Mk1 Golf in brief so far

[Laura]

 

[Laura]

yellow is as close as i could get it.. held right up against you can see a slight difference but on the wheels it looks the same , @Danny - haha wheels will go one for a shoot after its MOT and not before, then they will come off and be stored again untill spring

 

[Bondy 172]

Those wheels are gunna look luuuvely on... get em on quick!:approve:

 

[Laura]

well new hazrad switch arrived last night so fingers crossed that solves the indicator problem

 

[Laura]

MOT is booked for inbetween christmas and new year eeeek, my mate is coming to collect it on a recovery truck to save driving it before its had a propper check over, he will then do the timing and MOT test it.. actually kinda nervous. Still need to get this hazard switch on but a series of xmas parties has seen weekends pretty much written off haha

 

[Winston]

Good luck :approve:

 

[Jamie16v]

Once those wheels are it this will look sick, actually its already looking sick! Keep it up <3

 

[Laura]

i think the wheels will 100% change the look of the car so ive saved them till very last

 

[Nafoff]

Good luck :approve:

what he said

 

[Laura]

thanks

 

[Craig.M]

Thats gonna look mint once the wheels are on, good luck with the mot tho

I agree completly. It'll finish it off lovely. Really glad you keep with it. Hope all goes well with the test.

 

[Laura]

well today i fitted the new hazard switch, now i have indicators... but still no hazards grrr. so its either the relay or fuse. but dont want to start pulling fuses out untill i have a load more as they tend to crumble.

also fitted a new steering wheel, the one i had in was nice but not a genuine momo and after the driftworks test where Bon managed to bend one i didnt fancy that so stole this bad boy out of my dads car that hes selling!

 

[Revels]

For someone who loves a camera and makes money from it, you take very few pictures

 

[Turkish]

I'm guessing/hoping that wheel is a temporary measure, looks a bit out of place imo.

 

[Laura]

no the wheels staying, might spreay it black other than that i like it.

if you saw where it was parked youll understand why i can really take any interesting pics n as i cant drive it anywhere there seems little point haha.. soon tho soon!!

 

[MaLicE]

U need a wooden nardi in it... Even if you paint the wheel purple with green spots it will look w**k

 

[Laura]

I would like a wooden one tbh. The standard one is s**t and in the bin who knows may change this one eventually but for now it's fine

I'll be having all the interior re done at some point anyway want recaro pole positions trimmed in oem

 

[Laura]

MOT tomorrow!! eeeek, shes getting picked up tonight, im actually really nervous!!

 

[James23]

Just sat and read all 53 pages! Yes I am bored at work LOL
absolutely epic. major kudos for keeping going with it. end result looks fab!! huge credit to you.
I've got an e30 which I sort of intended making a project out of but have lost interest now and am thinking of selling.

 

[Laura]

thanks.. the amount of times ive lost interest in this is unreal, i left it parked up in kent for 6 months untill i started to miss it.. its kinda like a child to me lol. just kept powering through and hopefully tomorrow ill get the good news and it will all be worth it

 

[JackJack]

Great car! Hopefully the mot goes alright.

 

[Laura]

Well she's gone to the garage! I'm nervous but got some money set aside for anything that needs doing and it's in good hands now

 

[Laura]

well after some last min faffing i sorted to hazard fault yeyy!!!! realised when i went to reverse out that infact my brake lights had indeed gone too, which led me straight back to the fuse box, despite the info on the MK1 OC site saying it was fuse number 9, which was still fine it wasnt it was actually fuse 5.. the joys of having a cross over model eh, Lovely ceramic fuse box.

some of the worlds worst pics just as it was getting ready to go.

 

[Djw Dave]

How'd it get on??

 

[Laura]

Well it needs a few bits doing, nothing major, the timing is now sorted so it starts properly. I took some bits down to him this evening so he can work on it tomorrow n then he will test it. But all in all it's good news I'm very happy and quite chuffed its just a few little bits

[Djw Dave]

Excellent. Cant wait to see it with the new wheels.

 

[Laura]

Not heard anything else back yet, don't think anything will have been done with it being new year n all. Hopefully soon tho!!!

 

[Laura]

starting to miss my golfie now

 

[Djw Dave]

No word yet?

 

[Laura]

dropped a couple more bits off on friday, ( helper spring platforms and some underseal) just waiting the phone call to say come pick it up tbh

 

[Hutchie]

need to see this on the bbs's right now!

 

[Laura]

i need it back 1st.. lol

the lad doing the few bits is struggling to find the time to do them, and with new MOT regs its turning into a bit of a job

 

[James105]

Must have that feeling of "it's so close, yet so far". This has made me pull my finger out and thinking about getting going on my Mk1 again!

 

[Hutchie]

buy him a takeaway flash your goodies at him, just get a ticket :rasp:

 

[Laura]

The guys my ex lol he's had all that before and still dumped my ass.. I'm not still bitter honest lol. Nah he's being a trooper there's alot to double check I guess and little odds n ends that need sorting out, it will be done when it's done

 

[Djw Dave]

It's gonna be awesome.

 

[Laura]

well its all done bar the engine mount, then i can have her back woooo

getting pissed off with random people who say oo ive seen ur car .. it needs alot of work... f**k off ive rebuilt the whole thing myself, it needs a new door n then its practically a new car, alot of work my arse. Its not perfect but jesus what 32 year old car is. Yes it may need a few tweeks here n there but making it sound like a shed makes my blood boil .. rant over
