My first project
I was thining back to Mars red, removing the spats on the arches and the black vinly surround on the tailgate. Keeping most of it quite concours but with porsche cookie cutters. I saw one in a VW mag not long and looked tremndous so someting like that. What do you guys think?
Just thought I would say hello.

Does anyone know where the spot welds are on the front panel/valence?

It looks quite similar to my resto which may come in handy for reference at some point

On each end of the slam panel and there is a little tab at each end with one on.
Down each side following the flange
Along each flange of the ends of the box section
Along the tabs that are folded into the chssis section
And the main box section is seam welded to the chassis rail
Sound a lot. If you are fitting a new panel then just cust most of it off with the grinder and then dressup the flanges. If keeping the panel it is best left in place unless you must take it of to do a repair.
Cheers

A few questions though;
1) Where does the washer bottle go? Any pictures.
2) What stud pattern and spacing are mk 4 golf wheels? And will the hbs and rear axle fit a Mk1?
3) Where can I get underseal that will a close match to the original?

You can do a five stud conversion for a Mk1, though I don't know the details - The front is supposed to be a pain though. You might get more info on this from the Club Gti forums.
Nice progress on the Mk1 by the way!!!
