I am actually using my friends SN because mine (vortex layover) doesn't let me post.

Anyway. I actually have a 95 GTi VR6 but absolutly love what you guys are doing over here. Expecially interior wise. And just looking to do some sort of the same. So I'm not asking for pics, just opinions.

Does it get annoying? What do the girls say? (just give em a back hand?) hahaha
I am going to take my carpet and headliner and all that out, and get rid of a tad more wiring and a few other things, and just throw some paint back there. But I want to be able to go back to stock if absolutly needed.

So let me know what you think of the car and drop some opinions of gutted interiors. Good or Bad!

 

well, it all depends IMO gutted looks good with some cars, nice car tho, looks pretty good

EDIT* first post, kick ***.

 

If you're gutting.... TINT

 

in my opinion, if you are going to gut your car, you should paint the inside, like i did mine:

looks sweet.
my car is gutted in the rear, its started to annoy me during winter because my i have to scrape ice off the outside and inside of windows other than that i prefer having no interior. I do always get people moaning that it only has two seats tho.

 

I hate vw's but I think that one looks great , fully gutted here as a weekend warrior.

go for it~

how does ice get inside?!

 

Thanks Jeff. One of my favorites on here. I was going to primer it and gonna to ask a friend if he can throw some paint in there. I'm not looking for perfection, just a clean gut. haha.

 

my car is not completly gutted . just have no rear seats or carpet in trunk . girls dont mind it except when the sit on the cold metal in back ..daily driven

 

Same deal as me right now. I'm thinking just front door panels floor mats and 2 seats.

 

car looks good....go fully gutted if its a weekender

damn thats hot man

 

yes it gets annoying. the chics don't get it. mine has 2 seats,heat,dash

no show car, it is my race car. but daily driver until can get tow truck. have trailer sitting in the drivway(too good of a deal to pass up.)

but hey driving a 1950 lb. ex has it's advantages too

 

If you are going to completely gut it, make sure you are up for all the noise and temp changes that come with it. When I had my 96 GTI, I gutted the rear of the car for autocross duty and this was my daily driver. I didn't mind it to much. It did suck if more than one person wanted to ride with you, or if you had to explain it to a date. My 93 hatch is completely gutted and purely an autocross car. It is noisy, freezing cold in the winter and hot as ball sweat in the summer. I had to daily drive it for a week last year in the winter time when I totaled my GTI and it was not fun at all. I wouldn't mind having a daily driver gutted completely in the back but with the front half of the interior left alone. Just my .02 worth. Did I see a Jetta front end on your GTI?

 

my car was a daily driver it was fully gutted...no heat, no interior pretty much everything out. i personally love it

lighter is faster

 

gut that ****

 

that golf looks like death himself.

 

fully gutted is pretty nasty man
looks like ****,
rattles like ****
you hear every sound the car makes 10fold

just do what i did,
gut the rear interior ,but leave the plastic paneling. looks great, saves weight, still alil rattly.. but not as.

 

my crx was gutted and it ******* sucked!! hahah i mean it was coool and **** but with no interior and azenis to make it worse the road noise was super loud and during the summer with no ac and **** it suckkkkkked soooo bad so i sold it and got a car with heat/ac and full interior.

 

The GTI looks great. Please don't ruin it with a gutted interior. Unless you actually race your car COMPETITIVELY, a gutted interior is pointless.

 

 

you have a jolf!

 

my shots arent as professional... but theres a lot of versatility even with everything being gutted. Road noise is not that bad with decent exhaust (i have worldsport) and the ladies dont care (i run harnesses on both seats) but i have a really chill girlfriend.

Heat stays in the car, and with a proper stereo (i enclosed my rear speakers) it sounds good. As for the paint... mine is done with rattle can and a lot of patience. Dry ice and blow dryers are your friend.

Also, to clean it up more, i took out the gas tank popper thingy and the trunk release. I took out the wires for the light on the headliner, and also removed all the door open/closed sensors.

EDIT:daily driven

 

my dc5 is gutted. just dash and driver seat. can't hear for crap when driving anywhere, but i kinda like it

people always complain when they need a ride. ALWAYS...
