I thought I'd show you guys my recently bought 1991 mk2 golf GTD
I sold my GL project (converted it to digifant 8v GTI) to move onto something new. This is my 9th mk2 now, and it's my 1st diesel one. This came up at the right price (those who know me will know it wasn't a lot), come with Tax till end of July and MOT till the end of September, and 218k miles on it. It drives spot on, is on early hottuning coilovers, and its true what they say, the earlier ones are a much nicer ride, it doesn't crash and knock your teeth out, the ride is actually superb! It has remote central locking, red stripe 90 spec GTI interior, and surprisingly the intercooler has ALL its plastic shrouds
3 things broke on the ride home though, a fuel tank strap, the backbox fell apart, and a plastic arch trim nearly went flying! I've since screwed on the arch trim, fitted a gti backbox and removed the hanging tank strap. Only other thing to sort is the rev counter, as the wire has broken off the alternator. This is how I got it...
Then today it went down another inch or so and I've red striped the bumpers. I've also now fitted pressed plates, gti backbox, mk3 weighted shift rod, twin lamp grille and small splitter. I also removed the trumpet from the airbox (as I have done with digifants in the past) so it leaves a big hole in the front of the airbox, makes a loud "whooosh" on boost now lol.
You may notice it has US spec side markers, quite a rarity over here as you can only order them from the US.
The shell is fairly rusty and IMO some bits aren't really worth repairing, so when the MOT runs out I may look into buying a cheap GTI with no engine and re-shell it
Comments please
