VW Golf Cabriolet

Work Completed: Rusted rear wheel arch patched with parts from a replacement wheel arch, stock suspensions replaced with adjustable aftermarket coilovers, wheels refurbished by repainting the wheel and diamond-cutting the rim, electric convertible roof re-wired, cracked windscreen replaced, leather seats recolored, exterior polished. Notes: Limited edition "Color Concept" variant with yellow paint and trim. Bought on behalf of Marc as it reminds him of his very first car, a bright yellow Volkswagen Beetle. Seller provided a brand-new replacement windscreen as part of the deal. Marc noted the car's rarity, as there are only 4 bright yellow Golf of similar type is still on the road. Mike introduced the process of connollising, a leather restoration method named after the Connolly Leather. In order to enable the convertible top to work, Marc re-wired the mechanism so the roof can only be lowered if the driver steps on the brake pedal.
