The Golf 3 is the least loved Volkswagen in the world right now. However, it's now about 25 years old, has a nice-sounding motor (the VR6), and might become collectible in a few years. If that happens, we want to inspire a custom build like this one.
Stranger things have happened. Prices for the Jetta from the Fast & Furious movies have gone up several times. So is there anything interesting about the Golf 3? Well, it was the first Volkswagen with integrated bumpers. That means they're an integral part of the body instead of being added on top like on the previous models.
Features were a big part of what made this popular. Crash safety improved, and the Golf 3 became available with airbags. It had air conditioning, powered windows. If you're German, your dad probably drove one and enjoyed his techno music on the cassette player.
There are lots of cool body kits for the Golf 2, but none for the Mk3 model. This project thus belongs to the digital world. Andreas Richter created his own probably inspired by the Pandem/Rocket Bunny look.
The fender flairs wrap around the existing body, creating room for a larger set of wheels. Those look like the classic Fifteen52 design, a perfect balance between classic styling and drift technology.
Rather than taking a traditional route of WRC racing, this Golf seems to be chopped for going sideways. The livery is firmly set in the D1 scene while a massive supercharger sticks out through the hood. I don't think we're in Wolfsburg anymore!
The classic 2.8-liter VR6 is nice, but it's laid out the wrong way if you want to go drifting. Better swap that out for a V8. And while we're at it, those dated headlights can just give way to a couple of LED bars.
