Know its Not an Audi, but so many peeps on here seem to also have love affairs with Mk2 Golfs thought I would post some piccy's of the new Lady that has joined my Harem at home...
This is what she looked like when I bought her from Fleabay, from a guy down in Northampton... (Took me ages to find the right one.... There are some really expensive rubbish models about...) Like my S2 I really wanted a box standard one as I don't go for big mods... As I don't have the know how on how to fix 'em if something goes wrong...
I ran her for a couple of weeks and then took her to my Mate who is a VDub Mk2 Fanatic & Mechanic for him to give it the once over and fit a new clutch as it was on its way out...
In his opinion it is one of the best MK2's he had seen in the last 5 years... All original and well looked after... (I have 3 folders full of bills, full service history... all the MOT's etc etc inc all the receipts for every part bought for the car..)
The only thing that let the car down was a roting tailgate, non standard passenger side wing which didn't fit 100% properly, and a couple of touch up jobs on the paint work... So I asked the guys who painted some parts on the S2 to have a look at her and give me some idea of how much a full respray would cost...
We came to a deal and she went in after having the clutch done... The guys suggested getting a proper OEM wing, another tailgate and bonnet to get the car back to 100% original...
The wing came from the stealers £100.00 odd quid!!!, Tailgate and Bonnet came from a VW dealer on ebay... £10.00 for the bonnet & £40.00 for the tailgate... Would have bought OEM but these are NLA...
