Here she is :)

[mitch750]

Got a chance to take a couple of photos so thought id post them up, nothing spesh im no photographer!

more to come of interior and of things that need to be done and what not.

Paid 5250 for her, shes an 88 england import, hasn't had any problems yet, have about 6G in receipts from previous owner just from servicing he said he really took care of her and wanted to make it a hillclimb machine, but his son lost interest. I however will not
And shes clean as fook too.. under the wheels still white, good tread, decent interior, and not tooooo much rust.

Might change the colour... cause white, fml gotta wash it everyday, but dunno any other colours that look as good!

Also stayed tuned on this thing becoming a 20V





















^^ was bored one night...

The beesting aerial was a 16v feature IIRC and not on 8vs, maybe on higher spec models also (G60 etc).


Great little car Mitch, congratulations. None of my business really but if it were mine I'd change those VW centre cap stickers for BBS ones ASAP the VW emblem looks a little out of place IMO.

[DUBY]

agreed about the caps,

But theyre fakies! haha!! so id feel like douche making them look real, they came with the car so dw they'll be sold and ill get some proper ones, will have to do for now! haha

[Domel]

Nice! Definitely keep it white. In fact, from the pictures, I wouldn't even bother respraying, just fix up the rust spots and she'll be sweet! Plus, original paint adds to the character of the car IMO

Congrats!

[ausgolfer]

Haha, I say change the caps for BBS ones anyway

I agree with Domel on the color. But I have always been a white car fan.

Looks wise, I reckon the exhaust on there now looks pretty ace.

[mitch750]

What do you guys think of pearl white? hmmm.. its gonna have a respray down the track cause ill be stripping it

its my dream car so i may aswell do it perfect

i look into the stickers carl! just for you! haha

yeh i think the exhaust looks sweet too wouldnt mind it being 'chrisper' though

[ausgolfer]

Ha ha, for me, how sweet

Pearl white wouldn't work on an older car with black/grey trim. If it was older again, with chrome trim it "could" work, but still wouldn't be very nice IMO.
If you want to change the color I'd say go for a factory color, atlas grey, oak green, the same blue as Dave/stigs, black, red. At least this way it won't be a "trend" color that you may regret at some point.

Jealous

[OEM G60]

Nice one mate, great original condition! Carl is right about the bee sting - 16V/G60/Rallye had those, also had the cut-outs in the front spoiler for brake cooling ducts on the small bumper model 16V. Need to sort that rear wiper! You can get them to lay flat to the right, google and find a how to.

[mitch750]

Yeh true pearl white wouldnt work, i guess ill leave it white, never seen a matte white one but yeh im not a fan of trendy colours.

yeh dude it was sitting flat! till i touched the wiper handle thing to try make it work and ruined it! haha i need a new wiper blade indicator thing! its snapped!

is this the bee sting thing?



^^ also, how sexy is that!

[mitch750]

another thing, can that back window openage be done to my 88? or did certain models come out with it like the new ones? i rkn it looks sharp
