It'll roll stock wheels. Its cool as $h!+ as it is and doesnt need extra tinselly bits. Just lows.

If your not going to use those golf body parts Wade, I have another person in need mate. send em back over...

Will be over the shed most of the weekend.

I will require more pondering time over easter to weigh up my options

i'm thinking you should, parts will be a nightmare but with those looks and say a UR quattro 5cyl turbo bolted in and 800hp it could be the ultimate pimp ride

Oh Mate IT would be so rewarding seeing an audi get build like those photos of the black one, ha ha talk about a turn around!
what a machine you won't regret doing something like that!! do you have a lassie 5cyl turbo? cooool

Haha. I'm looking at how hard it'll be parts-wise. They're out there, but you have to look very far and wide.

An engine convo would be brilliant, but i dont think i can go thru that again. Maybe just chuck something common in there like a B5 Passat/A4 1.8T... or an A6 V8

Only if i cant rebuild the stock donk though.

[GOLFBALLS]

Well i think my decision is made.
The Golf is at the point now where the more i remove, the more problems i discover. I'd basically have to cut 40% of the original body away!!! Might as well use another/better chassis. I cut out some of the a-pillar lower section and down where it joins the inner guard just to see the extent of the rust, and it just crumbled off Its a real bastard of a spot to repair there, and with this Audi super90 dangling in front of me I've realised i dont have the will to do it now.

So, another mk1 project failure!!!

Sorry to disappoint you guys. Hopefully i can make it up with this Audi. If that fails, its Go Kart time!!!









RIP

Here's a few gratuitous parting shots as the sun set on another mk1.











I will have a huge crate full of mk1 parts going up for sale soon. Im getting rid of it ALL!
