MK1 Golf built in 83 bought in '03 and and still not completed!!!

Thank you

 

Took the car for its MoT yesterday ,sailed straight through with no advisorys,so celebrated by having a blat through the Kent countryside and along the seafront for a pose!!!

 

Well I'm not going to lie today has been hell!! all though 5 mins jobs have taken nigh on 8hrs!!!!!

Autocavan brake bar installed and working after,welding,cutting ,rethreading etc etc



Solid rack mounts fitted (massive pain in the **** job) and now I cannot get first gear need to adjust linkages




Autocavan rear mount at last a easy job

 

Looking good collo , some nice parts on your motor.. how does she handle ?

Well I would love to give you a amazing update on how I have done this and that,but basically I've done sod all apart from drive it twice!!!!

 

New wheels arrived this week will fit them Friday but I purchased some Compomotive TH2 7x16" with Yoko Parada 195/45x16 to replace the Fuchs I had fitted and Cookie Cutters have been replaced with some 2nd hand Rimstar 5 spokes with ET of 18,that now have my ACB 10's fitted

 

Love love love TH2s, but looks like it says 7x16 from here...

 

Ooops my bad your right thats 7 x16"

 

Spent the day with the entire Autoglym range or so it felt and fitted new wheels

 

i kinda like but dont like the wheels it looks more motorsport which i like but the old rims were proper lush lol

all the same i love the car cant wait to see it again next week you coming up on friday morning convoy stylee if so ill grab some ear plugs lol

 

Become a bit of a Autocavan Junkie and last year acquired a WRC rear mount and a Super brake bar, and today this,probably paid to much but hey ho its only money!!

 

Well worth it - doing the gearbox mount too ?

 

Gearbox mount already fitted!!

 

looking very good mate . love it !

 

this is such a lovely car, cant wait to see it in the flesh somewhere

 

Love the car!
Can't believe i've not seen it about..... i live in Herne Bay too.
Do you get down to the track days at Lydden at all?
Got a Mk2 track/road car myself. Have to go out for a blat one sunday morning next summer maybe?
