Dan, that is loverly mate, a real beauty!!

I love the Mk1 chassis but for me it's always been a Mk2 Scirocco shell built on to it.

I have a really tidy 1990 MK1 GTi cab which I should wash and post up.

That took me back a few years. I had three Mk I's including a mint 1.6gti. I knackered the big ends on it cause it ran low on oil (burnt it quicker than petrol!). Happy memories though (mostly )

Thought I'd chuck another photo up seeing as I'm trying to avoid uni work at the moment

I'm living away at the moment so the Golf is off the road! I'm back occasionally where I am hope to be working on my engine conversion :O No more 1.3! It'll be a 2.0 litre 16v on Kawasaki ZX9R motor bike carbs. I've got the majority of the bits, it's just putting in the time when I'm back home now

Quite a few bit's have changed since those photos, I've now got Porsche Boxster tombstone seats and the biggest difference which is probably the small series 1 bumpers rather than the big plastic ones, cool huh!

Upcoming plans will be to get the engine in even though I don't really know what I'm doing and a full respray in Audi Ibis white which is a much fresher white than the old musty whites

Sorry whoever complained about having illegal registrations, but I don't even have a front one on in this photo

Thought I'd do a bit of a update as I'm bored of doing uni work at the moment The car's been under going an engine conversion when I've been back at home..

2.0 16v engine bought


Motorbike carbs bought


Custom motorbike carb inlet made


Engine stripped, cleaned and painted


Last of the 1.3..


Bye bye!


Eww, few bits and bobs cut out..


Car day


Not much of a loom to a carbed engine!


Cleaner


Wilwood pedal box


Stripping back and smooth baying it


MK4 Golf Shift Tower


Dash ripped out


Cleaned back


Primered before all holes get welded up


That's it for now! I only get to work on it when I'm back in Bristol, which isn't that often at the moment. Make's me sad not having it on the road at the moment

I painted my 20vT lump before putting it back in and it looked brand new when it was under the bonnet again
