Alex's GTI Project

[mikinoz]

Its good to see another mk1 build actually being done none of this gunna!! stuff.

Really it is about putting some cash up to get the good bits. This car should however be worth the $ spent on it from the current progress!

[geralis32]

Thanks guys, im il find out where the bumpers where from, my dad found those so not to sure

Hey GeorgeMK1 i should also mention, i have never been to anything like this before haha so not to sure how the system works, you should send a message to Dom or WABBIT his username, he would be the one to speak to, otherwise i think im just gonna drive mine there early in the morning, if it gets done

I hope you kept all the original bits as a genuine Campaign in good nic is worth about 10k GBP at the moment.

Its not a campaign, just a nice GTI. Still getting rarer though.

[GeorgeMK1]

Oh ok thanks for the heads up.

im gonna drive down early as well although i have a hole/leak in one of those little tap/plugs behind the pistons on the block and water leaks from it. hopefully its finished before DUBFEST. by the way i love the look of the original white golf. i thinky you've pulled it off as for looks goes. i love it!

[geralis32]

hey all just finished putting the badges and stickers on the car,
i have also replaced the bumpers back to the original ones

and i will get around to taking some of the engine bay next day or so

Car look's pretty cool dude.

Mega-stretched rear tyres aren't exactly my style as most of you may know, but it's very traditional.

I hope your going to refit the upper & lower GTI side moulds stripes too!


Oh. Thought I'd mention the rear badges are in the wrong position.

I know I'm picky & sometimes a bit of a perfectionist, but I' thought I'd speak up as your dealing with a GTI.

Some pics of my GTI for reference.

[Jace]

That looks amazing. Great work.
Looks like you've got a perfect garage right there too!

[Jarred]

Wow I'm super jealous!

looks great!

I'd only put slightly bigger lips on the front, but apart from that I reckon it looks top notch!

[geralis32]

hey thanks, i will move the badges this week sometime, i tried putting the bigger front lip on it, and was sitting on the ground, completely undrivable so gonna have to see about that
