Hey all
Since I've been talking about my Golf mk2 gti alot, I thought it might be a good idea to follow the steps I take to get her back to her former glory, and get advise on any maintenance that I need.
It's a 91 aus spec mk2 Golf GTI with a 2E 2L mk3 gti engine which was converted by previous owner, Scotsman. He also dropped her on coilovers (very stiff going down the hume), put on a custom exhaust (sounds swaw-eet), and swapped and changed lights to smoked.
First thing I've done is ordered original lights as I liked the stock look and so that is what I'm trying to achieve. This included changing over the rear lights, front indicator lights, and fixing the side lights as one was stuck on by gaff tape (not a good look).
Here are a few pictures of what she looked like when I got her:
A list of all that needs looking at and to be changed or fixed (any hints on where to go would be tops):
I'll add to the list as I notice more stuff to fix.
Cheers
