When you buy a Tech 2 Sport painfully hungover....

[mattmk1]

Every now and again i remember that i made this thread, and feel the need to update you that the car is still alive!

It spent most of 2021 in dry storage but i gave it a wash down over the weekend and hope to get some more miles in this year.







Starting to get a few areas that need tidying now - one dink on the drivers front wing and i might re seal the underside toward the end of 2022, so will update as i go!

Considering some alpina reps for mine, and looking at my options at the moment

Thanks, the pics of yours might have just swayed me to 17s!

The golf is my brothers! We bought them around the same time and his was far better to start with, but has also been refreshed over the years.

It’s a really nice 16v

Haha I think it was the official repair method of the late 90’s
