my first car - low budget MK3 Golf

[da-michi]

Hello, my name is Michael and i'm from south-east bavaria, germany.

this is my Golf MK3 GT, which i bought from an old lady.
I looked for an completly stock car, and I think i got what i wanted.


here some datas:
199.050 kilometers
disc brakes all around
electrical sunroof and windows
MFA
"rare" Recaros


wheels:
at the moment it's on 14 inch steel wheels, but I bought yesterday a set of Azev A in 7.5 and 9x16 for 200€, I think thats an acceptable price for them.

they are in bad to middle condition but me and my brother planning to do a rebuild on them soon.

started to work on the Azev's. more to that soon..


the next steps will be:
- repainting the outer ledges in black
- blacken the frontlights
- buying a set of black headlights
- buying some coilovers and slam it

that's it for now, updates will come soon!

after "rebuilding" the AZEV's i realised that the wheels are too big for the car, because of the offset.. initial error..

in the meantime i ordered some coilovers from TA Technix, they are probably the cheapest and most uncomfortable on the market, but hey: the theme of the story is low budget

after 4 days of waitng they arrived, after that me and a friend installed them - the Golf is now 70mm lower than before, and I love that fact!

Have fun with it.

But i recomend not going for TA Technix. Heard bad things from quite a few people..

kauf dir lieber ein normales Gewindefahrwerk und lass es per Einzelabnahme eintragen. Mit Einzelabnahme darfst du tiefer drehen als im Gutachten stehen und das Gewinde voll ausnutzen.

danke! beim nächsten Auto dann, oder wenn es kaputt geht kauf ich ein gutes, neues. (hab ich zumindest vor )

in love with the black taillights

ordered some black original Hella headlights for 25€. I love the difference!

that's what he is looking right now, got the temporary wheels on now (they're 6x15 all around, bought them with the car. )
need to buy some 17s and new trunk - asap
