Mk1 Golf in brief so far

[Winston]

8x14's are the perfect size for a mk1 imo... well maybe push to 9's on the back. :approve:

<3 wheel shopping... Don't rush into anything tho.

 

[Laura]

im not, i wont be buying anything till ive finalised costs on getting it on the road

 

[Laura]

carpet n headling arrived in the biggest box ever!! glad i didnt get it delivered to work lol

 

[Laura]

some inspiration

 

[Christopher]

Chosen your wheels yet?

 

[Laura]

no point choosing untill i have the pennies to buy lol

 

[Nafoff]

no harm in browsing for ideas...

 

[Laura]

ive seen a few i like but as they will be 2nd hand no point getting to giddy on a set just for them to be sold

although i have looked at image 2 peice wheels, although im really very dubious after my last experience with them

 

[Nafoff]

year good point on both counts
i have still had no problems at all with my images... so so happy i went for satin black though

 

[Laura]

i just really dont want to go through the same ordeal as i did last time, they were horenndos sp* and thier customer service was shocking

 

[Nafoff]

yeah fair play

 

[Laura]

but i do keep looking at these

 

[Nafoff]

you looked at revolution wheels?

 

[Laura]

yeah but they too square, n they are one peice, i like the stepped dish look

 

[Nafoff]

fair point

You wouldn't ruin it by putting red wheels on it surely!

 

[Ali]

What about Halibrands?

Thats the pic on the website, you can have them any colour you want, or polished

 

[Laura]

What about Halibrands?

[Ali]

Schmidt TH Lines 8.5 rear 8 on front should work nicely

do you have £1000 you want to give me? lol

 

[aldo_87]

why havent i noticed this build before! Amazing progress, will be awesome when its finished!

 

[Laura]

fingers crossed,

need to organise the oainting for one day next week

 

[Jason_E]

Where did you get the carpet from and how much? I just need a front one really. Crazy Quiffs seem the most competitive.

 

[Laura]

newton commercials, thats where crazy quiffs get thiers from

 

[Elfy]

do you have £1000 you want to give me? lol

lol no sorry i sold mine for £800 professionally polished with tyres last year, have a look on edition and wheel whores for some bargains

 

[Baggaley90]

Looks sweet looking forward to seeing the finished product!

 

[Laura]

after a quick conversation with image i still feel they feel i was being unreasonable about my last set of wheels, and really dont want to be helpful.

so purely on a customer service based desicion i think ill probably pass, i cant rish like another grand to have another shite set of wheels, if they had made an effort id be a bit more tempted

 

[Christopher]

Equip 03's

Push the boat out.

 

[Laura]

the boat has already been pushed on this car, its now so far out to sea i almost cant see it.

i dont even want to cost up the total figure and its not even done yet!!

 

[Jason_E]

My mate James' on work equips and airride.

 

[Laura]

they look far too big for the car imo

 

[Laura]

id love to update you on this but i cant get an update... i think they have cut it up lol

 

[Laura]

1, 2 , arghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

so now £500 down the line i still dont have a car that fecking works!!

 

[Winston]

FAIL!!!!

Get it back home so the rocket scientists can work out how it goes together

 

[Laura]

Its being collected tomorrow and dorpped off on friday, feel free to come over lol

 

[Christopher]

WTF is going on?

 

[Laura]

basically i should have known better than to trust a garage to do as they said,

2 garages have taken it on and then decided against it, its not pretty i know that but its not rocket sience.

 

[Ali]

What needs done laura...or rather what are they being put off by?!
