[vealige1 0]

Just thought i'd sign up to the forum, most may know the car i purchased it not so long ago and set about overhauling the old girl. :) She's off the road again now whilst i fit some more bits but hope you all like. Its not quite a Corrado but i love her to bits 8)

 

 

A Quick before when i bought the car:

 

 

 

And now after a quick overhaul by myself. :D

 

 

Oh and just to show shes not all show :lol:

very nice mate, i really like it 8)

 

but why do it to a five door?

[BigTartanJudge 0]

He didn't, he bought the car from a guy who had already modified it to look like this :wink:

it was a feature in pvw i think?

[Phil K 0]

That looks sweet! 8)

 

Do you have any problems with the white rear plate?

very nice mate, i really like it 8)

 

but why do it to a five door?

 

Its nice to be different plus its quicker then a corrado as well :wink: :lol: But all Golf G60's are LHD just that this one happened to be a white 5 door. Besides at the time of purchasing no other car had the spec of this one for the right price, besides i'm known for having my 5 doors. Makes it more of a Wolf in sheeps clothing anyhow which is all fun :lol:

it was a feature in pvw i think?

Certainly was november 2003, was owned by Paul McCleary then hence the G60 PM number plate :lol:

 

That looks sweet! 8)

 

Do you have any problems with the white rear plate?

 

No not at all mate, I think the only reason i dont have any trouble is because the cars LHD so the police just assume its german.

thats a sweet looking golf,,,, liking the 5 door feel too its different

[PhatVR6 0]

mint car, I remeber it well, been out in it a few times, quikest G60 I've ever been in.

 

That exhasut used to belong to my mk2 vr6. I made the quickshift in that car too!

 

Never dismiss a 5 door....you never know what they're hiding.

 

cracking job of cleaning it up there fella!

[_leon_ 0]

what did you spend/change to do all of that? its quite a nice transformation! I am wanting to tidy my engine bay too...

[Ronan 0]

Yeah Mr Veale, tell the nice people how much you spent JUST ON WHEEL BOLTS!!

 

Been out in this car, it's certainly quick, and he forgot to tell you that this car has done over a quarter of a million miles too, for doing that sort of mileage it's in stunning nick. I'd go as far to say this is one of the best mk2's I know.

 

Shame the owner is a ginge really.

[BigTartanJudge 0]

Sorry but :lol:

Never dismiss a 5 door....you never know what they're hiding.

 

I'm never quite sure why 5 doors come in for some stick. Its exactly the same as a 3 door, except you don't have to worry about clumsy mates ripping your seats up and scratching stuff whilst they try and scrabble around to fit in the back seats!

[Ronan 0]

Because they look worse, usually.

[Shaggy 0]

the bays looks sweet! thats just the sort of bay i am looking to achieve!, Did you use paint to make it metal bits look so clean? ( rocker cover etc etc) Got any quick tips on what you did to get you bay like that??

 

Whats your spec by the way? remember seeing it in PVW a while back, maybe on the group thrash, cant remember...

[_leon_ 0]

either some good painting or a lot of new bits! waiting for the info :)

[vealige1 0]

WOOOOW, cheers for the responses guys.

 

Big thanks to Phat for the work previously done on the car the quickshift is the best i've ever used and the exhaust is certainly unique :lol:

 

As for the engine my secret is £5 tin of engine paint from halfords! :lol: Some silver hammerite and some POR hi temp engine paint as well. Took about two months on and off to do it i have pics of everything :lol:

 

The only parts that i replaced were the watter bottle, rad, knock sensor and induction kit for bahn brenner one. The charger went off to g-werks for a rebuild and come back like brand new, cheers darren 8)

top quality job sir. i love seeing these kinds of posts, its gives me real encouragement to get mine up to scratch like this. As far as i see, it was more time consuming rather than expensive. I know what you mean about the charger,

after I got mine rebuilt, I couldnt believe how new it looked when it was returned.

 

well done :) inspiring!
