i didnt do this and had to go back and do it once the car was assembled as i found some rust lurking, it will be well hidden, i also reccomend that you respray the inside and the bay urself to save some money,
also decide EXACTLY what you want to do with the car, price it all up and order it in one go if you can, saves SO much money postage really adds up, buying aerosols from place like halfords at doubel the cost will add up too…
May also be an idea to collect every nut and bolt and go to a fixings shop and replace the whole lot in one go, wont cust much, real cheap worthwile thing to do
And most importantly, good luck, i know how hard a project is, stay in there, it will be worth it…

0-62 mph in 7.9 168 bhp and 177 lb t with the constant delivery of power similar to a high power tdi, sounds like it would be loads of fun in a mk1 shell. still cheap car tax too! win win some may say!paul_c said
Its pants, isn't it? Really boring to drive, they've simply done it for economy reasons?

I don't know, all I can base it on is Jeremy Clarkson reviewed it and gave it 1 star out of 5. Of course, that was in a (heavy) mk5 Golf. So maybe it would be better in a light car. He just described it as a very dull car.

the mkv as a whole didn't go down well with J C performance wise, we have a mkv gti dsg and it is an amazing car power delivery far better and faster than our 248 bhp mkiv. and it's only got 4k on the clock at present. that to would be a top mk1 engine convertion.paul_c said
