78 2-Door Build Thread

[dubmc]

hey there,

thought i'd start a bit of a thread for my 2-door im putting back together, which i've been working on for a few weeks.

i bought it as a complete shell already stripped - it was a 'meant to be project' which never really eventuated and the previous owner was going to send it to the wreckers if i didn't buy it.

it is a very straight car considering with minimal rust.

i have already done and learnt a lot within the last month.

bought the car for $250 all together and it came with 13x7 speedy rims with some mean offset (massive barn find)

I bought another mk1 with some good running gear, which im going to transplant, so by the time i'm done it will have the following:

- 1.8 with dellorto side draft
- 5 speed box
- front sway bar
- front and rear stress bars
- gti front brakes + larger rear drums
- mk1 dual exhaust
- koni adjustables

Hope you enjoy this build as much as i do lol can't wait to get my first car on the road!

Will take photos tomorrow.

Michael.

[Jace]

Go to Photobucket.com, register an account (should be instantaneous) and follow the guideline.
The post the image as an attachment to your post, there's four sets of URL's to copy/paste on photobucket for each photo, the bottom one is the one you want, beginning with [IMG]
It's pretty simple. PM me if you need help.

Ignore anybody telling you to use imageshack, please!

Good luck.
