Mk1 Golf in brief so far

[Laura]

this wont ever get sold

unless i crash it, its a keeper, tbh it will just go in the garage and get used when and as i fancy it

 

[Kane.]

Fair play. I've set my sights a lot higher though... Type 2

[Saner]

But Type 2's are Fugly

 

[Djw Dave]

It'll be sold by the summer... and she'll be buying a VX220.

lols

 

[WTFRage360]

Absolutely fantastic build, I'm really impressed and will be watching and waiting with a burning anticipation. lol

 

[Laura]

think ive decided on a set of these wheels now
bit different

 

[Kneel]

oh ohh, the Rota haters will be on that in force

 

[Alex H]

Good progress!

 

[Jason_E]

Nice choice of wheels! Just don't tell Malice or Christopher.

 

[Laura]

well this has turned into one epic nightmare, the garage where its been for the last 4 months have decided they no longer have the time to do it...

so now its going to go to another garage in kent, Southern Style then from there its hopefully going to littleknocks in surrey for paint then i get it back

 

[Rob]

I'm not sure what help I could be, but if you need any in the kent area, then ask away.

 

[Laura]

thanks mate . i THINK im sorted for now unless u have money u dont want? haha

[Christopher]

All that time and effort to fit fake wheels.

[Gaz.]

Laura!

LOL. Sign of the times, they're all over now in the UK.

 

[Laura]

Rotas are a no go now. Was getting them at a good price but now I can't so screw them lol

 

[ch!ppen]

Doesn't matter if they're 'fakes' anyway lol. Do they look good... Yes. So doesn't matter

What wheels have you got in mind now?

 

[Laura]

ATM it will be the e30 wheels I have in the shed purely because this f**king around will have cost me my wheel budget.

 

[Laura]

right well update time.

it all kicks off tomorrow when the car gets delivered to Jack and Dan at Southern Style ( http://en-gb.facebook.com/pages/Garage-Southern-style/315920941177?sk=info )

going to be a bit of a messy one for them unfortunately as a few parts are missing now. the main one being the heater matrix, so wont actually have any heaters when it comes back :S but im not too worried about that.

few guages that dont actually have any where to be mounted yet but again if they can get the wiring sorted i can do the fab rication no problemo

from there it goes to the paint shop then home to me

Heaters are for girls.

Plus summer is coming. Although by the time you get it back you'll have missed the 3 days of sun you northerners get and you'll be back to rain and a morning frost.

 

[Laura]

haha i figured a travel hair dryer will be enough for now

should be back with me before the start of april!! best birthday present

 

[Christopher]

Southern Style?

It'll come back covered in scars and zipties! lol

 

[Laura]

yeah its a garage down in ashford.

im sure there will be to odd zip tie lol

 

[MaLicE]

LOL good luck with southernstyle... i saw a car they did and WOW! if you want cheap and nasty bodges then im happy for you.... fact that you could see hammer marks in the chassis where they had smashed it with a hammer for tyre clearance said alot....

 

[Laura]

jacks actually a friend of mine.

i trust them, its not a drift car they know that. tbh there isnt much u can f**k up on it now, and it was the last option before i cut my losses and broke the whole thing
this way i get my brum brum back fully working

 

[davo172]

Wont be seeing it at Ultimate Dubs on sunday then ?

 

[Laura]

[Ali]

Hope they do a good job, would be a shame given the ammount of work gone into it.

well for your sake i hope he does nice work as some of the stuff i have seen him do is f**king shocking and straight up s**t lol! i know someone who bought a shell off of him and WOW! he may as well not bothered buying it, it was that fucked up and basically trash lol!

 

[Laura]

[Revels]

RED!

 

[Laura]

[jesus]

Blue!

 

[Gaz.]

Black. I guarantee some c**t will mucky your white one.

 

[Laura]

 

[Laura]

carpet and headlining ordered
went for blavk n black will be dark but i figured it will hide any mistakes in refitting the headlining better haha!! seeing as its a 8 hour job for people that actually know what they are doing!

 

[david hodson]

8 hours to do the carpet and headlining is it a hard job?
are they pre cut?

 

[Dweeb]

ive always wanted one of these
