Absalutly love the car and colour! How much you pay for it?

love a mk1.. cant wait to see the bits on.

1st shot 1 rabbit

2nd shot 1 rabbit

3rd shot 3 rabbits

..... are u breedin them?

I'm cross-breeding them, a bit of genetic mutation never hurt anyone

cheers for all the positive comments above fellas :)

been stripping the golf in the time being, heres some pics

hopefully arranging collection for project muppet this weekend but I'm struggling to get hold of a trailer in the walsall area as a friend who lives locally to their has offered to drive it up to manchester for free!

just off out to whip the short shift kit and front arb off, the water inside the car was from a leaky heater matrix, which sods law dictated i only changed six months ago. morale there is, if it aint broke dont fix it.

Does anyone know if the hubs are the same for small block mk1s, ie can i use my gti hubs and wishbones on project muppet, it means i can just take the complete coilover strut/hub/brakes and wishbone off in one go for swapping over :-D

also after a spare rear axle to get shot blasted and powdercoated, want to build it up with mk4 rear discs and a proportion valve.

having a massive clearout, parts here

woke up with an absolutely banging head today after going out on a piss up with three canadian lassies last night, however i managed to actually wake up at a sensible time and have a well productive day

first up, removing the rear coilies and wheels off the red golf

half arsed cleaning attempt :p

project muppet landed on me doors so i gutted the inside as it was choc-full of parts.

look at me spare room now

will sift through it tonight or tomorrow and do an inventory and picture everything seperatley

project muppet was looking a lil worse for wear after sitting in a garage for the last year or so, so a good wash and wax was desperatly needed, beena also got her first wash in about 3 months no waxing tho, will wax it tomorrow, then her car cover comes monday so she can hibernate till the summer.

anyway some pics of the cleaned muppet

pics of the classics, I'm after 14x7 or 8s if anyones up for a swap + cash either way. will sell outright if anyones after em

195/45/13s each tire be a diff make yoko a539, conti, fulda and assuro, all got plenty of meat.

picked up a new steering wheel and boss today for 35 nicker, already had a boss in the muppet so wheels got swapped over.

Whipped the classics off the front to nosey as the brakes and suspension

Stuck the lorbers on the front for the time being until i start/finish swapping the coilies tomorrow,

also fitted the debadged grille with the rabbit badge that came in ze post

and one of the carbless engine bay, i shall be spending tomorrow cleaning it up with some degunk if i can find it.

well thats all for now cos I'm knackered and need to grab dinner mmm

Looking good dude bet youre buzzing you finally have it home :-D

Has Vince still got mr grinder at work? i`m going to call up for it tomorrow (i need that rear dropping more damn it ) and will call round yours to have a nosey at muppet if youre in?

just text vincey boy to find out now, aye ill be in tomorrow, if you come round bring your pikey strut tool, ill need it for me fronts

and yessss I'm proper buzzing, it looks even better in the dark and cos its got the 15s on the fronts and 13s on the rear its draggin its ass like a motherbitch

I have it in my boot along with all the other half ton of crap, to make the rear sit lower

Give me a text when you find out if he has it there

May aswell chop-age the spring-age when I'm at yours if thats cool? :-)

Edited 15 March, 200818 yr by walshc

wow the black rims against the green look sooo nice! and if this ends up like beaner then its gna be bloody nice.

woke up late today, walshie dropped by to get chop happy on the nova loons springs.

anyway fitted the fks onto the rear of muppet and the jamex springs/shocks onto beena.

rear shocks coming off

coilies on rear

whipped front hub assembly, coilover strut and 256mm G60s off beena

whipped the same off the muppet

but was faced with a gayored outer cv, (this is why it was a pain to push the car onto the drive)

so whipped off the driveshaft, got a couple in the house so will measure them up later tonight, hopefully one will be reet! gotta clean up the two drivers side hub assemblies and spin the adjuster rings down a bit, then tomorrow can finish swapping over the coilies/brakes.

probably wont bother bleeding the brakes just yet, as i may be fitting a 22mm mc and servo, might need to fit a gti brake linkage bar.

loads more jobs to do but plenty of time. woo

Had a good mincing session today dude :-D

Yousaf has started on the colour coding green cable ties pimp

lol walsh, thats how the muppet likes it, on top. lol

anyway some piccies

and a couple of walshie in action saying bye bye to some helper springs

Golf is lookin very nice with the coilovers and black wheels!!!

Few pics i took of the muppet

Cocking a leg or 2

Looking good on black wheels

Theres a Yousaf under there, getting fruity again

It looks mint in the dark, the paint kind of glows, i tried to capture it here, but i failed

Blimey, changed so quickly....you're bustin a flex out fella!!!!!

hahahahaha lmao at flex out, flexmaster flex

didnt do much today get wasted with mates and play halo, but got a chance to whore some pics, gave some bits a quick clean with some degunk, will attack some more tomorrow if i can be arsed woopagio

coilies need to go alot lower on the back and a bit on the front

and some of the cleaning

lazy day really but still , watching the f1 now proper comedy two crashes and some geezer gettin mangled in a rear wing lol

found out today the engine is a JB which is a 1.5 70bhp lump.

have sourced a weber 32/36 DTML, k&n filter and EZ inlet manifold to run a 4 pin carb. If the weber turns out to be too expensive i have a pooberg 2e2 which i can put on...

although looking at the current inlet manifold it was made by satan himself with the two most inaccessible bolts holding it to the head.....

anyway got the rear interior fitted today and some of the speaker wiring laid down, also fitted the harness pre-tensioners, still got to wire them up, but I've got a 4 way power distribution block for the stereo,central locking,amp etc.

anyway some pics of the interiay

undecided as to cover the suspension turrents in carpet or leave them green, ill also be getting a rear strut brace to ideas as to colour code it or paint it black please?!

could even go white to match the wheels when they are painted and the white headlining (which is already fitted)

also turns out the engine mount is that of the large block engine so my gti engine will drop straight in, the 5 speed box will need a small bit of modifying to fit along with the complete gti gear linkages, however I've got a full missinglinks short shift kit for that job :)

on a trip to derby today or tomorrow to see chaz and pick up some 14 inch mini g60 steels, crystal cross-hairs and some m3 rear lights (not for the muppet, for beena, but mainly to sell, swapping std rears for ebaylicious goodies :p )

what happened just under the rear bumper? looks like someone has cut it out
