That guys got a bodykit identical to my old one !!

[Jarred]

yea, just a clipper kit by the looks of it george, nothing too fancy.

That ones got audi 80 handles by the look of it, real popular on mk 1's, not so much on mk 1's, but could work if you were going for that look.

personally, I jsut love the chrome!

beige is cool, nothing says retro like beige. (although i'm not sure about sparkles.. :S )

oh, and shaving the side trim, is a PITA, just so you know! haha

A nice little car, this. Was built by a friend of mine quite some time ago (he's now into Land Rovers... must have gone insane)! The wheels are actually my old ones, originally on my light blue Mk1. There are a couple of sets in Aus - mainly on E30s, but still pretty rare and a ready fit for VW with 57.1mm centres.

Ben tried to roll the guards and split all the original 2-pack paint, which was/is a real shame. Tidy this up, and you're onto a winner, as the shell is great

Maybe already in here somewhere......
to clear up some confusion........ This isn't actaully Bens old Mk1...Many parts off Ben's old Mk1 wen onto this car, but it actually came from NSW.
purchased by Antdragonist and taken to the goldcoast.... Then Dom (antdragonist) moved back to tas...... built by Ed.C Myself and Antdragonist.

The engine, wheels and suspension are the only parts to come out of Ben's shell.
Ben's shell was in alot better condition than this one. Not shure where his shell is now tho.
But yea....Not Ben's old car. First made its way into tas with Dom (antdragonist) then went to Hennie, now Josh has it.


when Dom first purchased it from NSW....Mk2 1.8 GTI engine on Std carby.

Hey Y'all.. Been a long time since i updated this page! as i have bought a house and thus have no money to spend on the golf!!

Good -
Getting my bumpers sand blasted / repaired and then painting them black Also going to do the centre of my wheels black too cause it will look tough!
I have removed the rear seat and everything that goes with it... will be making up rear floor to flow from boot space to right behind driver/passenger seat so i now will be able to fit ALL my guitar gear in the car for gigs! No more having to take the wifes BAIN car. hahaha



I now have a House with a GARAGE! so the golf is undercover 24/5 (apparts from the 2 days where i drive it on weekends)

BAD -
Went to lower the car more on saturday - found that the rear coilovers are already as low as they can go!! Absolutely DEVO because they are great coilovers but the ride height is soo much higher than what i want it.. so if anyone wants to swaps for a cheap / JOM or Hottuning set - will be keen as.
All electricals that are important are dead hahaha - no wipers - no heater - no fuel gauge - no speedo - no temp gauge - no brake lights!! LOL so will need to get all that sorted out sooner rather than later!!
And parts of the panels are starting to de-laminate! so need to respray in the next 18 months or so..

Otherwise - bit of work to do so should start to get a bit more into it over the coming weeks..

Let me know if you have any solutions to the above mentioned problems!

[killingwithasmile]

considered drop plates for the rear? much cheaper than new coilovers.

good luck with it all though!!

[JoshFair]

MORE LOWS!!

Better photos up tonight
