Mars red or "rot" is right. Citrus red was available only on 76 Australian Golfs from memory...

Pulled the wraps off, stuck the plates on, packed the dog in the car and took her out for a spin. In hope I could get my dodgey roadworthy today... no luck on the roadworthy my "contact" wasn't in today, but sure as hell had a fun drive




Ollie (the dog) enjoyed it too



though on the down side left with a perfectly working car came home with a coolent and oil leak

[Jarred]

looks scmick!

how did it all drive. Have you found where the coolant and oil leaks are coming from.

I had a leaking rad the other day too. I got some bars leaks, and it's seemed to work for the time being.

[WABIT]

Numberplates are awesome!!!! you still have your sun visor here!!!

hahaha

dom

[Jarred]

Yea I forgot to mention, i love the plates too. I was going to get them, except couldn't justify the price of them! [ i'm a tight i know haha]

[Whubbsie]

She drove perfectly not one hiccup except after about 2 hours the radio kept losing power guess it’s a loose connection
The coolant leak is ending at the water pump or was it’s gone now, oil leak is at the clutch where it connects to the engine about as far as I've investigated.
Was thinking of what to do with the visor on my drive... that and worrying that the dog might decide to eat one of the seat belts
Had to get the plates nothing else would of suited, 3rd of the price of what I paid for the euros on the polo, ten times cooler so not too upset with parting with that cash.

Was getting looks from everywhere not sure if it was the car, me or the dog... or just the combination of big hairy guy and dog that looks like it will rip your face off in a small car that sounds like a MACK truck.

awesome matey,

I recon leave it all stock with the mudguards and everything, and just slam it into the weeds with coilovers and a sunvisor to top it off! (dont forget the roof racks!) MINT

[gtimk5]

That looks great, how about leaving it alone thus keeping its goodness!
