My BeliRican, 93 SLC

another reason why people need to get to VW Festival next year[emoji16]

So, Now that i'm back into VR6 power I thought i start a little build/project running report. Story so far goes like this: Not long sold my 91 8V 5 door Golf MK2 GTI. Was also in a bit of a non running state when purchased. Been stood since 2005. Managed to get it running nicely. Original paint was mint, one small area needed attention, MOT'd lowered, wheels, etc.... Turned out to be a nice clean low mileage car (77,000).

Found my goodridge hoses in the garage. Fronts are the correct ones, need to check the rears. Calipers will get a coat of paint too. Enough waffling for now, my back is sore and a need a beer lol..... Hope for a dry day tomorro

Gearbox washed off and cleaned up. Not going too mad. I intend to use this car....! Rain has stopped play today... Few beers and some online shopping tonight for debadged grille and more inspirational ideas lol..... Hopefully it will stay dry tomorrow!

That's what I've got for mine, quick mock up in place and they look quite reasonable. Will have plenty paint and underseal on them prior to fitting and hopefully make them last!
