With winter fast approaching the car will be garaged and slowly having some work done it
* Powerflex bushes all round as they're starting to perish
* Rear brake disc conversion
* H&R coilovers as the AP's are a bit bouncy on the front end
* Engine bay tidy up
Will try my best to keep this build thread up to date for you guys

Nice van mate,was this the one on ebay?
It was on ebay twice and sold but no one paid up for it!
i was lucky enough to see it advertised on Instagram and i had to go and see it in person!
Dan who i bought it from works for G23 engineering who are well known in the VW scene so i know it was well looked after

Only got a few pictures of it while i was working on it as i wanted to go into London and get some snaps but the heavens decided to open and rain on me!!!
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1503091/image1.jpg)
Really impressed with the end results! Got soo many light scratches out and the obvious swirls marks around the body

Got to love a mirror finish

My New Year's resolutions are: 1. Stop making lists. B. Be more consistent. 7. Learn to count.

Any photos of the inside showing the cargo area?
I am also interested in knowing more about the rear disc brake conversion.

Had a disaster start getting it out the garage and to my dads yard to be checked over.
Distributor was knackered and was full of oil so wouldn't tick over and my alley rad popped its core so all had to replaced 🙈
Update on the golf while I'm still waiting for another rad to be fabricated….
H&R anti roll bars were fitted (rear was an absolute pig)
Power flex bushes all round which was surprisingly easy!
New rocker cover gasket
New distributor
Clutch and lightened flywheel fitted and gave it a good service before it goes off for a fresh MoT for the summer
Itching to get behind the wheel and to attend a few shows so hopefully won't be much longer
