1991 mk2 golf gti (8v)

[Baked_bean]

Hey guys,
Had this car since the end of April and i love it overall. Got it for a bargain price with 12 months mot, just a shame its a 5 door really....

It is a completely standard example other than the coilovers (fitted before i bought it) and the smoked hella indicators, it also has a few 16v trinkets (the half smoked rear lights, bee sting aerial etc).

Since i've had it i have:
Given it a service (filters & fluids)
Fitted a leather corrado steering wheel
new oem golf ball gear knob
gti grill badge
Clutch release bearing

I have plenty of other little jobs lined up for it over the coming months aswell to get it tip top.

Anyways i will let the photos do the talking.....















Thanks for getting that far :P

excellent stuff, got a real soft spt for these, especially in that colour. steels are a nice look too. what plans do you have for it?

Wheels work really well with the colour. Looks very clean

G60 wheels look great on MK2's.


Good work

Very nice car. Big fan and GTi 8v, have had 2 in the past.

But what is the thing with green. I never saw the point of it with tornado red

130 bhp just doesn't mean a thing in modern terms, because that cars feels some much faster..

Better get some glue on that indicator

i tihnk if i could respray my m3 in any colour this would be in the top 3 choices for me.

My favourite colour for a mk2 golf. But really not keen on the wheels, they look like they came off a lowly 1.6 driver or similar.

Indeed, a nice set of BBS split rims for the summer.

Thanks for the kind comments guys. I do like the wheels but i am thinking of sourcing some bbs ra's like it had from the factory or maybe some Porsche teledials (although i know the ph masses wont like that idea ) and keeping the g60's for winter use as it is used daily to drive 60 miles.

Lovely car. I had an early mk2 8 valve and loved the thing. Remember it being quite low geared and red-lining surprisingly easily in 5th

Very nice car mate! I learnt to drive in one of these when I was 10, an 8valve 5 door big bumper car, single headlight conversion, lowered all round with E30 BBS rims, have a real soft spot for these so very nice
