It was probably nothing more than a dent that had to be sorted at some point in its past.  |

Red is a pig for fading as well. If the body is straight and the engine is sweet then don't worry too much!

Stick. Hit. Do it!!!
Nice car, 155k miles nothing to worry about either. Look after it, it will look after you!!

Looks like a good base of a car, it also has the later "central electrics" wiring which is much better Buy youself some G3 polishing compound and you will lose a lot of that fade  |

Good choice ! Small bumpers are for winners.  like the transplanter said, get some G3 and give a good rubbing down, it'll come up champion. What engine code is it BTW ? |

Yep i'm pretty pleased with it Where can i get some of this G3 stuff? And how difficult would it be to get a rev counter in there? |

depends if theres a contecter in ur current loom or not, i don't think its a big job anayway, just a case of wiring it.
i leave one of the experts to explain how to wire it up. cos I'm fick me

Lovely!! I'm on the hunt for a Mk2 Golf Myself although in 8v GTI flavour. Quite fancy a five door. See PhilJ on here and clubpolo about suspension!

Get the clocks from a 90' spec golf (the car will have the hazard switch on top of the steering column), this will be much less of a pain to do You can buy G3 off ebay just as cheap as bodyshop suppliers (cheaper in some cases) |

big bumpers, lower it, some 16v gti tail lights may help it abit, clean the inside of the headlights and drivers lights aswell. sounds stupid but they look alot better for it. all can be done on the cheap and makes a big difference!
