Pictures speak better than words....



Happened on September 27th at 6am pouring rain on 85 in downtown Atlanta. Picked up this '91 golf as a DD until my buddy finishes putting the maxima back together. Bought it pretty much bone stock except for the grill and a recent paint job the previous owner did. I will keep everyone posted on the status of the maxima but until then....I'll be driving this little go cart....

 

 

 

 

Ah, man...sorry about the maxima. Hope it gets fixed soon.

But that golf is looking good.

 

Lil Go Kart looks hott man. Keep us up-to-date on the max.

 

diamond racing wheels are def one of my favorites! i owend 3 mk2 gti's and miss them all

 

That look nice, you on Stanceworks?

Goodluck with the Maxima, both your cars look well done

 

Oh noooo that really sucks!

MKII looks sweet though, I love the front end on those cars but hate the rear.

This is my boy's:

 

OMFG that mk2 golf is clean!! Previous owner did more work than you think...its so subtle that you cant tell but we Dubbers (caseyvr6) can...as you mentioned, the grill, that in its own is a whole front end conversion since 91's didnt come with single rounds (headlights), deleted banana lights, deleted fender flares, deleted door moldings, deleted skirts, deleted rear window wiper, and possibly so much more. But thats what I can see from the pics. I miss anything casey?

Mk2's are my fav gen of VW's ever! I had a VR6/5spd swapped MK2 Jetta (all parts sourced from a B4 Passat). No pics though....

Anyways, OP, any plans for modding the Golf? You've got a sweet SWEET car to start on...think 1.8t swap. Direct drop in unlike the VR6...that was a hell of a job believe me...lots of shaving since theres quite a few problem areas where fitment was a b1tch....anyways Im rambling because Im getting a little nostalgic lol. Get on VWvortex and get started

 

thanks everyone!

i actually bought the car from a very close friend of mine who restores volkswagens and yes your correct, there has been quite a bit of work done to the car before i got it, mainly body work, i honestly just didnt feel like typing all of it earlier lol. once i get the max back ill probably do a vr swap for the hell of it but other than that i just keep it simple, 50 mile round trip highway commute every day so for now with just one car im going to try not to brake anything.

 

damn I love the golf!

 

Hella Flush!! Luv it & sorry to hear what happened to your Max

 

i love them both! good luck on the max!

 

Nothing a debadge and red/clear tails wont cure

 

If you do decide to do a VR swap, try to score on a 4 valve one. VR's are known to choke up top....especially a 2 valve (which I swapped in). A lot of machine work to correct that....bigger valves, big valve head, modified intake runners, etc. 1.8t swap on the other hand is much more straight forward and power can be had much cheaper. Power to weight ratio is great! 200whp is easily made by getting a chip. Havent even touched on that dinky K03 turbo... Only thing, the 1.8t's ceiling is low in comparison to the VR. The 1.8t is quick but the VR is torquey. One downside of the VR is that it makes the front end hella heavy completely throwing off the suspension geometry...

My 2 pennies

Good luck. Hope all goes well with both cars. Have FUN.

 

Yup thats what true Dubbin is about....Go flush or go home. Flush, stretch, 15's. Game over

 

True that lol.

 

sorry about the max...hope to see it back in action soon

love that golf btw

 

Those Nismo wheels look great on the black 4th gen...hope it has a speedy recovery!

 

Diamond racing steelies FTW sick

 

dang dude that sucks. i'm glad you and the max are ok..that little Vdub is sick though, i love it!

 

This

 

what did u hit?

 

^ I was so caught up in awe over that MK2 that I forgot to ask

 

lady in a mini van pulled out in front of me. i swerved trying to avoid her but obviously didnt succeed...

 

The bright side bruddah, youre ok and you now have another toy to play with/mod!

 

Love those wheels

 

 

Any updates with the maxima?

 

If not, what about that mkii ?

 

buddy is taking the maxima at the end of january... probably take him about 4-8 weeks to finish the job because it will all be done in his free time. ill try and swing by his shop and get pics off the process for everyone

 

Please do!

 

 

Nice find on that Golf!!!! I'd take a cean MK2 over a maxima any day

 

Would you take a clean MKII over an I30?

 

Nice rides the Max doesnt look that bad as long as nothing wrong with the suspension...

 

OP, join Vortex yet?

 

just an update...

droppin the max off Monday the 7th so my buddy can begin working on it. He said it will take him about 4-6 weeks to have everything finished.

im going to try and swing by to take pictures throughout the process but his shop is about an hour and a half away from my place so i dont know if it will actually happen...

ill keep everyone posted on the rebirth

 

Ive been waiting on an update!! Good ****!!
