mk2 golf dt 16v project on the way!

[rashcupra]

this is my new project

im planning to strip the car to the shell and replace all disscoloured broken moldings and window seals ect get all the wheels refurbed, new tyres sort out all the paintwork smooth the rear wiper and badge also have a mental clean inside shampoo the seats and take the floor carpet out and shampoo it, g60 arches big bumpers (front and rear)colour coded mouldings, remove the full beam lamps and debadge grill slamm it on the floor cyristal clear cross hair front lamps, clear indicators side repeaters

then maybe engine convertion not sure
or
clean engine up to the max and tuck away in the garage or maybe a second car run around

has loads of spares with it aswell so might get back some more money too of the main price

what do you think?

Awesome choice of project mate, mk2's can look so sweet, hardly have to do anything to em to make em look really nice! Single light conversion would look nice, get the door handles off it, or mayb sum audi 1's?? Would look awesome slammed on the deck with deep dish 15's, proper euro style! Then mayb a 1.8T motor, or vr6 lump lol!!

cant wait toget my hands on it first thing is to get the bumpers on and painted and lower her to the MAX! loads of pictures and before after pics to come this does mean the seat will have no more mods

 

[Fl@pper]

if you are stripping the shell why not go for a smooth look ?

saves a fortune on new parts and mouldings and looks more updated too

 

[rashcupra]

i will be will have the holes smoothed over from the mouldings but i ment new mouldings as in window scraper mouldings. makes a huge diffrence renewing window seals window mouldings ect gives it a really clean mint look

 

[Fl@pper]

ye couldn't agree more - looks so much sweeter

 

[rashcupra]

should be able to get cheap genuine parts from work

going to buy g60 arches 1/4 glass seals n/s @ o/s tailgate window seal, drivers and passenger window scraper mouldings and tailgate black out vinal for now all the door mouldings ect will be plastic dyed back to black till i get it stripped for respray

also will be smoothing off rear wiper arm and n/s wiper arm on the front also aerial will be smothed fins in the front wings smooth the bonnet

just see how it goes i spose

a few of my mates have the mk2 golf gti's really do like them............prefer the mk1 gti's though.

one of my mates has put a g60 engine in his golf, should be getting it back in a week hopefully!! not 100% sure what he has had done but have been told it shud be quick!

 

[rashcupra]

these 16v gti engines are RAPID for a n/a engine and age i do like the mk1's but i think they need alot more work/money to look goodn so went my my favorite shape in the end
