Yeah, it's gold. And it smells of warm horse sperm.

[chriscummins7]

proper pikey mobile, but it's got a lot of character mate!

 

[Jason_E]

Exactly! You knows it.

 

[Jason_E]

If I ever have the money for a proper respray, I want it in that colour. Selvas green. Quite rare!

 

[Philip.]

Thats cool ^

 

[Rob]

Would it not be cheaper to buy another and sell yours as opposed to spraying it?

 

[StephenJ]

Bloody awful colour ^

Finding one with a shell as solid as mine and in the colour I want - Near on impossible. Considering there are only 4 Golfs known in the UK in Selvas green, too. That Golf I posted the last page (Light Blue one) is up for £8k atm. MK1's are big money.

I'm lucky that I have one with such a solid shell, it's a fantastic base for someone (hi) to play around with, tidy up and throw a new engine in.

WRONG.

 

[Scrooge]

Oh my....spaff spaff

 

[Jason_E]

That's what I did. It's slap-your-face sexy.

 

[adele_90]

[Laura]

I want a mk1

[Scrooge]

That's what I did. It's slap-your-face sexy.

What I want to know is how have I not seen one before, that car make me happy in my pants!

 

[Jason_E]

Yeah, I get you. If I'm honest I'd much prefer something like the MK1 Jetta on the last page, but until I can afford a respray I'm just gunna have a laugh with it.

Yeah People keep nagging me and I did a shop (didn't save it though) and it did look better.

gets better and better!

We only made 4 for us lot, I'll see if Ben has any of the small versions left (About the size of your normal "Scene" rear window sticker).

So.Much.Win.

Thanks

Plus eleventy.

Looks good though mate.

Haha, thanks. Don't worry, I can afford a tin for the rack I'm sure. I'm doing a composites course this week though so don't have much time!

 

[chriscummins7]

Looks awesome mate!

 

[Marc.]

Gotta say Jason, I wasn't a massive fan of your Boring. But for a reason that escapes me, I really really like this! Looking forward to seeing it in the flesh at some point.

 

[Jason_E]

Cheers! Once the new engine is in (My next big project after my holidays) I hope to be driving it about a lot more, to shows and meets etc. So hopefully some of you will have get a glorious wiff of old.

 

[Jason_E]

Just thought I'd bump this as I've had 101 people asking me just WHERE ON EARTH they can get one of the Mahooosive Try Harder stickers.

Well, Ben finally came through and got s**t sorted so now our blog.... has a shop!

http://www.lowlifeuk.com/store/

I'd hate to update this thread without pictures... So.

Well the other weekend I went to DC11. Which, btw, is a fantastic German show! If you haven't been, you've missed out and should go to DC12. Anyway, on route I did have to stop due to the fact my coolant was a bit low (Has been like this a while, but it never bothered me). Car was overheating a wee bit but oh wellzzzz. I was proud that mine wasn't the first stop on the short journey though, Zi's tyre was flat and we had to pull over in a layby. The road surface would have been familiar to any Bahgdad resident...

When I got there the guy forced me and Zi to go on the show ground, neither of us had clean cars but he properly insisted. Here's a few pictures off of Facebook etc that I've found of meh shed!

Oh, and Kev (Known as BeefDogg) also gave me this....

YUS!

 

[ekaJ]

Looks awesome tbh!

Mind asking where you sourced the car from and how much twas?

 

[Tunst]

I love this car..

I need some Mk1 Love, you going to do anymore to the wing?

 

[Aluco]

You go back in time every time you look at the colour. lol.

I spat out my milkybar button (GIANT)

CrazyQuiffs. MK1 Golf specialist. The Car was about a grand but it owes me a lot more!

No idea, my mate goes back to canada soon and neither of us can be bothered. Plus I'm planning on getting another car and garaging this so I can properly restore it. Who knows! Depends if I can get a good job yet, if not I'll do the second year of my course.

 

[Scrooge]

I like this more and more I come into this thread.

 

[Djw Dave]

Still love it!

 

[Jason_E]

Ha! You are kind. Keep looking for a cheap Derv daily. Clio DCi would be ideal but they are so f**king expensive! How can a car thats so uncool compared to mine be more?

 

[Gaz.]

Probably because it will start every morning, despite being French.

Rubbish, you're all rubbish. My car has broken down once. Considering the last time it was used on the road was about 1997, I'm pretty impressed with that.

Anyway, whilst drunk the other night I decided to compile a "To-do list". Ignore the spelling errors, but it gives you an idea of some of the crap that needs doing ASAP.

Still to do, on the shed.
• Fix the wiper, so it stops twatting the bottom of the screen.
• New rear wiper, so I can see the c**t in a saxo VTR behind tailgate me.
• Do something with the paint, even if it’s a rattle can job.
• New dash, one that isn’t sun damaged and cracked.
• Work out why the rear drivers side light needs a Fonze style bang to get it to turn on every time. Eeehhh
• Clean up the rear lights
• Sort out the little bits of surface rust etc.
• Make new easy to remove front plate bracket.
• Sort out archwork.
• Sort out the front grille, new clips etc.
• New engine. So I don’t get overtaken by techtonic plate movement.
• Better brakes to go with the new engine, so I don’t plough through a line of school kids.
• New pedal rubbers, so my feet don’t sleep off the pedals and cause the above.
• Paint roofrack satin black? Maybe?
• Reinforce parcel shelf so it doesn’t keep falling through the boot.
• Clean the crap out of it.
• Get rid of the “necrophiliac’s orgy” smell.

.

It's pretty much on it's last legs though, engine wise.

 

[Jason_E]

Most of my mates have looked over it and think it's fine, personally, I agree with you. The work that I'd put into making that engine run better would be better put to use throwing in a Polo GT lump on some BWARPalicious carbs.

Oil is coming up the breather pipe into the air filter, the timings out, the carb needs tuning and other little niggles. I think I would benefit from a newer, faster engine. Oh, and the 5 speed box!
