Hello everyone.
My name is Michael and I am from Greece. Some of you may have seen my main project over the net, here and there, an Audi A4, till lately with a 1,8T engine, making 700hp more or less, then converted into an OEM RS4 body, and currently undergoing a 2JZ swap. Yes, you read it correctly.
Some pics of its story, in case you like it too.
A Video I made after the RS4 OEM Conversion

And the car next to its next engine
However, this thread is about my daily drive. It is a Golf MK5 in anthracite grey bought sometime ago and always in the family. I had it in the past for track use, however when I took over my Audi, I let this one stay in the family, although I always liked it for me. Just bought a new A3 TDI some days ago, so this one, had to come back to my hands and become my daily commuter.
Here are some photos taken of it. I think you will like what I will do with it.
Started like this.
A lot of dirt on the car and non care signs by my father
So I gave it some TLC to change that.
Started by debadging it for a clear rear end.
Then a small detail..from this
To this
Removing unnecessary weight
And after a detail session with the known procedures,car got some of its old dignity back.
RS4 replicas, soon to be replaced
Some scratches and swirls under the Golf and Gt logo.
Nothing my sweet Kestrel can cope with - some DA love with 3M Extra Fine Compound
Perfect!
Then it was time to do something I had also done in the past - de-wipering the rear end
Now we are getting somewhere
