1989 mK2 Golf - my heap.

[billybug]

this is my daily mk2 golf, I know its not everyones cup of tea but I love it.

bought this back in october after I had sell my 64' beetle which I loved! The golf was just ment to be a low daily driver, but I got a tad carried away with lowering it, and then decided it would be cool raw metaled









went to devon the other week, over 600 mile round trip and not one problem

Pretty cool boss. Do you get much stick for it, or do people tend to like it?

[regcheeseman]

[donttellhimpike]

abit of both really, there was a thread started by someone on one forum which was clubgti and had nothing but pure abuse saying how deadly and dangerous it was haha, but most forums its mixed. i get alot of odd looks when driving about, its like marmite you either hate it or love it

yea it was taken at woolacombe, nope i don't think so, my brother might have done he was tehre too in a slammed mk3 golf

[nugget]

I quite like er boss. See for the orange lights, get normal bulbs but put Lucozade wrappers against the lens, orange AND ratty

[piperfish]

Fantastic.... ;D ;D
kin hate Marmite though.....

[montanna]

I like that a lot! did you just sand off all the paint? Must have looked like a whole car of brushed stainless for a while!

[luckygti]

Yep, I'm a little surprised, but I like it. How long will it last like that before it starts disintegrating?

[Robinxr4i]

Some would call it "try hard", but I would call it "F**KIN COOL!"

I've always played with the idea of doing a total rust car, but always fluked out ghey!

Loving the stance, the rear camber is nuts ;D

[regcheeseman]

parked on a North Devon campsite near the sea......about 3 days

It probably had mint paint when it arrived at the campsite, bit o wind, bit o sand, bit o salt - job done.

[billybug]

thanks for the good feed back probly the best feed back ive ever had on a forum.

well my brother raw metaled his wing on his beetle and it still hasnt rotted through and he done that about 2 years ago now, and beetle wings arnt exactly thick, so it should last a while. but obviously if i was near the sea it wouldnt exsist.

got some more pictures

when i first lowered it on coilies




then looked like this for a while













some rolling shots caming back from UltimateDubs

[Littlepixel]

It looks like you breathed life back into a joyridden/burnt-out moss-side special. I love it!

[Colonelk]

i like it, but is it just me or do the fronts have positive camber and the rears negative? Just looks a bit ill to my eyes, but it may just be the pics
