First, find out why the wheels stick out further on one side. Second, fix the headliner. Third, leave the rest of it alone. This is a one-off GTI, and deserves to be cherished. Thanks again, RickGTI…..🇺🇸🌴
@JamieOrr2 жыл бұрын
Agreed! Someone else made the very commonsense suggestion that the car has two back wheels on one side, and two front wheels on the other side, which I had absolutely not thought of, but it sounds like a very reasonable explanation. As well as your perfect suggestions, the big thing is maintenance, it needs a full service to be safe and back on the road :-)

It’s probably not the case but are you sure the reason the drivers front wheel is stuck out more than the other isn’t because that wheel is supposed to be a rear wheel and one on the rear is supposed to be on the front because I’d assume having custom wheels its likely that it’s got different offsets front and rear I mean I’m sure that’s not the case but anyway looks like it’s going to be a cool project

I agree about the beautiful interior being shown off! Might I suggest doing a clear film, like LLUMAR’s Air80 instead? It’s an almost clear ceramic film that will help protect the interior from harmful UV and has great heat rejection, considering there’s no charcoal color to it.

I wouldn’t worry too much about the front wheels, it’s pretty common for the time as there’s some mechanical wiggle room for each car when it comes off the assembly line. My Mk5 has something similar, drives mint! No issues. As long as the car isn’t pulling to one side, you should be fine. Hope this helps

I don't recall the year, 92/93 maybe, there was an abundance of MK3's Golf's in the parking lot. First time laying my eyes on them outside of a magazine. I don't remember the exact location of the facility, could have been different from what was discussed here, but it was north of Los Angeles which is where Oxnard is.
