car looks great. what colour are the wheels? you have a oaint code? painted or powdercoated? cheers

I've got the code somewhere from the last owner as the paint is beginning to lift in a couple of places so will be getting redone in a few months. Will have a look for you.

Had a 90 1.8 16v, 92 16v a few years ago as daily drivers then recently had a 94 VR6 as a toy but that's now made way for something older  :smiley:


My old VR6.

Aircooled;



58 bug, had this for 13 years, the first 2 being spent restoring it.



Current 71 California import Ghia, very original (apart from me lowering it...)
Anyway, back to the mk5, found the other day I have no brake lights unless standing on the pedal, investigation required tomorrow, probably in the rain.

What a gorgeous collection!   :signLOL:

I've had the mk2 GTI, Corrado, LCR also. Good taste ;)

Miss the Corrado I must say. Future classic I reckon.

Brake lights - now working, at some point the switch had been changed but did'nt look to seat properly....
Next on the list is a rear wiper, last owner removed it and while it does look good I'm missing one this time of year. Luckily a mate is clearing his garage out and had a working motor, got a new arm on order however the washer pipe is going to take a little reviving.

2" self tapper used to block it so the pipe is now toast). Will try a few local scrappy's.
