MINT.

Here's how she started after a long clean

It's funny looking at it at stock height.

Then came the 70mm shocks and springs, I was up until the middle of the night in the freezing cold to get it all fitted the day before my test. Luckily I passed first time haha.

Christmas time! Found some sparkling diamond cut P-Sluts on stretched 155/55 Nankangs (roof rack was only temporary)

I then got a regular single light grille which had a short life on my car as I found a cheap chrome trimmed grille at Dubfreeze which couldn't be passed up.

On the way to GTI Spring

PLANS:

-I eventually have plans for a GT conversion but all in good time.

-In the nearer future I am going to sort out all of the rust, such a shame though because of the good condition of the paint

-Get my leaking fuel tank re-welded

-Un-dent the whole shell

-Mirror polish the P-Slots

-Get some sort of sound system set up

-Front lowering caps and mk1 Golf rear coilovers

-De-wiper

For now that's all I can think of. Any comments, suggestions or criticisms would be much appreciated.

mint! cant beat a bready on p sluts! cant believe your taking the front lower lol

I'm really liking this, looks pimp!

Yeah me tooo :) looks proper sick

alex

lovely start bud.bit risky welding the tank tho

Looks great,

Looks like mine but with far better paint. I ended up painting my front valance/panel black because it was so chipped and rusted, was easier to get a satin black finish.

Were you not talking about welding the tank before in another thread? not advisable unless flushed/or filled with the right detergent.

Cheers guys yeah I have been putting off removing all of the rust because it will mean ruining the paint which is such a shame.

Yeah it was me talking about welding the tank, but it's not me doing it personally I am taking it to a professional and I guess he knows the risks. He mentioned something about a lining in the tank, not sure if a car as early as mine will have one but if it does then that will obviously just melt and I will end up just buying a new tank anyway.

If anyone knows of a 5speed GT box for sale could you let me know.

I'm coming along to no-rice this evening, have been offered a lift in a mates caddy so will probably go along with him to save precious fuel and milage haha.

do you get any rubbing on the rears with the P slots?

That last photo of your is how i want to get mine looking but with black and red p-slots

Very nice Car

Ash

Absolutely no rubbing with the p's at all. There is a bit of oxidation on areas of each wheel where the lacquer has peeled off, is there anyway to kill this or am I going to have to rub them down?

lol, love the christmas tree

You polo looks really great with those Pirelli - Rims.
