here`s a few photos of my ride.

this is how it was when it came to me two bad front wings, cloth seats and a dash covered in glue after some muppet covered it in pink fur 






i fitted a new dash and whole interior carpets seats and headliner







next on the list was the wheels fancied some snowflakes not seen much on mk2s in the uk.
they started out like this



after a lot sanding came the polishing and more polishing then paint







and on the car




now sat on winter steels with its new gti style grill

just a small update i fitted a new front engine mount as you can see the old one was ebay condition used



new and old



i also fitted two new wishbones





it would have been a easy job not for the seized bolt in the subframe

just a small update

new paint for the hubs

REPLACE THOSE HUB CAPS!!!

re-using wheel bearing caps is a bad idea, especially when they are as messed up as yours.

taking them off with a screw driver is a BAD IDEA. moisture will get in the bearing from where it is not sealed, and toast the bearing in short order..

(your car is still beautiful, and i was still excited to see that you posted more pics!!!)

i will replace it the weekend when i get five minutes by the way i pick up second place in the non gti section.
this is the one that was first

WTF?! you got shafted... you should have won.

your car is my favorite one on the entire forum.. i love it that you keep it very factory looking. your car is soo nice, very sharp.

but definitely not a 2nd place car!

in my mind (and probably everyone else on the board) your car is the first place winner, strictly because its a REAL GTD, and VERY WELL preserved at that!

that GTI that won is still a VERY clean car tho. would love to see a few more shots of it as well, if you have any..

[randylovepump]

a few more shots of the red mk2 its a 1.3




its super clean in the flesh

[R.O.R-2.0]

1.3, same engine as they bolt the G40 to?

[randylovepump]

maybe not sure on that. if you want clean look at this






a bit of ocd i think
