1991 Volkswagen Golf Country
I bought my Country about 3 years ago and since then I have been restoring it. About 3000 of these countrys were made, so it can be said that it is relatively rare car. It has a custom made oettinger petrol engine with all the documentation from oettinger factory.
I bought my Country about 3 years ago and since then I have been restoring it. About 3000 of these countrys were made, so it can be said that it is relatively rare car. It has a custom made oettinger petrol engine with all the documentation from oettinger factory. Engine was drilled in 1989 from a 1.8 litre 72kw (95hp) to a 2.0 litre 90kw(120hp), it has bigger valves, diesel camshaft (266°). I have restored almost all of the technical side, replaced almost every part. I upgraded the 4wd system, I got rid of the Syncro vacum switch and replaced a bewel gear( used in vw t3 vans) which basically holds the diffs in work and gives a fulltime 4wd (also in reverse gear). So now the visco clutch locks the diffs, the faster wheels slip, the faster all of the four wheels spin (almost like a lsd diff, but better). Car needs bodywork, I have all the new parts, basically a New left side of the car( doors, fenders etc).Car is waiting for welding(money problems). Just got my bbs rz’s a new paintjob.It is my daily car and I really like it, little beast which smokes 100kw bimmers :D. So what do think guys yay or nay?
PS. Better pictures coming this week, stay tuned!

Kas sellest oli/on vw klubis teema ka? Näinud nagu kuskil :)
On küll jah ;)
Absolute yay from me. Always liked golfs and also like the country very much.
Eks too see isend ka mõnele üritusele ka välja. tahaks lähemalt ka näha :)
Hetkel pole aega üldse vahest vw kogunemistel käin ;)
Väga kobe auto sul ;)
Tänud, eks ta pärielus nii clean pole pluss eile sõitis üks naine külje pealt sisse, kuid countryga ei juhtunud midagi. Aga eks auto täieneb kogu aeg ;) kindlustus maksab tööd kinni mis avariiga juhtus ;)
Engine pics !
Engine bay is pretty dirty at the moment, but I can do them today :)
My brother has its modern cousin! The VW Polo Cross!
Nice!
I’m not even a VW fan and I find that amazing looking like an offroad version of the golf nice upgrade i think it would look better with slightly bigger tires tho
The problem with bigger tires is that the wheel arches are the same size as regular mk2 arches. Perfect would be 215/75 r15 but then I have to do some modifications. At the moment tires are 195/65 r15. But we’ll see what the future brings ;)
Esimene eestlane keda näen
Are you Estonian or the pictures are just taken in Estonia? Because the licensplate is Estonian. BTW: I ask because i live in estonia and i saw this awesome machine!
Yes Estonian ;)
wow, this thing is awesome! Great work and taste!
Thanks!
It’s an awesome car. My dad has one but it’s GTI swapped. I’d like to make a little correction to your text. About 7000 of these were built.
