my 1.1 golf

[Henri]

Really, really awesome work dude!

[dubbed_up_daz]

thank you It 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

[dubbed_up_daz]

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

[GoLfMan]

awesome mate, truly love it!

I clicked on this thread, and was rewarded.

My fav's would be the P slots followed closely by the Renault blades.


Great work on it, very nice example.

[Jace]

P-slots FTW! I'm an RS/RM hater, sighed when i saw you'd got a set. haha.
It's hard and brutally expensive to buy nice wheels in Australia. Consider yourself lucky to have access to all those bad boys!

[GeorgeMK1]

OMG!!! im speechless at how this car has transformed from the simple car, to THIS!! Like everyone else i apsolutely love the car, and the work and time you have put into it.

I say keep the OZ's ahaha. At first i didnt like em' but they actually look quite nice! Great interior, and great overall!
We want moooooore ahaha

[dubbed_up_daz]

I love my OZ's,theyre the same period as RS's and just love how chunky they look plus being one of @6 or 7 sets in the uk theyre a bit more different from the usual,ive currently got them on my mk2 with my RS's lips but ill be pulling them back to bits over winter and replacing the current stainless lips(as on my mk2)with alloy ones. Im a big P lover :s almost had a full set off them all last year but started selling them before I got carried away,I think I had mk1 6x14 pirelli's,mk2 6x14 pirelli's,8 slot 6x14 pirellis with metal caps and two sets of 15's(both 9 slot 5.5" scirroco versions)sold the 8 slot 14's and my mirrored 15's just before a set of 8 slot 6x15's came up for sale

as for my passat...loved it,20vT fjord blue,should never have sold it
