Looks like you are enjoying yourself!!

Couple of questions if you have time...

Where and what are the wheels?

What are the seats... Subaru?

Keep up the good work maybe catch you an Adelaide soon.

Wheels came up a treat, very happy with the finish, still a little soft(the clear) but left them in the garage with dads Jetta, so hopefully they should dry nicely, and hope to get some rubber soon
came up very glossy



caps came up nice too, thinking of doing the sunken bit behind the VW logo in black?!?



what they will look like

Had a few days off from uni(teachers marking up drawings, GRRR), and didn't work all day so I had an arvo to do a little work on the golf, been a while since i did anything.
Started off by grabbing a wire wheelie thing, and went at the little spot of rust inside the car and cleaned up some other crap in the foot well too.
sorry no progress pics


Then i started to clean out the rain tray, as it was full of 35 year old leaves.


got it pretty clean, but now i need to grab some dry ice after uni tomorrow to get rid of the Sound deadening, hopefully no holes, fingers crossed,



So thats what i did today, nothing special, just small progress. also decided I won't be able to paint the car from bare metal unfortunately, but I'm gonna rub it back, primer and properly paint then clear it, hopefully get it looking good

Cheers

Also decided I'm not gonna be using the seats i initially planned on, however I'm not decided on what i will do for seats yet. and Don't need to decide till its painted and got some new parts and carpet.

Oh and a quick question, anyone ever bought stuff from mk1 Autohaus (USA)?? Good, Bad?? how is their shipping costs??

[brasstinman]

Cool base to start with. Love how those wheels turned out.

Been a while but after a hectic semester. Time to get onto the mk1. So a quick question to start off on
Do cabrio seats fit straight into a regular mk1 hatch?
Ill try get some pics up of what I've been doing this week.

Hey mate
Sorry I never answered your question. But the wheels are stock mk3 steelies that I cleaned up.
And the seats are just el cheapo bucket seats. But I decided I'm not gonna go down that road so if anyone is interested. Let me know.
