have you got a spare fan switch for sale dude off jays engine?

well its been about 5 weeks sisne I've done any work on the mk1 but decided to change that today

:)

bought a whole sill section insted of trying to fabricate a peice the right shape to weld in...

cut down to the right size

winer! happy with that, means ill also get the right little lip in which although i didnt notice it at first would bug me now i have noticed it lol

bay almost ready for primer... finally

new wings

something a bit wrong with our inspiration wall

and the result of todays work... ouch..

dont let go of an angle grinder when its on...

start of the new dash pod design

Looks awesome. Mk1 golf with a GT engine is a cool hybrid between looks and fun!

this is a great thread, I'm sure I've seen the other golf at the beginning at no rice ?

cant wait for updates on this one

thanks guys, trying to get back into it, lost enthusiasm for it over chrismas n new year, too many parties lol

love it!

Nice work, keep cracking on!

i want to see more !!!

excellent work so far. looking forward to seeing how you mount the gt engine in so crack on!

GT engine uses all the same mount, its just one mount that you need to cut the gt one and the mk1 one in half and weld together

simples

great cheers :) i hope you put as much work into the engine as you have the car!

todays updates

old headlining vs new

ewww 31 year old dust

yeah so its not quite as easy as take old one out put new one in... its a bit baggy... lol

in progress

so after a couple of hours, lot of glue and even more of a head rush...

also before i did the headlining i painting the inside black very happy with it

cut a rear load liner out, have black to go over the top thats just the nice spongey bit

oh and put the rear windows back in..
