So, the wait is finally over. She is now at my rents place.


Will get a few more pics a little later, and with a little more detail of what needs to happen.

And she is now of the trailer and for time being it will stand where it is to start some body work etc. Hopefully can get a small shed somewhere or something.

How many Golfs have you had over the years parked in this spot?

[Mk1@4Motion]

I moved in and got two amd then now this one.

And also decided that if I can have the car done and running without hickups in the next 2years I'd be happy. I know 2years is a lot but it gives me time to make sure everything is done perfectly and is done at a good standard.

Hoping to get a decent amount of work done this weekend.

Aiming to do the following:

Clean the inside and maybe repair the passenger front floor.

Start sanding back the body.

Clean up the engine bay. And strip out the rest of whats left in it.

And I'll have to try and fix the dent in the passenger door as well, if time allows I'll attempt that as well.

So nothing happened last weekend, fell a little ill and had to work half the weekend. So I didn't plan any for this weekend but to work on the golf.

I am going to chop the front out, and get a new/used apron.

Straighten passanger chassis leg.

Clean up engine bay.

Buy sheet metal tomorrow to repair passanger front floor, and also see if I can weld sheet metal to the firewall to make it look straight and flush. And hopefully start fabricating some pieces to box the chassis legs up front to make it look very clean and tidy.

And then a question for you guys, 02A or 02J gearbox? And if possible, can someone give me pro's and con's of the two?

Much appreciated.

Just made it in time to the metal shop to buy three pieces of 600mmx800mm sheets. Thought a couple of them would have been big enough for "shaving" the engine bay but they won't work to well. Need one big piece.

Will start all work I want to achieve tomorrow and keep going on monday.

Will take pics of before and after of what I do and keep you posted.

So for today I didn't get much time to spend on the car. But did manage to get the engine bay almost completely clean from cables, hoses, wiring and everything like that.

Will get stuck into it tomorrow and see if I can start with some welding and possibly fix the floor as well, but I do have a short to do list of things I could think of immediately before packing up:
