Mk1 golf gti, 2L 16v, OZ turbo's. R1 Carbs
How did you re-apply the texture?
Nice work BTW.
Current MK1 rebuild elapsed time - 15 years and counting…
Is it normal to clean and paint bits of your car that will never be seen?
Not-so-new addition - 1996 MK1 Citi Golf (off the road for 4 years… and counting)

With a course texture rattle can mate.

Collected new wheels last weekend after the Gti international show. Compomotive TH mono's 8Jx15in et25. Approx 6 months use so pretty much near mint.
I stripped the tyres off at work the following day
I do have the centre caps too
Yesterday, i collected another set of wheels
Ronal LS's 7.5Jx15in et25. These need a refurb.
Not everyone's cup of tea but who cares, these are being wrapped in Federal RSR's(ordered) for possible track days and my annual nurburgring trips!
Thought i'd try 1 on for size
Tried a TH mono on while i was at it
Today, i went to the stanford hall show where i made arrangements to collect a red stripe interior off sphmk1 on here
Only need the rear bench tbh as i plan to collect my wife and our first child from the hopital in the golf . Only 2 weeks til due day 8O
I knew they was'nt going to be in the best of conditions for the price so i stripped the front seats down of the red stripe material so i can possibly retrim something at a later date. The frames are already in the car ready to be put in the scrap bin at work.
Also came across 2x brand new yokohama A520's at the show. A cheeky haggle and a bargain was had :thumbs_up: . Just need 2 more for the monos now.

Here he is, just over 6 weeks old at edition38 show
Anyway, ive finally got the ronals painted. Metalic black with matt lacquar.
Tyres are 195/50/15 federal RSR's
Fitted them today
Sadly my favourite back road has been resurfaced so i have'nt tested them out. Feels great driving around at low speeds though
I did raise the front to match the rear but still had some scrubbing. This will be resolved over the winter months though, along with a few other choice upgrades!
Cant wait for the next trip to nurburgring and a few track days next year

Should be fine with 7's mate. I raised the car when I fitted the track tyres that its on now. It'll be dropped back down again once I've played with the front arches

just a few bits of storage damage over the years need some attention, will drop you a line when the car is back on the road and pop up then.

Taxed my golf for the summer so she's now back out to play
Put a fresh MOT on it yesterday too
Had to take some pic's for my agreed valuation with insurance so I spent yesterday afternoon cleaning.
I also fitted my new crosshair headlights and my black powder coated eibach strutbrace.
