Tassie Mk1 Restoration Project

Hi Luke.
I couldn't any previous details that you might have posted about your car - can you fill in a few blanks?
For example, it is a 1.8 K-jet, right? (I assume that this is not exactly ex-factory

)

The rear disks - are these the M3 disks that golfworx was referring to?

I like the BBS kit too - I wonder if Golf Loon would disown me if I stuck one on the front of the GTI

On the ground with the road/rally tyres matey

I had a full set of M3 front & rear disc's, pad's & calipers I got when Frank Gardner Racing were converting the 3.0L M3's to M3R spec with full AP Racing spec brakes. I helped do a back yarder headgasket on a M3R & got payed with these as the original brakes came with the car when the bloke brought it.

I should of kept them too, but I swapped them for a full house TH400 auto! Ah well.

Like the ol-skool BBS kit too! Don't see many, if any anymore.
Also like the alloy rocker cover. Looks sort of like the old Moroso/Rapid style covers.

I see you into collecting BMW rim's, gearboxes & M3 disc rotor's too.
How do the E30 rims fit on the Mk1?
Alway's tried to get the BBS 15" off the 325is & E30 touring's but could never find any, especially for the right price.

Look forward to the progress

The E30 Rims fit perfect mate they look very good especially the bbs 15' cross spokes which i will be running. I would be interested to see what 15 inch Alpina wheels would look like of a Mk1. If you are interested in a set of bbs wheel I have got another set in the garage and I might be able to sell them to you, pm me if your interested.

Luke

A Hobart one. I will leave it up to 86gti or the other party, also a forum member to tell......

It was for sale on the forum about 4 months ago. Hey 86, lower the damn thing mate!!!!

Good to hear you have bought it but also sad to hear Paul is now golfless. Better get another soon mate. We will miss your great smile at our gatherings.
Anyway, sorry to change the topic.
Hey Luke, it looks like you have a jem there, I hope the paint has dried before Baskerville this weekend mate!

Well done, and nice to meet you last weekend!

Yea that targa road was really nice, I really want to drive that when i get the golf finished. your mk5 looked like it handled quite nicely on that road especially compared to the citroen berlingo work van
