1.8t conversion and restoration of my 91 Clipper - PLEASE DELETE

This is going to take a while

Hello,

I have been a member of the club for quite a while now, and I have had my Golf for about seven years. I have kept it going and used it as my daily driver for 90% of the time, however a slipping clutch and a 1.5 hour each way commute to work meant that last year I took the Golf off the road. Since then it has been gathering dust at my mate's lock up, waiting for the day when I/we finally sort it out, and it appears the time has finally come!

This won't be a quick project as I can only work on the car at the weekend and I'm not the richest of people but I'm hoping to have the car more or less completed before it gets really cold again, fingers crossed.

The plan so far is to strip the car and respray it, drop a 1.8t in it, replace all the interior and buy some nice wheels (my mate has had away with it's original BBS haha). Currently I have a full dog tooth interior including seats and door cards for sale, a complete 1.8 carb engine with Weber and gear box, front and rear small plastic bumpers, and a front grill with yellow wrapped spot lights for sale - I will put these in the relevant for sale sections, just thought it's worth mentioning here too.

Below are some pictures of the car in the corner of the lock up, hopefully we can move it in to some more space soon but beggars can't be choosers! The strip down will commence next weekend.
