Mk1 Golf in brief so far

[danjf]

oh i love retro!!

 

[Laura]

lol, how much bhp you planning to give it. (sorry not read entire thread word for word so sorry if you have already said.)

dont think i could build one, id have to buy one already done. would be to much of a bad head :S lol.

Cheers, PSJ.

tbh im not so sure on power, not masses but in a car i can actually pick up atm weights nout then should be fairly spirited

engine is 75bhp as standard on the injection
add the bike carbs
add the manifold

will get it tested when its done but its all about bhp per ton lol

1.3 gt engine on carbs should make good power and be pretty brisk in a mk1........
coming along nicely, ever need an extra pair on hands let be know ;-)

thanks

 

[Laura]

ok so started to build up the engine

arty pic lol

with manifold

carbs

Took the blue hose off them and replaced with black to make it fit in better with the colour scheme,

need some trumpets for the carbs tho.. any idea?
cf would be yummy but they are uber expensive!!

[fUbAr]

Nice work. Are you going to be spraying all the panels yourself?

When do you reckon it'll all be finished?

 

[Laura]

undecided yet lol..

depends how well the bay comes out. if well then yes i shall attempt, if no will be going to the body shop

 

[fUbAr]

I'd deffo attempt it yourself. I'm guessing you've got a proper compressor etc?

 

[Laura]

yeah all set up with everything, hense how ive managed to get this far
if it turns out decent ill have a bash at it probably try a wing 1st or something, just the roof im worried about haha
