Newbie from Spain !!

Post by meintag »

Hello guys ! I just 've bought a '89 360 GLT to mess with... After some years in VW world I need new emotions in sideways form 8)

I pick a real bargain for the car, only 350 EUR, and that let some cash to improve it... Plans are refresh all the worn bits, lower it and drift it ! Maybe a swap to B230 turbo in a future too...

Some pics here with a friend's sierra that bought at the same time

Very nice! I've got almost identical. :P http://koti.mbnet.fi/mtn/images/autot/GLT/puhdasta.JPG

Red fits very well with 3dr MKIII, though it's pain in the ass to keep shiny at winters because it's not metallic color. :P

There are pink ones ??? sm66 no way..... I've seen some multicolor ( parts with different color ) but never pink ones.....

Man i can't understand people who like "eyesore pink" and "can't miss in the dark" pink....
oh well...can't live without them, can't live with them.

BTW that VW looks very good...and beside it's GTI model...WOW

Yeah, there are lots of pink ones... They used to be red, a short time ago, but someone forgot to get the polish out every weekend!!!

Well 300's never originally came in pink, but a red one left in the sun too long ends up a nasty pink ;)

EDIT: Your just too quick Chris ;)

This man got so affected by pinky-itis, he swapped his car. He really didn't take it well, became irritable everytime someone mentioned the P work, as you can see, he still has symptoms!
