QLD My first DUB (MK2 GTI 90 spec)

[tarlo83]

So here she is, was rough as when I got it (missing trim all over the outside and generally filthy) I dont think Paul ever washed her

So far I have got most of the GTI trim back
replaced the front lip with a brand new one from China
painted the front bar
cleaned up the inside and started on the outside (still needs a good cut)
put in Hot tunnings coilovers
replaced all belts, vac lines, plugs leads dizzy cap rotor button.... ect.....ect.....
oh and painted the wheels black for now (not sure if I am keeping the steelies yet)

Welcome mate.
Good to see another brissie owner on board.

Hopefully we can see the thing in person at one of the local events.

That's looking nice and tidy now. Good stuff

[Jarred]

use IMG instead of url to post pics in the post mate

looks very tidy, and was a bargain to boot IIRC.

Glad someone finally gave it a wash!

[tarlo83]

Thanks guys, She still needs some work (the roof and bonnet will need a respray eventually)
I have spent ages just trying to get the dam thing to idle properly :-/ its a real pain in the a$$

Gotta find some new strut top mounts now to, any ideas in bris?

[GoLfMan]

good to see you're cleaning it up mate, good to save the older species

[ahbvw]

Always look nice in White, give Jimmy Mac a call, he can sort the idle issue for you and you will not need a bank loan

[tarlo83]

Just a few new pics since I put the newly painted rear bar on

Yeah wheels are on the cards at some stage but I am on a tight budget with this thing and its cost a bit just to get her running properly :-/
it had tonnes more wrong with it then I thought when I bought the dam thing.... but she is getting better

Check out tirerack.com

I saw they had some pretty awesome BBS and OZ wheels available in the older bolt patterns (4x100?)

[Glynn.]

welcome dude, will hafto get it scraping then come take some fotos with my mk3

[tarlo83]

Update.....

I can now get reverse and first when I actually want them
I replaced the the linkage bushings at the gear box over the week end, WOW what a difference..... I don't know how the last owner drove it for so long the way it was

next on the list is timing and CV boots..... then hopefully some cheap second hand wheels.

Then I am pretty well done for a while

Feel free to start a proper thread in the MK2 or project section.
The work you've done so far is a huge improvement, don't want to miss any of the work planned for it.
