bought this today

its an 86

mk2 gti 16v , its been to the moon and back at least a couple of times but runs really sweetly and the box doesn't rattle on crunch .Of corse it needs some work like the bushes are all shagged and the gearstick feels like its not attached to the box(more bushes and very common) and it'll be put on a serious diet ,its oak green in colour but appears to have been at least two other colours before atlas gray origionally and then a slim green nice!!(very 1995 \:D/ ). got it for the bargin price of

Looking great fella. Personally I like the big bumpers but there we are. I think this was at Snetterton in January.

Regarding the small bumpers, someone like Hainsford Hall any good?

Yes, i recognised this car too.
These tools are getting quite common or should i say popular.
We have almost as many of these in the club as Imprezas and Skylines :lol:
If you need polybushes, arb's etc give me a shout

any idea how the previous owner got on ? can't have done that well i struggled to find first after driving it off the trailer and the boot was full of stereo gear .on closer inspection the selector ball has disintergrated and the engine could do with a tune up , the idle is high and it hunts like mad looks like the ignition timing has been toyed with as well so its time to get the spanners and the well used/oilly haynes manual out

don't get me wrong a genuine big bumper car looks right , as does a small bumper car, but a small bumper with a pair of big bumpers looks odd unless you put all the trim from the big bumper car on

oh god i'm being a :loser:
