So Im not big on running a nice car through winter at all as I bought the Golf as a toy to enjoy and tbh I dont enjoy the car in winter weather; no traction, grit, muck, hassle etc. So I have been looking out for a cheap mk3 to run me through the winter
Ever since school Ive always wanted a mk3 GTi, I can remember sitting in class drawing them with my mates
Ok so their not the most desirable Golf compared against the mk1's and 2's but are relatively cheap to get a gudden unlike the m1's and 2's. I came across a real gem for not a lot at all.
I found a mk3 GTi 8v 20th Anniversary in satin silver, with no tax or test, went up and had a look with a guy I know in the trade and we had a good look around it and everything was spot on, I gave the guy £900 and that was that. I put it straight through a test without laying a finger on it to which all it failed on was a nearside track rod end.
Got that sorted and put it through a re-test which it passed
Anyway here it is after a very good clean:
And today it looks like this
