Here's our mk2 golf gti 16v, 1989 in jade green.
Car belongs to me and my dad, he purchased it off a doctor is 2004-ish after it was a trade in at his garage. I believe it's done around 60k with full service history. It was resprayed by my dad in 2006 and we put it together the year after.
Hasn't been out since 2012 but hoping I can get insured on it this year! The car was 100% rust free when we resprayed it, since then the shell has never got wet, we just dust it down with speed detailer and a microfibre.
Here's my daily driver...
15' plate A1 TDI, 1.6. Currently lowered on Eibach suspension, due to drop another 10mm at the front and 5 at the rear. 15mm spacers for the rear on order.
She's going in for remap, exhaust and proper breathing in the new year. Would also like to get a carbon splitter, and the slightly bigger spoiler from the S1.
Actually really impressed with this car, interior is fantastic quality and feels well made. Since lowering it the handling is just unreal, there's not a lot of 'normal cars' that wouldn't be able to touch this around country lanes, fantastic little thing!
