A proper barn find. Looks ok don't it?
Erm I think it might be missing a bit

Still currently in said barn, but all bought and paid for. Just sorting delivery……………………………………..

Especially as I spent the weekend working a playing with 1000t cranes and building bridges.
However the very nice chap I bought this golf from is building up his own business and has been so busy that the arranged delivery hasn't happened. As such I received a phone call yesterday 'you ready for delivery of the golf?', to which I, of course, replied 'Yarp!!'
'Slight problem though' says Ollie, 'Oh yeah?', 'Yeah, it's gonna have to be about 7am on Monday'
Dagnammit!!!!! So much for my lie in!
Keen readers and followers of the Cornish Division and our shenanigans may be aware that my Brother-in -law (Kamikaze Cabby) is currently resto modding his Cabby at my place, plus he bought himself another Caddy the other day that's also residing at my place. Add this to Clive (the wifes cabby) and Ujum the Invincible awaiting full welding and the drives beginning to look like a car lot!

I knew that it's been painted and wasn't the originally black and I knew it'd need some work. These are the worst bits. I wonder if it might be possible to blend some paint back in?

Decided to have a move around on the drive and in the garage. The Corolla crash Project is complete and back on the road for my daily, Bro-in-Laws Cabby is moving under it's own steam, one of his caddy's is gone, but a mates Merc failed the MOT so he's braking it at mine.
So with the Derby safely ensconced in a mates garage the Black one got moved to the garage!

Bonnet removed and engine bay inspected. Nice and solid (even where the mouse nest had been!) just lots of black everywhere

nah not really, it took three goings over with a pressure washer and 3 days of white spirit and rags to get it all off! At least it's done it's job and kept everything reasonably nice!
Chasis legs nice and clean
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1548269/SG109789_zpshuamqrei.jpg)
bit blurred but you get the idea
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1548269/SG109790_zps7zyl4l19.jpg)
Obviously I've also removed the battery tray (going in a box in the boot) the rad bottle (going with a top fill) and the windscreen washer bottle (erm not sure about this yet!) and the wiring loom (this will be getting tidied and stuff I don't need removed, lengthened and tucked away somewhere), the brake bar and servo will also be going and I'll be running a 25mm master cylinder direct on the bulk head.
Also removed the seats as I'll be going for something else. Floors look ok but I've got some holes from the install of the other seats to remove
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1548269/SG109791_zps3aw0mse2.jpg)
Hmm wiring loom to sort out
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1548269/SG109793_zpssrlwh5lb.jpg)
As it's my birthday today and after weeks of sunshine here in Cornwall it's finally raining so I'm going to spend the day welding up some holes! Wish me luck!
Still unsure on a colour as it definitely needs painting. Any suggestions?

There's me building mine 28 years ago, almost finished!
Be proud of your VW Golf Mk1, it's very special!

So to progress!
Yup there has been some. Problem is when welding up holes there is literally nothing to see afterwards. I have to keep going and looking at another one to see how I'm getting on
![:ninja:](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/ph34r.png)
Please bear in mind that I'm also learning to weld during this project. Having never welded anything other than a dirty patch on Clives cill to pass an MOT.
Nothing like teaching yourself a new skill!
So to the piccies.
There was a split in the area around the clutch cable as usual but i decided not to plate it up. I'll add some strengthening strips inside the car at a later date
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1549626/SG109794_zpsiec2uwev.jpg)
Obviously needs to be ground down and finished, but no light appears from either side so it would appear to be fully welded.
Hole on the Pass side inner wing completed
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1549626/SG109795_zpsegskqpzy.jpg)
I did set fire to some of the underseal on the inside of the wing in the process. Which was a bit of a pain as the inner arch liner was still in place. It must be the quickest jack up, wheel off, liner out job in the world! All whilst being covered in acrid smoke
![:thumbs:](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/thumbs.png)
Also completed the removal of holes in the slam panel
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1549626/SG109797_zpsohzlpnvg.jpg)
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1549626/SG109796_zpsz5r0ykem.jpg)
Once I decide on a radiator and get that installed the rest will probably disappear at that point. I'm after a top fill with a push fan, so if anyone has any suggestions I'd appreciate it!
A couple of the holes in the top of the rain tray have also been made to vanish
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1549626/SG109798_zpsym4laesf.jpg)
The paint I had mixed seems to match quite well. It's just being covered at the mo to keep any flash rusting to a minimum, once a coulor is decided upon it'll be a case of having to go over all of it again…..maybe.
Thanks for the comments so far chaps. Always appreciated!

As this 1400 16v isn't done too often I've been researching more and more. I think I may just have confuddled myself even more tbh!
![:lol:](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/lol.gif)
So welding on the bay is done (yay)

So I thought I'd move on to the next bit. Got myself a Cupra R Master cylinder and managed to get it to fit. Just a bit of fabrication needed to get the peddle pushing bit to work properly and we'll be there with that.
![O_o](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/blink.gif)
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1554230/SG109826_zpsmvwne0qo.jpg)
Started stripping off the paint from the block, stripped and etch primed
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1554230/SG109825_zpszpcns83w.jpg)
Then I got bored as it was taking frickin ages. so moved over the gearbox. Bought an entire 1300 GT engine from a chap just to get the 8P gearbox

I've also got a 'spare' 1400 sat around in case of needing bits of it. So I thought I'd see if it fits
![](https://i470.photobucket.com/albums/rr70/borednow/black%20golf/SG109816_zpsreugei2c.jpg)
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/1554230/SG109819_zps4s2by6vn.jpg)
Yup. Sitting on three mounts so I can fabricate the passenger side one. Dip stick looks like it might catch the underside of the bonnet. So i figure I've got 2 options - 1, cut a hole in the bonnet (at least I'd be able to check the oil level without opening it), or B, chop down the dipstick, the dip stick guide and fabricate a nice new shiny knob for it. Thoughts?
