
bought it off a chap i used to work with many years ago at a ford dealership.
he's a panel beater and he tidied it up/painted it ford radiant red and panther black.
inside needs a little bit of tlc over the next few months and i'll be using it as much as possibe when the weather picks up.
like the wheels on your's they look really good.....

spent a few hours cleaning the interior today, removed the back seat looking for any old bits of history
paperwork car park tickets etc,,,,and found nothing!



put away now until after xmas, a few work related problems so all on hold now until mid january hopefully

Hydraulic tappets can be a bit noisy until warm up, I use this on my DX cars happily enough. www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_203145_langId_-1_categoryId_255221
