Glad to help out anytime Big D!

I've said it before & I'll say it again.

Top effort, & prop's go out to the better half for her major involvement in the project.

Car look awesome. Period.

I've also got to say that when starting a project, it makes a hell of alot of difference when you have all the part's ot your disposal. It make's the project come along that much faster.

Again, Thanks all. Since I've gotten it done I've only put about 40 miles on it. It has been raining alot, so it is sitting with a car cover on it.

P.S. Tuning to come in the near future.

Suggested by golfworx that I post this...

Some mild tuning has been done to my 79 TD by me of course

Removed blow off valve and installed a custom made block off plate. Turned up the fueling a tad and added a manual boost controller. Also has a 2.25" TT exhaust with a Borla muffler (I don't like drone) very free flowing.

It will make 25 lbs of boost when I really get on the go pedal. It is absolutely a blast to drive and is pretty damn fast for being basically stock. I never knew a TD could be this fun to drive. It will walk away from most of the tuner cars around here.

Cosmetically a couple of changes... A-pillar fairings and NOS Mk1 euro GTD grille badge and Golf GTD hatch badge.
Also scored a couple of period correct goodies for my Mk1... aftermarket old school rear sway bar and a AM-FM radio.

This was a semi local VW air cooled and water cooled car show. I placed in the top 25 cars with my 79 and also with an 84 Jetta GLI I built. There were 162 cars at this show. Not bad since this is a first time at a car show with it.
