Mk1 Golf in brief so far

[Slammed172]

Coming along well.

 

[Budgie]

Awesome work!

 

[LFCJosh]

dont see the resemblance in the viva guy tbh lol

cars gonna be sik though
hittin the shows in the summer?

 

[Hixle]

I see they opted for VW Fox suspension here?

Good work Laura, keep it up!

 

[MATT BLACK]

2 vr6 engines here we come

No need for 2 VR6's ( unless your doing it for show ) when a well tuned AGU will give same power. Mate that up to GT30/40 an 02J with a quaiffe LSD + launch and you will have a 10 sec motor.

I have a 500 hp capable AGU for sale btw ..... bored to 1.9 JE pistons / IE rods / lightened balanced solid flywheel, paddle clutch etc etc - bare lump just needs blower, injectors, management + dressing.

 

[Laura]

tbh matt i think it will just be for show... if it ever actually gets done. if chris does it then it will if jimmy has anything to do with it it wont lol

Good project

 

[Laura]

my new clocks arrived the other week

direct fit into the standard gti centre console

prepping for paint has now started red bloody rust everywhere!!
came in on moday and a door had magic'd its self onto the car... i was very impressed the car has started putting itself back together haha!

the old one was rotten at the botton and this one is better so christopher decided to fit it for me

after lots of sanding

the door has for some reason been half sprayed in white ... i was a little worried it was covering some rust of dodgey repair up but nope... all sanded back fine

wow you can see how much dust there is... i finally invested in a face mask after coughing up god knows how much crap. cant be healthy

The other side

This was the roof!
yummy... not been washed in years and by the looks of it never polished haha

SAND SAND SAND

velvet looking roof

and the workshop doodle pad

couple more essential bay pics... almost 100% there now

 

[fUbAr]

i do get bored sometime but the drive knowing that when its done you can say i did that! is cool,

almost everything about it will be different or changed very subtly, cant wait for the 1st time i can drive it...

sure it will probably break down the 1st time tho haha

 

[koi]

I know what you mean, when i finally finshed my tubby clio i was well chuffed.

Although some cold nights it would get so frustating, i would have punched John in the face for asking if i wanted a cuppa. :lolup:

 

[Leah]

what a great project! id love to do this...but i have neither time, money or skills!

 

[Laura]

[Laura]

They are a tempory solution, although i do like them they are not mine, they are my friends, were an 18th birthday present but he said i can do what i want to them and use them as long as i like, i have seen some BBS i like but they are a tad expensive
