NEWB
HI all i'm james ,posting under mk1-16v in cgti forum and now here
i've got a 83 mk1 gti (A 468 FFU) dw chassis code,its got a kr 16v nestling under the bonnet ,and will have scirroco inlet manifold on it very soon, the body has been totally stripped and rebuilt (new wings ,inner/outer sills ,inner/outer wheel arches, drivers side rear chassis leg and inner arch where the fuel breather sits plus other small holes, could have done with a rear pannel but another mk1 donated none rottern boot slam pannel and new lower rear vallence was stiched in,its also got most of the vitle pipe work and running gear replaced)
it has been modified but not so it loses the charicter of the car (the exhaust now exits through the rear vallance the sill trims been deleted ,scirrocco tilt & slide roof ,BBS RM's ,and other little bits but you'd really have to look for them)
it's not road legal yet 8O
but should be soon(i've been promising that for the past year :mrgreen: )
if you look at jacks post mines the pearl cherry black one

To those who dont know myself and james bought and started our golf's at the same time and even shared a lock-up (albeit a leaking one nearly falling over - another story) so its been a bit of a race to see who'll finish first, but neither of us has done it in lighting pace thanks to a lot of hidden problems…………. :evil:
