Looks awesome what are your future plans for the car?
I'm soo euro even my missus is shaved...
Clean as hell! I love those seats, as well as the Turbines and the colour!
You've done well building a unique MK1.
Welcome!
ive came a bit since then,and ive swapped the oz's up a couple times and the wheels a few times,and the interior and the engine as well lol
OZ's got fully stripped
these appear soon
but in powder
with some
but most of that later,can only post so many at a time lol
the wheels ...
sanded to 1200 then filler primer,flated then primered and wet flatted
and colour
made them up to 8" all round

blew up the 1.3 carb box and found a 1.3 digifant with 5 speed from a polo gt,fitted it plus...
still have the full oe interior
and got the wheels on
got it to a show without it grenading
the distributor on the 1.3gt engine broke so I fixed it
fan cowling now changed for black
decided the 240's were not up to the KR(its lightened and balanced,runs cams and a ported head and inlet,four branch stainless and 2.5" system)so stole the jetta's 285's(and technically the engine was for my jetta as well)

black bits
swapped my old porsche splits from my passat for these rs 071's
but they were a bit of a state although they came with 2 and 2.5" stainless dishes
cleaned them
and fitted them
then sorted these out
and got new bumpers

I love it! I love how it's still OG paint and all you've had to do is make it look better! (and go harder!)
I like it alot!
Really, really awesome work dude!
77 Mk1 w/2E Engine (no longer for sale)
thank youIt really really wasnt supposed to go anywhere near this. It just kinda generated momentum and the more I used it I loved it but knew I wanted more from my jetta
fitted the sebrings
then some 15" P's with 165 bridgestone's
spends most of its life in the air lol
fitted the(jetta's)seam welded wishbones,poly bushes and powdered strut brace
and more recently have had it off the road while I tool about in my mark 2 as I collect a store of bits. Found oem lhasa green front wings,a set of oem plastic arches as one of mine had parted company although im looking into berg arches or at least a clipper kit,currently having the(jettta's)seam welded and powdered)rear beam fitted with polo stub pins and rear drums,a bigger master cylinder and new in-tank lift pump and external main fuel pump and possibly the(jetta's)powdercoated eibach ARB's ive had lying about along with (the jetta's)fk konigsports with a view to getting it track ready for next years track day sessions and ive been promising myself a nurburgring trip for ever and 180na horses should be quite fun round a track.
as it reads ive pretty much just robbed my jetta off everything but after deciding to go 16vT with the jetta and fitting the early part of the un-needed stuff from the jetta I had a rethink as the golf is now hardly a day to day car,its very harsh already,the engine even just as an NA(fully polybushed)has your teeeth rattling from the initial key turn and not what I want from my jetta which is why ive stole so much from its parts bin as I intend vr'ing it so much of it is redundant(strut brace will catch on the planned install,seats are not comfy on a long run[over 5 hours is a definate no-no]the good bits off this engine would need changed going to a 16vT anyway so that would have been a waste as well and pretty much more excuses in the same vein :p
no excuses really,I absolutely love this one. Its mad noisy,very uncomfortable,fairly impractical,never really runs right but is SO MUCH fun. I grin looking at it whatever wheels its on,break my jaw grinning whenever I get it out and will not part with it until I probably end up totalling it or something stupid![]()
