Hey people

Started working on the golf recently and thought I might share some pictures with you. I will try and keep the thread updated with pictures as I make progress.

heres a couple more

This is only a coat of rust prevention paint not what it will actually look like when finished, im thinking about painting it with some black stone guard paint

Nice to see another mK1 being restored (especially in Tassie

) I don't have broadband and couldn't view even one of your pics completely but what I did see impressed. We all appreciate valver's triumph (no upper case "T"

) and it would have been good to follow the progress of tassiegti's project further.

Nice work. Keep the pics coming.

Nice thick underbody rust sealant and sound deadener gives a nice protective coat.

Fill in those blinker hole on the side guards whilst they are off

I hope the BBS kit is going back on.
Your car looked sweet before. (I saw it in Sydders) and will look even better soon I reckon.

Yeah the kit is going back on once I have taken care of the rust and I will be replacing a few body parts aswell.

very nice i liked the bbs kit needs a touch up hate stone chips nice to see some street slicks and braided brake lines also the rust proofing on the floor there is an underlay product u can buy its thin and its heat decipation is very good, look into it its not expensive either

Look's like a good project you've got going there Luke. Good solid starting base too!
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
