PostSubject: Newbie alert!! Newbie alert!! EmptyThu Mar 10, 2011 10:06 am

this is my new runabout for the time being, i can see it staying for some time!!!! Its a mk3 8 valve gti and its in mint nick considering its age, picked her up today, replaced 2 switch blanks that had been butchered to fit a handsfree kit by previous owner and thats all ive done with it so far, got a little bit of a dent on rear passenger side corner but thats it.

have hit one snag, but i think its down to me being thick rather than the car, came to fit my cd player in it and everything works apart from the radio, cant seem to get the headunit to pick up any stations, but i'll have a look at it when i have more time at weekend. The aerial is connected as the one i took out worked no probs, so must be something simple.

It,s got leccy windows, leccy mirrors, leccy sunroof, fog lamps, the whole lot works a treat as well, i have to say im quite impressed. i always liked them but never got round to having one. no major plans for it, it will be a looker rather than a goer i think, got my sunday car tucked away in the garage!!

full stainless jetex exhaust, sill protectors, bonnet struts, lowered all round, engine is standard, not even an induction kit.

dead chuffed with her.

Anyway, nice to see there is a local forum, and hope to get to some of the meets at the gables as its not far from me. So see some of ya soon

Looking at it you would not think it was going to be scrapped not so long ago. Car does drive well just needs a little bit of work to make it mint.
