5Door CGTi Massive! Join the revolution!

Here's a sneak look at my MK2 project - 5 door - soon to be completed, yeah!!

 

Should I point out one of the best (and rarest) Golf Mk2 models? The Golf Limited was actually VW's fastest Golf model prior to the R32 being introduced and shock! horror - it had 5 doors!!!!!





Spec was 1.8 (209bhp) G60 supercharged engine and 4wd - all in a discreet black 5dr shell, the perfect Q car. I think that ends the 3/5dr argument.

To add insult to injury. I have owned both and think that the whole 3dr accessibility thing makes them a boy racer option only. 5dr models offer more room, better access and better options when it comes to engaging females in car related activities (and I don't mean shopping!). I'm currently rocking a shabby 89 5dr 1.8 carbed Golf Syncro.


Already fitted a Weber, Jetta front end and '90 spec bumpers.


The kit and a 40mm drop are happening next week. Rim choice is up in the air ATM but this Photoshop image is potentially where I am hoping to be next year...



Bought it a month ago for 400 with spare diff, box and VC. Minor issues but nothing thats disuaded me from the practicality and pointability of a 4wd 5dr.

 

OI whats wrong with donkey dicks? mine has one, bloody useful!



yyeeaahhhh pimp daddy estate, the usefulness of 5 doors plus a bit extra space too, damn handy!

5 doors rule!






Just wanted to reliterate that

 

There are 3 x 5 doors in my life....my mk2 GTI, the other half's mk4 GTI and the dog's Astra estate (yes the dog has its own car)

 

Wasn"t really a fan of 5 doors back in the day when you had to own a three door just bought a mk2 golf 1.8 carb 5 door and am loving it.Lowered it 55mil and trying to think of other cheap mods i can do any ideas?.You do seem to get some funny looks off the saxo boys tho.
5 doors rule

 

I'd totally forgotten about this thread!! I last posted about 18 months ago on it and it's still going!?!

I recently got a Corrado, so naturally not 5 doors. However, such is the superiority of the mighty 5 door, I chose to keep my old 5 door mk2. Practicality rules OK.

 

I want to join! just recently got a mk2 5dr - admitedly I was looking for a 3dr but found this lil beauty which i totaly love!
O yeh Big up the 5dr massive!!
