Hello, My name is Ken Engrie(pronounced: Angry), I'm a 20 year old Belgian. I've been active in the dutch section for a while, but it figured: what the hell, let's post it in the international section as well.

Back in march 2009, I bought my Golf mk2 gti 8V, my first road car. With the littile budget I had left, I tried fixing it up...

After a lot of doubting hether I should keep it or not, I decided to restore it!

Got to work the same day, and 2 days later, there wasn't much left:
