Hello everybody,
I already introduced myself in the Dutch Forum, and here I am again!
My name is Bernhard, and I am from the Netherlands.
My car is a ’85 VW Golf 2. The car was bought by a dealer by my grandfather. He had the car for about 17 years. Unfortunatly, he passed away and my grandmother didn’t drive the car anymore because of the powersteering, or better: the lack of it!
After that the car stayed in the family and then I got it! ( yeeh yeeh yeeh)
The current mileage is 106.000 km.. ( about 65.000 miles)
Here is a picture of me when I was about the age of 5 with my Golf:
When I got the car in 2009 it looked like this:
Because I am a student I told myself I wasn’t lots and lots of money on the car, but the VW virus is getting the better of me .. Still no BBS rims and stuff, but just decent mods.
When I got it, I put in some audio. HU, speakers front and back and a subwoofer.
In the beginning I didn’t want to change to much on the car, so I started with rims and giving the bumpers some fresh paint:
Golf with demounted bumper + rims
Freshly painted bumpers + I also mounted GTI rearlights
After a while the frontgrill bursted, so a new one had to replace it. I wanted something different so I choose a single headlight grill.
Then some small changes, a centerconsole and a wax.
After a while I removed the NL sticker on the back:
The GTI rearlights had to make place for red-white ones.
Then I went to VW Outlaws, a VW meeting in the Netherlands. Some rolling shots and a collone movie

Also US Lights and a VW sticker
In january I bought a springcoilset ( right? )
Then,
My reartires began to wear out, so I started looking on the internet and found a set of wheels with 4 fresh tires, so bought that..
In front of old wheels:
And this is how my car is at the moment:
My uncle’s company..
My plans are licenseplates with thick letters and a original hoodboard.
That was me and my car, see you on the forum!
