My daily driver MK II Golf GTi 16V now I've fitted the summer wheels. A correct set of 6"X14" ET 33 BBS RA's, these would have been the original factory option at the time over the OE VAG Alloys. It's a real belter, which I was very lucky to get my hands on!!! 113K miles, FSH, original factory leather in Black, EW, PAS ,CL ETC and finished in the best colour (IMO) for a MK II, Oak Green.
Car used to belong to Forum members, quattrofeaver, then Trist28 with whom I collected the car from London. Tristan sold it to me as he's got 2 X S2 Avant's as well as a couple of other projects and didn't have time for this car as well. I called dibs when we picked her up nearly Three years ago now, very glad, as she's mine now. It's SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much fun.
I'm blasting round in it at the moment whilst I get my Corrado's G60 charger rebuilt, have to say it's hardly a hardship. The thing will do 40MPG, driven with care and if chose to use my right foot I'll still see 30 MPG, unless in hooligan mode
It was one of the last cars to be driven over to the UK by VAG, as opposed to mass transported. I have the original paper work signed in Germany by some dude, confirming the spec and stating that he is to drive the the car to the UK with care.
It's dirty because I use it, ie rag the nuts off it!!!
Over the next year the plan is an Audi 80 6A bottom end from a quattro I broke last year. I have a recently skimmed, pressure tested reconditioned head, with as new guides/matched valves with new stem seals, I'm going to lightly flow and match the manifolds etc. Custom Four branch manifold using Audi 7A Tubular EM, KR Cam's maybe slightly reground as I have a few sets to play with. Seam welded wish-bones and front subframe, Corrado ARB. ALL!! Bushes replaced with Poly items, new ball joints, tie rods etc. I have all the parts required to do that work sat waiting on the shells in my workshop., going to use a MK I Corrado subframe and wishbones as I have them to hand and can get them sand blasted, powder coated and assembled with all bushes ready to bolt straight up. The car came with Koni adjustable rear dampers fitted and I have a nearly new set sat waiting to go on the front, springs are staying stock.
At some point both sides are going to be painted as there's a few dent and scratches to get rid of. Performance first though!!
Plus a couple of shots of the S2's front end now I've got it to fit together properly and clear the inter-cooler. I'd love to be getting her finished next but my priority must be spending the next month on my T4 Carravelle. Finishing the body work for the next owner who has paid a deposit for me to paint in West Brom White and Blue. There's 3K cash sat waiting for me when it's ready to hand over. 1K of which is ear marked for the S2's final evolution, including, Tax, MOT, service parts followed by custom mapping

. The Centre console bares wittness to some sort of large device and the FSH suggests it was owned by various 'city boys' for the first Ten years of it life.
