Mk1 Golf in brief so far

[GrumpyTwig]

Ho about some fuchs?



Maybe not so chrome though.

 

[Winston]

I built 2 MG's sweet cheeks. MGB and an MG midget with my dad when I was a panel beater.

My bad gally

 

[Winston]

Fuchs would go well with the beetle yellow tbh

What are the specs on the rims Laura?

 

[Laura]

Savage ET's but I think they could work.. Are your arches rolled?

You will also need alot of lows to pull them off.. but im working on something that will help you with this

Pricey but he is open to offers.

 

[Laura]

im hoping to get about £350 for my others so we will see.

front arches arnt but can be.. and rears have had the innter lips cup out so just the other skin really

 

[Winston]

I think the fronts will be ok.

tbh they will sit no where near your arches, even fully wound down.

He does say in the ad they are perfect fitment for a Mk1.

 

[Laura]

ah yes but hes nev er actually tried them on a mk1 haha.. i could say my wheels are a perfect fitment.. but they rnt.

i need more lowness at the back to make 13s work

 

[Winston]

With the helpers it should go more than low enough.

Some pics below of my 13's on my old Mk2.

[Laura]

helpers are out at the front already. the rear will be a ball ache as its all tight

 

[Laura]

massive thanks to winston for supplying me with many parts

 

[Jason_E]

Check my thread for a MK1 on 13's tbh! Mines pretty low and I barely get arch scrubbing, currently have the plastic arches on too. They are gorgeous wheels though would suit your car well!

 

[Laura]

i MAY have sold the black wheels for £350 so that gives me a bit of money to play with.

winston kindly donated a fair few parts last night so can do a bit more tonight
may attempt to fit the winscreen :S bets on my breaking it lol

 

[Djw Dave]

I've got a 5er on that not going well! Good luck lozza.

 

[Winston]

Good luck with the screen, lots of heat and lube and you should be ok. I will put a 5er on it going in sweet.

Glad I could help you out with a few niggles. It would have all just sat in boxes for years so happy to see you get some use out of them.:approve:

 

[Laura]

engine bay mostly complete, fitted the new trumpets but there is a slight issue with clearance... lol

so new to i shorten the trumpets or have a new manifold made up to allow them to sit more horizontal??

 

[Laura]

IS IT WRONG IM CONTEMPLATING THE DRASTIC METHOD OF A NEW MANIFOLD? oops caps

 

[-J-]

Looks like to have fitted Bonnet Raisers :rasp:

Id say a new Manifold is the only option really, isn't it?

 

[Laura]

problem is the manifold if the most expensive bit haha, its about £250 as its a bog bros one, ill have a word with my mate see if he can cut it and reweld it at a lesser angle... or i can use the trimmer trumpets ... or cut a hole in the bonnet... lol

 

[Jason_E]

That mani does look pretty awesome. Shame it doesn't fit! LOL

Oh and did you hear? My MK1 is up for sale

 

[Laura]

its just the new trumpets that dont fit, not really the manifolds fault in fairness.

why?

 

[Jason_E]

Don't have the time or money to give my car the rebuild it really deserves. Plus I fancy something big, gay, and comfy. Audi A4 Avant 1.8T is the top of the list so far!

 

[Christopher]

Ugh.

 

[Rob]

Sell out

 

[Winston]

A hole saw was my first thought haha

PS.. Loving the fuel trumpet

 

[Laura]

A hole saw?

Haha temp measure until the pump is done this weekend

 

[Winston]

 

[Laura]

I think 4 separate holes my be a little too much lll

 

[Winston]

Joking aside, please leave the bonnet well alone haha

 

[Laura]

well i signed over my new garage yesterday, so golfie has home once hes finished

only problem is it has a bloody great hole in the roof so need to get onto the council about that today

 

[Laura]

slight change of plan on thisthe idea was to be made road legal and MOTd then to go down to Cardiff to be painted through a sponsor. however its all getting too messy and ive realised i cant rely on the person/ people so its getting done through a contact we use at work so hopefully she will be all painted in the next couple of weeks, then having a chav tastic exhaust custom made then over winter can save for the wheels and then she will emerge next spring

 

[mugglesquop]

Audi A4 Avant 1.8T is the top of the list so far!

thats what i have. and its a Sport model

find me a smaller diesel with Tow Bar (VAG obviously) and we can do a swap

 

[Winston]

Sounds like a plan!!!

 

[Laura]

aye gives me chance to get it looking uber for spring rather than rushing it

 

[Keith185]

Williams style bonnet bulge? Would obviously change the standard OEM look though :/

 

[Laura]

oooo goes off to paint tonight

 

[Scrooge]

Looking forward to the end result now, still staying yellow?

 

[Laura]

yup. getting collected by the body shop tonight about 7.30, so should be back by the end of the week all yellow, just a shame i havnt managed to source another drivers door for it

 

[Laura]

Well it's just gone and

After 3 hours of being sat in rain the inside was piss wet through... Not happy!

 

[Laura]

shes finally gone for paint!!!

the world got a little bit excited
