Car of the Month - February
Member Profile
Hey my names Aamir (AMS) I've been member of the forum for nearly a year now, found the club when I was on the lookout something along the lines of an old iconic car and where better to start than a Golf Mk2!! And thankfully I came across the following
The car
My first car! It started off as a stock 1991 1.6 Golf Ryder bought and used for 130k miles of its life in and around Wales!! Once I picked it up though straight down to London to transform it into what I have right now.
;
The Project
First up a full service and a detail to get the paint back to a stunning finish!! Then I came across an old GTI which was ready for the scrappy, instead we managed to salvage much of the car for its parts. The Ryder was then fully stripped apart from the engine to take a look at the condition of the body etc… thankfully everything was in good condition. Then began transferring parts, first the bumpers and other bits and pieces from the GTI were prepped and painted. The seats and all of the other interior bits headlining, parcel shelf, dash etc from the GTI were put into the Ryder along with some new ICE, central locking/alarm was also added and once the interior was complete the exterior work began. Starting off with the engine bay which was all cleaned up and refreshed with a bit of paint, under the arches everything was cleaned and wax oiled, full Militek exhaust system. Next the Big Bumpers, Trim, New lights front (HID 6000 with Angel eyes) and rear (M3) were all added and to finish it off a set of Lenso’z . Well that’s most of all the work that went down without going into too much detail (have a look at the build thread for that!), extremely happy with how it all turned out so far....
Future plans
Should be fitting a set of Coilovers soon and adding a Weber Carb that should be it 2bh but Im sure something else will pop along maybe give it an engine transplant….
Would you and your Mk2 Golf lke to appear as Car of the Month, email upto 3 JPEG pictures and a description and send to golfmk2owners@aol.co.uk . |
