I picked this 85 golf up for a great price. Unfortunately, the body was in rough shape, and it needed a new clutch. After installing the clutch, and all the trimmings I decided to do something a little different with it... I have one VW that is lowered, so why not one that is lifted? well not as of yet, VR6 springs should fix that. Did the body work, a quick coat of paint, and I fabed up a new bumper and a skid plate. I have a couple more ideas of a more aggressive front bumper, and some ideas for the rear as well. Also thinking of fabing up a set of nerf bars, and an exterior spare tire bracket. Mane this, its reliable, solid and a lot of fun. Check out the garage for more of my past and current projects.

 

***UPDATE***

Car was sold to run in the 2008 BABE Rally. It made it there, but unfortunatly not back home. Ill; have some pictures up soon of its BABE status.
