Haha you crazy phill! Got it from this guy in eastleigh paid 675 :biggrin:

0-60 in 2.6 minutes and top speed of 86mph haha.

Not gonna do anything to it apart from maybe get some 60mm springs for the front. Its on 40mm springs at the mo but the backs lower than the front.

Such a Pimp car to be cruising in listening to some old skool tunes are you keeping it once the Golf is done?

ohhh will. i thought you were just going to buy a little shitter, not an awesome german waggon!!

And you know your gunna have a play with it!!! haha

hope to see it at sovag!

nahhh man it needs coilies and rimage! seriously will like you're gonna be able to resist!

Haha cheers guys its staying stock for the moment its actually nice to drive a car that isnt slammed for once as boring as that may sound! Shit am i getting old?

All my money's being saved for the golf. As much as id love to slam the jetta on some classics my mates and my girlfriend wont let me

Should start working on the golf this weekend so ill let you no how it goes.

I've been working on the golf most of the day today. Got a fair bit of it striped now, its shocking what good condition its in.

I thought id find all sorts of rust but so far its all good :-)

Well thats the lot. Still got half the interior to do and a few more bits outside.

Just gathering parts I'm gonna need and labelling everything i take off.

Hopefully it will be in the bodyshop in about a month woop

Lookin good mate, be really interested in the progress of thie thread !

cant wait!, best bit is putting it all back together!

Looking good mate, i love black gti's one of the best coulors you can get them in i reckon :-)

My Dream Car <3

Love It Mate.

Jesus haven't updated this for a while! Its doing my head in at the moment, I've got all the money saved up for the respray but I'm waiting on the bodyshop

Scince the last update I've just stripped everything else off. Got some shcmidt th's to go on but sold them on before they were even used on the car

Got my eye on some rs's at the mo i no theyve been done to death but they suit a mk1 perfectly.

Cheers for the comments guys just need to keep going with it now!

Its gone at last! Off to its new home for a few months to get some major surgery. Its a really weird feeling seeing your car on the back of a trailor and trusting someone with your pride and joy.

Bye bye for now.......

New wheels! again

Went to near stroud this morning to pick these up. Nothing that special but the sizes are a spot on fit for a mk1. 8x14 et 25 front and 9x14 et 15 rear. 195/45/14 tyres all round.

They looked really good on the move on toms mk1 who i got them off.

Probably get them refurbed before they go on. Black centres and a polished lip should do the trick

Nice stretch on the 9s

really nice car mate!! makes me want to get a mk1!!

Whats rim tape man? forgive my ignorance!

Well its finally in the bodyshop! Its only been like 8 months

First few pics from timski...

Theres a few spots of rot but generally I've got myself a solid shell :)

Worst bits are the scuttle.

wow what an amazing thread just read it all, i dont tend to like mk1 golfs unless theyve had alot of money spent on them but I'm loving this in black what your doing with it is spot on mate, i really want one now ill have to get saving :(

Update from tim :-D

Next the wings came off and both were rotten where they met the scuttle panel.

Lots of surface rust on the underside of the bonnet..

But i sorted that out with my trusty die grinder.

Along with the usual rust around the rear number plate lights.

Bodyshell all stripped and halfway ready to be primered...

Today i finished off the bodyshell and painted her in primer..

Al in guide coat ready for the next stage

Keep it old school and subtle cos thats a beauty! Awesome condition for a mk1 Golf :-)

Looking good dude!

Realllly liked the look on the Rsl's!

Should be awesome when finished!

Cheers for the comments guys.

I went to the bodyshop on sunday to see my car and give tim some money. Its coming on really nicely, tims a real sound bloke aswell so its in safe hands.

It will be done in about 10 days now :-D

Just got some welding to do around the rear arches bit more work on the front panel and the sills and a little section to weld in on the lower rear panel. Also getting a new section from a donor car to weld in to the rusty scuttle and all the arches and getting the lips cut out for a bit of extra room. The new door is on and just waiting on a mint tailgate and wing. Then its all getting sanded and painted and polished etc.

Cant wait to have it back all fresh

My girlfriend said she would bake him a cake aswell so were gonna take it up when its all sprayed

Heres a few pics i took when i was there.

Picked up some new seats yesterday sportline recaros.

Just gave them a bit of a clean. They came up quite nicely but i think ill get them retrimmed when I've got some spare cash.
