    Good to see you back mate, was wondering where you was :thumbup:

    My Mk2 is currently off the road for a freshen up. Im re-doing a few things which I should of done before.

    Your rear beam looks great. I've got a 16v one in the garage ready for a refurb!

    Been a while since i was last on to update this thread

    Had a bit of work done to the mk2 over the winter and last few months. Around Christmas the headlining in the boot area came down i had to use the car in all that bad weather we had [8(] change of temperature did it i think.

    I then got around to changing the water pump as some of you know it used to get very hot when driving, i managed to get an uprated water pump from a 1.9TDI through my mate at JCB VW which was refurbish for 60

    I now have an agreed value of 3000 on a classic policy for 185

    I have also had my original dealer plates re made by a nice guy called Dave over at http://www.dmb.uk.com/ i gave him what pictures i had of the old plates and he remade them also did my tax disc holder and did a dealer rear window decal which looks really good.

    A few pics

    Very nice car, love the BBS body kit :thumbup: I always used to admire the 80's body kits in the Haynes Improve and Modify Golf & Jetta.

    And it is handy to know about the plates and stickers, I wonder if he can replicate my 'Scotts of Sloane Square', number plate, window sticker and complicated tax disc holder?
