ore done! starting to look properly good now!


Foam backed door cards for more sound insulation / less rattles.



Hmm Strut brace




Sprayed my c pillars black to match the a and b pillars. never did understand why the car came with beige ones anyway.




Rear trim in place, new carpeted shelf supports.




Since i cut a double din hole in my old center console, i got a new one to cut up for a single din.



After liking the cubby-hole light in my mates a3, i decided to build on into my centre console.










Then installed crossovers + stereo into console.






Lots and lots of wires to connect! (3 sets of rcas, one iso block, wiring for the new light, arial, crossovers (3 stereo speakre wires into each))



Thats better




Audi TT pedals!






Eventually got my front leather set in too! Lushness!



Started tidying up my front speaker pods this afternoon too, they were built in a rush for a road trip so needed smoohting badly.




So close now!

looking good....always had a soft spot for golfs. I had a mk1 gti a couple of years ago but it was beyond my capabilities due to the insane amount of rot!

[mini_kev]

nice, a lot of hardwork in such a short time. I used to really like the golfs (still do) but then my eyes opened to the real GTi...... the 205!!! Lol, nah i am still very keen on the golf and this one is a very nice example!

[Matt]

makes me wish i had my golf back...

[nmt_oli]

Ive been getting more parts! afte this the car will be complete, with pretty much everything replaced since i purchased the car.

Workshop is tidy, new engine is in workshop, along with a GTI subframe, wishbones, and 16v hubs and all parts to refurb.

Subframe and crossmember with poly bushes


Hubs and brakes


New engine. 16v ftw.


Yamaha YZF1000R Carbs and custom manifold being made, all for the small sum of £160 delivered. Result.



I need to get busy!

[PhoenixSimon]

lookin good, make sure you use the 16v gearbox when you fit the new motor, nothing like an 8v box to kill performance.
ive had a couple of golfs and porsche wheels on both, design 90's and polished 928 wheels.

Its there, in the back of the trailer.

Got so many parts to clean up off both cars, mini and this, and paint/get chromed.

[PhoenixSimon]

might be a good idea to get the dif pins bolted, they have a habit of spitting out of the casing as I found out with mine!
loved my old mk2 it was great.
What wheel adapters did you use for the porker wheels?
