My mk1 Build *S1 dash now in, pg9*
Perfect except for the 1.8 that came with it..but atleast it wasnt in the car at the time. (originally a Golf N)

Then I started work with the help of my Dad and mechanic we know.
Sourced a 1.1 formel e engine and all the parts I needed for the Conversion.

Engine Mount and 1.8 that came with it:

The 1.8 mount was taken out and the 1.1 mount Welded in:

And then the engine went in
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/833174/P9020505.jpg)
The 1.1 fuel tank was put in which was a big job as the axle needed dropped but we got there in the end.
Then we tackled the rust.

![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/833174/P9150534.jpg)
Other side needed the same parts welded

![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/833174/P9130533.jpg)
Then it was all waxoyled
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/833174/P9200603.jpg)
The front part of the passenger side sill was welded and waxoyled.
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/833174/P9030513.jpg)
Then I started the spraying of the engine bay, scuttle panel, wing, slam panel support etc
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/833174/PB090497.jpg)
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/833174/PB110525.jpg)

![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/833174/PA180573.jpg)
And then this is what the front end looked like
![](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/uploads/pbextract/833174/PB110547.jpg)
Started to look like a car once the wings and bonnet went on. The coilovers were also put on.

Its going lower at the front when I have time to wind the coilovers down and it needs a good clean inside and out. All that needs done is the wiring of the horn and fog light and then it will be getting MOT'd..so fingers crossed!
In a way im glad the build is over because its caused a lot of stress with all the problems and I need to get some practice in it between driving lessons but I'll miss restoring it. Hopefully very soon mine will be another restored mk1 on the road

Should be on the road very soon. I need to get out in it to practice before my driving test.
