Few more photo's
And just had my wheels refurbed
Before
After
That really is in amazing condition. So hope you keep it standard and looking like that. It'll be worth a few grand at least soon
I had 16v one in the same colour (Monza Blue) as the one next to yours above. Gave it away after having it in storage for 5yrs
Gwan retro boi......
Mine was a D plate and had the wing mirrors a 1/4 way up the doors as it had front 1/4 windows. The wipers also went the wrong way which made me think that i was a german car converted to rhd

16vs ran late C reg to J reg, thats 6-7years
until half way through E plate (83-87 cars) all Golf 2 had those front windows with the 1/4 galss and the wing mirrors in that position, and the LHD wipers.
late E to Early G (88 & 89) they had the full front window and the RHD wipers
Late G to end, J, (90 & 91) they were Big bumper
Those pics weren't taken at Harewood House by any chance were they? It's just that they had the VW Festival there at the weekend.
Nice motor btw!
Ahh Mk2 16V, the car I lost my license in all those years ago when one angry Traffic Robot posed the question "Do you think your your cars fast son!?" to which I shrugged & he blared "COS WE COULDNT FCUKING CATCH YOU!!"
I loved that car
Good choice mate
Very nice, small bumpers always look better to me.
Hope you leave it on 14s. If you can still get standard bushes from VW they're worth it and Koni T/As with standard springs works well, though I prefered Eibachs.
Bit more work done to the gti today she's getting there..
A little update been busy with sorting the front valance today instead of doing it on the car i removed it to make rubbing down preparation and painting a lot easier
A few photo's so far
Now in primer just need to give it a rub down tomorrow and another coat of primer then it's ready for paint
Nice, I've always been a fan of VW's.
My mate bought a crash damaged atlas grey 3dr 16v big bumper off a stoner student for £400. £30's worth 2nd parts later it was MOT'd and on the road
Oak green 5dr big bumper is the one for me though
Got a second coat of Torando red on today and may put third coat on tomorrow here is how it looks !!
Update time fitted front valance today 2 coats of primer 3 coats of tornado red and 2 coats of lacquer also fitted the under trim on the grille it all is coming together now also be cleaning a few bit on her check photo's
