There's a new woman in my life...
She's 22, German, black and has been around the block a bit but I love her!
Mk2 Golf GTi 8v 3 door - lowered 40mm on Boge shocks and springs, with 16" OZ alloys. 191k on the clock and still going strong. I've always wanted a Mk2 GTi, 3 door, black, small bumpered and I'd told myself that ideally it would be tastefully lowered and on nice alloys - and then this appeared on Pistonheads so it was a no-brainer really...
I've had her since last week - 12month MOT, 1 month tax - but have only now had time to break out the UDM random orbital polisher and have her shining like she should. Here are the results, after 2 days work
She's been through the Sonus 1,2,3 kit that was recommended - so the equivalent of t-cutting, polishing and then a lighter polish - topped off with Meguiars Gold Class wax. It's not my wax of choice but I'm storing her in the garage at the parents and forgot to bring the Zymol. I really need to invest in a good glaze too but given the mileage I think she's looking pretty damn good for her age.
There are 4 of these I swear...although they desperately need new centre caps.
Nice little MOMO steering wheel...
Got no plans other than to have a couple of little rust patches seen to and keep her as my weekend toy...
