Hello Eurodrivers, some of you may know that I picked up a winter beater in September... figured I should make a thread for it. So this is my Indian Red 1993 Golf GL with a 1.9 turbo diesel engine! I'm pretty excited about this car, I've never owned a diesel before and boost is always fun haha.
So, the car was pretty much stock when I got it, but a few tasteful mods were done by the PO
-euro flare kit
-GTI rear beam and disc brakes
-boost pin from a 1.6 injection pump to increase fueling, also boost turned up to match
-sidemount intercooler setup from a Mk4(?) TDI, as these cars did not come with and intercooler from the factory
This was the first day I had it, didnt take long before i started screwing around with it.
First, I threw on the oem grille immediately. I also threw on a wind deflector ive had laying around for ages... It does a good job at hiding some chips and that gross dent on the hood. My yellow mk3 originally came with a set of Hella dual round headlights but they didnt really suit the styling of that car. So, I painted the faces black, tinted some lights and paired with the euro amber turns, I think they suit this TD much better!
Next up, since its my winter beater, I decided that this one should be lifted.. so I lifted it..
Ive made quite a bit of progress since, but that will have to be saved for another post.
