I'd be here all day, passed in 90 after failing twice in 88, first was a mini clubman estate 1976 but since then I totalled up the cars I had about 5 years ago and it was over 60, probably more like 80 now, sounds a lot but had my mini when i was 15 so 37 years just over 2 a year, I will make another list one day.
Well I don’t know about anyone else but I’d love to see the full list.
Hi guys have the following bits for sale.. these are all on my car which I'm putting back to something close to factory look..
Big bumpers front and rear 200

That's a walk around of the car there are no cracks in the arches and I can post some more detailed pics on request..tia for your interest.
P.S
Also on the lookout for a nice set of small gti bumpers.
Would using other bushes like powerflex et all make the job easier? Or are you wanting to keep original. Let us know how you get on as I want to do this job but will be dropping the beam and painting it as it's not too pretty anymore.
Helios blue and oak green were first introduced with the 1 in 10 million edition but after that they did continue as standard GTI colours. The interior, if still original will tell us for certain but looks highly likely.
The plastic trim/boot handle should be plain unpainted plastic. They weren’t body colour till big bumper.
yeah it's got the g60 arches on it. I'm gathering up the bits to put it back to small bumper.. and yes it's original oak green. So you think definitely a one in 10 million edition?
Hard to find in decent condition the bumpers are, tried for months, you can get new here https://www.werk34.de/de/stossstange-hinten-passend-fuer-golf-ii-gti-zierleiste-rot-807.191.301-fq.htmlhi mate thanks for that link I see the front and rear bumpers there, do they have the wheel arches and trim though.. finding it hard to navigate the site and work out which ones I need..
Hi I think you should do a compression test with a warm engine. I read somewhere you should take the black lead off the coil as this saves any damage to the electrical system. Good readings are in the 180 region.

I can promise you, you'll never see me at a show'n'shine.
Thank you for the comments, even though I feel awkward seeing them.
I don't post about my car elsewhere and it's this forum alone that's brought me to where I am with it.
Said before that since joining I've grown from peaking out at checking the oil to having just taken the engine apart and it's all because of you lot with your posts, advice and support.
So if you're a newbie, like I was not that long ago, don't be daunted by getting stuck in. It's all very, very doable and you'll not be stuck for help on here.
So glad to hear that, I stopped going to shows because the 'scene' was getting silly, I much prefer to see resto's than BBS shod dumped cars, car is looking epic though, credit to you, something I should have done with mine but life got in the way!!
