I might be getting a Mk 2 Golf, either very cheap of maybe even free

What are peoples thoughts on these? Many cars of the same age (E reg) are considered to be old bangers but I think the Golf has quite a lot of charachter With a few mods they scrub up well

If I do get it I wont be going too mad on it, just a run around whilst I work on my other project


Feel free to post pics of them, we love wasting bandwidth

Plans are to just get it working & use it as a runaround

Might do one or two bits. Badgeless grille, lowered, alloys, exhaust etc.

Its not actually too bad, looks kinda cool
