Hi guys, just setting up a build thread for my 2000 Golf MK4 GLE.
The story so far...
After having owned more high performance imports than pairs of sock, I decided to get a nice, sedate car that wouldn't spend half it's life in a workshop. Something relatively new and reliable, with some creature comforts and easy to find spares.
In my quest to find a suitable car, I came across this puppy in Sydney.
it's an Indigo blue 2000 Golf GLE with cream interior
Here's how it looked like on the dealer's ads:
When I went to pick it up I found a fair few things wrong with it as far as dents and scratches went, but nothing I couldn't fix eventually. It drives great and handles reasonably well. For the price I paid I couldn't have asked for a better car.
On the drive back from Sydney to Melbourne, I discovered that the radio was locked out. My guess is the dealer just found a random one at a wrecker and jammed it in. First on my list of things to do will be to either get an unlock code from Eurovox for it, or sind an OEM looking aftermarket unit.
Other mods in my grand plan:
Clean interior (pull out seats and carpets etc)
Tint windows
Put an R32 bodykit on it and fix the dents/scratches
wheels and lowered suspension, got some 5x100 PCD wheels, just need to have the outer barrels machined up for flush fitment.
It's actually kinda sad, but I've been collecting petrol reciepts etc and plugging em into an app that calculates all your fuel usage etc... and I'm finding myself excited about hitting 7L/100km. I think I'm getting old.
