MK3 Golf GTi 16v

[dub]

Well, here goes! Picked up this mint Mk3 16V off Coog yesterday evening. As you all know, it's a real credit to Craig. The amount of work he put in, and the previous owners going on the bundle of receipts, was unreal.

His original thread, over his two stints owning her, is here http://reallymeansounds.com/forum/threads/mk3-golf-gti-16v.68045/

I'd put a wanted thread up a few weeks on here and on GTINI. Had a few offers and was gunning for a 5 door one, but after looking at Coog's on Saturday and being let know he was thinking of getting rid, I had to at least have a gander! Little did I know, an hour later, I was leaving with it! He really didn't want to see her go I think, but at least you'll be able to call round on Mondays!

Plans for it are.......honestly? I've no idea, enjoy it? I'll give her a run over with a fine tooth comb over the next few days, but I can see nothing that'll need doing.

Woodcutter I heard from Craig that you've some bits sitting? I may be in touch!

Pics to follow (mostly from Coog's thread!)

Coog the lesson here is to hold on to the mk3 until said scene tax kicks in for them

lol it's going nowhere!

 

[mthompo]

good job! if had the money i would have lifted that myself lol health to drive and all

 

[Coog]

Don't talk to me about it Davey ffs. I blame Twain for making me question the reason why I'd have a car that does 500 miles a year lol

She's a real good one. Health to drive mate... I miss it but am glad it's gone to another fussy home.

 

[Phil_EK9]

If I was closer we would have been having a scrap for it

All the best with it

Good luck with it , car looked in great condition at castlewellan

 

[Mont]

Nice one. Health to drive

Hopefully Coog will take a notion for it again in a year or two and you can make a few quid selling it back to him

Fantastic buy. A set of good coilovers, VR6 speedlines sitting just right and maybe a set of Joey'd headlights and you're elected.

Aye, my suggestion being a set of OEM wheels and lowered slightly, sc3n3 as ****.

 

[DaddyCC]

I just heard coilovers and assumed the worst with you

Now, now lads I'm just glad I've got a car that matches my username lol.

If I was closer we would have been having a scrap for it

Would have been good craic down Ballyhalbert lol!

Hopefully Coog will take a notion for it again in a year or two and you can make a few quid selling it back to him

HAHA! Good one! If it goes, Coog will be first in line!

Cheers lads for all the comments. I'm sure you'll see it out and about.

FIRST MOD! Tidy the user manual lol

Yeoooo!

For fear of old pics resurfacing I won't even argue with that. Lol

 

[Jola]

Very nice dub dub

I cant think of the name of the wheels but they are mk3 golf OEM - was there a special edition at some point or something?

like hens teeth though

After thinking about it, I'm pondering getting pressed plates for her, not 100% sure mind. I've been in touch briefly with Neil@rockvale as it'll be him I'd use.

Another thought is, a new head unit. What's the going rate for getting DAB put in?

 

[micko]

Nice buy, sharp looking car and rare in silver.

Set of 16" anni wheels with graphite centres would finish it for me.

Enjoy.

 

[DaddyCC]

Seen this tonight up close, lovely! Definitely not many about left like this

As i said earlier, pressed plates might look a tad out of place if you're keeping the car fairly original as it is. A small touch of lowerage like the very first picture and some spacers is about the height of it for me and that car

 

[dub]

Cheers Gary, your Fez was great too!

The pressed plates, you might be right. The plates on her at the minute need freshening up anyways. That, plus a lens on the front bumper, which I've no clue how to source a replacement for, and it'll be sitting even better.

 

[Coog]

You'll get the wee lenses on eBay for a few pennies

 

[JonnyH10]

Looks so clean! Would love to have bought it myself!
All the best with it

 

[Neil@rockvale]

Looks like a lovely example mate .

Appreciate the comments people, thanks. I might get a run over some Saturday morning, if you're open then? Do you do normal plates as well as pressed ones?
