Wel lads

This is my mk2 that i got off my granny when she couldnt handle no power steering any more.Its in our family since new and has been garaged and seat covers.But over the last few years my granny had it it picked up a few car park dings.So far ive:

Cut the springs for all there worth
stretched some 165x50s over some old 15s i had
20mm spacers on the back
rolled arches
Early 16v trim

But with this summers wages i have a few more bits lined up

1.6td to replace tha 1.6d
cheapo ebay coillys
matt black roof

Im 17 in october so im also saving for insurance.Its going to ed38 though so hopefully il have it taxed and the coilovers on.

thanks for tuning in

Fair dues to your granny for 1/picking a vag to buy/drive in the first place 2/passing it on to you; cant think of a better inheritance... and also to yourself for bringing it nearer the tarmac and fitting the rims with that brave tyre stretch...
...would be a shame to change out that 'clean' interior, but a recaro interior and a different steering wheel would rid it of any memories of a blue-rince

and cheer up the inside considerably...
...a nice MK2, which looks very 'individual', which can be hard these days....
