MK1 Citi Golf Project

Hi Guys

Looking for some ideas for this...want to upgrade brakes, suspension and engine

Current line of thinking would be brakes and suspension first, followed by a 2.0 8v swap, however should i go for something further either 2.0 16v or ???...dont want to go crazy on the spending but want to be happy with the cars all round ability...










cheers for your input

Nice work dude, keep it original as possible they are rare around here

What year is it?
Shotgun the airbox when you do an engine swap!

Looks pretty tidy.

Yeah i will keep it looking as stock as possible...maybe a chin spoiler and some other accessories that you can get from South Africa

Thinking black rims might look cool too, but thats a personal choice

Mechanicals is where i want to do most of the work, just have to decide about the engine - 2.0L 8valve seems like the easiest option, maybe with a bit of work for some more bhp...surely a bit quicker than the current 1.3L!

you sure it's a 1,3???

it doesn't look like a small block, and the water outlet on the head between 3&4 cyl's indicated (to me atleast) that it's a 1.8.

Air box looks similar to what was on my old import mk 2.

as for upgrades. I'd put mk 1/2GTI brakes on the front, with a new/bigger MC and booster from a mk 3. These will bring the brakes into the 21st century! Combine that with a nice cup kit, and some nice wheels, i reckon i'ts a go-er.

I think its a 1.3L or 1.5L, either way it isn't a 1.8L...it goes ok, runs out of puff early than my '76 1.6L

Thanks for your brake upgrade suggestions...will go that route first, followed by the suspension & rims...

should be a nice daily once its all done

Thanks mate, its a 1992...

Plates are borrowed from my old man, they used to be on his '56 Cabriolet
