PPS Subframe & Wishbone Conversion

10mm Lowering Top Caps

G40 Steering Damper

But then someone decided to put a mk1 golf gti small light up for swaps, so hes having the coupe s with std interior so i get to keep my bucket seats, harnesses and pretensioners and the subframe/wishbone conversion, straight swap but I'm putting 6 months tax on it

golfs nice mate, bit rusty/rottern in places, but has potential. I'm sure u will have it sorted. oh and steering wheel is sweet :) i have the same in my mk2 :)

LEE

i think a low as fuck mk2 golf with a 16v conversion done to it would be better for you than that mk1... hint, hint

sweet move tho cock sucker

good too see your have another mk1 like been said a little tatty but I'm sure you will fix it up good

Shit man how did that catch fire? mk1 will look cool

Shit man how did that catch fire? mk1 will look cool

he dropped a hot rock on to his shirt, it burnt through to his belly button, it ignited his button fluff and quickly spread to the seats ect, ect

Good transformation on the red olop Saf It's still red though, meh

Yes, you got it! Whoop! MK1 of love

Argh, that picture hurts Could only happen to you though mate

the golf wont go through a restoration until the lupolos done as I've got to finish that before the summer :nods: but its gonna get the rusty bits cleaned up and por-15d until the end of the month when i can go visit mr welday and get her patched up, gonna be a ratty runabout (in the sense that its my daily and it wont be all one perfect shade of black, no shitty roof racks or other gashness shall adorn this beasty)

probably just strip it out, stick the corbeau reclining buckets and harnesses in there until i get round to getting bases made up for the tartan recaros that were destined for the muppet. engine wise, undecided whether to stay with the 1.6 gti lump, had the same engine before with a p+p head, piper cam, audi tb and other goodies and it sounded and went like fuckin schweetness, but they may (just may) be a ex brm motorsport 140bhp lump finding its way there

Nice to have you back in the Flog brigade!!! :-)

Nice, not feeling those wheels but I know they came off the flaming kermit (sad days) paint them black.

Black and red is the way forward with these cars because their low on chrome anyway.

Nothing wrong with red, I f**king hate white cars (don't want to drive in a car that looks like a fridge lol.) but i never usually dish out the abuse that red seems to get. I agree it's a bitch to prevent the pink nightmare fade but when a red car is polished they look great.

Jealous of the Golf too, it has just enough welding jobs on it that I reckon I could manage without having a nose bleed. Unlike my caddy which is gradually becoming a red/orangey farmyard trailer park nightmare.

polo looks sick like that!

Just don't go setting fire to this one right?

told the guy the mot ended in may and just got all the paperwork together for the swap this weekend and it actually runs out on the 21st of this month

I'm glad i agreed on the swap even if it doesnt go ahead now simply because i wont be driving around till may clueless that my mot would have actually expired. why the hell dont they send reminders in teh post =/

Marker - golf experience - take 4 *SNAP!!* (in my best film maker voice )

Nothing wrong with red, I f**king hate white cars (don't want to drive in a car that looks like a fridge lol.)

but your happy to drive around in a car that looks like a used tampon?

well this weekend was a bit of an epic one.

down to d-town after work friday for a chiller sesh with chazbots, karl and steve.

Saturday was fuelled by the best chilli bean, cheese and beans jacket potato, me and karl stripped the wee coupe of the subframe, stuck the old anti roll bar on and put the std interior back in, was a very chilled out affair and despite it being freezing after 5 minutes of working we were well toasty

so all was good and we set off home for a beast of a lasagne and some motherfuckin 51st state =D

soo sunday morning and the mission commenced

part1 was the trip down to wiltshire, 140 miles, epic amounts of snow, some huge hills, ice made driving on non main roads interesting to say the least and karl had to push us as we got beached at one point.

reverse rake merc, fuxxored

the petrol station car park, the dealer forecourt and car park was amusing

look at the snow on the roof

some nice scenery

we hit 120k =D

good bye old friend

old n new

hello new friend

---

things that need looking at

fuel guage not working

headlight bubls need changing and uprated headlight loom

exhaust manifold gaskets need replacing

tracking needs doing

rust treatment and welding

fuel pump relay wiring needs a switch putting in adn the wiring looking at runs fine but needs the wire bridging

earth wiring for fuel beams and sometimes the brake with causes the radio to flick on and off, steering column earth possibly
