At GTi international I saw a black G reg Golf 16V with leather electric recaro's (OE), ABS, leccy windows all standard. Car was a minter. Must have cost the earth back in the day. Looked really tidy in the Mk2 and really lifted the inside.

Looking forward to seeing this when its done as the Mk2 is one of my all time faves.

Cheers Warren,you may have a bit of a wait but will keep it updated on here. Know what you mean about all time faves,had one before,wish i'd never given her away,oh hindsight is a wonderful thing:cry: wanted another since so...........

Kiwi is obviously having a strop due to Thumper getting all the attention :( She's in for a service tomorrow but have just discovered a leak running from behind the centre console down the plate into the o/s footwell?? at first i thought the wet was due to my feet as it's peed down here all day but on closer inspection there has been a definite slowish trickle under the footmat and feeling behind the gap of the console i could feel water,not puddles but anyone got any ideas where it may be coming from? popped the bonnet,can't see anything obvious,seems a bit of a strange place to me as dead central and has gotten the n/s slightly but the carpet there seems to have absorbed it??

Mine had a leak when the clutch cable gromet (sp?) came out of it's location in the scuttle panel. Althoug that came in on the drivers side. Try taking the plastic tray under the wipers out, have a gander under there?

the leak is coming in on the drivers side for the main part or more noticable as not got the plastic panel in the passenger side,will ask the garage to check the gromet tomorrow,can't see anything in the plastic tray,no cracks etc all seems sealed in, bit of wet to the right but nothing i wouldn't expect in this weather....where's the sun gone? thanking you muchly for the info though :D

quick update...got her back :D now have what seem to be fully working brakes,get in!! :) although she seems to be drinking motion potion like it's going out of fashion,had a quick look for leaks whilst she was running,couldn't see or smell anything though:shrug: so will monitor her over the next few days. she did have a service as well,pollen filter was well cacked up apparently so waiting for rain to see if the leak recurs. cost me £525 for the pleasure,hope she's bloody grateful although i think it's a jealousy issue as she knows that was my 20vt and restoration fund for Thumper:cartman: these temperamental females eh?! ;) mechanic took her out for a run,came back with a grin on his face"ooh she's a bit smiley aint she,i wasn't expecting that" he must be easily pleased,hehe!

did mean to shove up a few pics of her whilst she was in bits so may do those tomorrow, just been sat watching Transformers and cba now,what a bloody awesome film though! seperate thread for Thumper coming soon......:D
