Decided to go back to my roots today. Simple old school Volkswagen’s. There is just something about the beautiful, simple lines of the small bumper mk2. It says a lot when you don’t have to do much to make a car look really good. The example below is basically a stock mk2 with a drop and a rare set of BBS wheels and a clean body. That’s it. And I could honestly stare at it forever. Beautiful.
It takes a lot of dedication to completely restore a car. It takes even more dedication to restore a car when it’s difficult to find parts in your country. The small bumper MK2 in this video is my favorite build of all time when it comes to second generation golfs. It is really perfect in every aspect. Nothing was overdone, and every single part was replaced, OEM. It’s really great to see people from around the world with the same passions and building incredible cars.
Props.
I apologize for the lack of posts the last two days. I have been so busy with the team, projects, events, SNTRL, etc. If you guys haven’t already, check out SNTRL’s new site. To say we have a lot of new things planned for it is a understatement. Keep your eyes open for dopeness throughout the whole year.
Anyways, if you have followed my blog for the past year, you know I’m a huge Stephen Brooks fan. Every video he puts out isn’t the same boringness you see from everyone else. I won’t name, names. But this video was great for a couple reasons. Firstly his editing style, it’s something we can all learn from. Secondly the car is rocking “zero lip” wheels, which is a growing trend across the pond. Very controversial to say the least. I personally think it’s dope. It’s different. It pushes boundaries. It’s what the community needs. Props to the owner for doing something different, despite all the crap he’s getting for it. Besides the car is beautiful in itself.
FYI- the wheels are “rotiformed” BBS E50’s.
This MK2 to me is the perfect daily driver. Clean, fresh paint, a serious drop, small bumpers, and a simple yet effective set of wheels. After I found this picture I was looking HARD in the MK2 forums for a clean shell. Man, I can stare at this car all day.
