Hello again guys!
Yes, I am back with another (hopefully more interesting) retro rides, reader's rides, build thread!
After deciding I can't hack the crappy 1.0 corsa shed, this little beauty came up for sale, right on payday! (Now there's a recipe for disaster)
those were the pics from the eBay ad,
It's a completely bogo standard 1990 mk2 golf 1.8 gl, absolutely no mod-cons, just the way I like it!
It's not too slow! In comparison to my 998cc Bedford rascal death-trap, my 1.0 Nissan micrap and the woeful 1.0 corsa b, it goes like stink!
here is the obligatory petrol station pic!...
note the 13" vw steels, in place of the bbs wheels,
the guy wanted and extra 200 quid for the wheels, so seeing as I have a perfectly good set of ats classics in the garage, I thought I'll plonk them on in good time!
The plans are rather straightforward,
Get the classics painted
Buy a stainless exhaust system,
Buy some twin 45 carbs,
sort out the slight rusting around the windscreen,
Slam the thing on it's ar$ e!
And then finally, sit back and enjoy the thing!
Cheers for looking guys!
As always, all comments are welcome
