First Restoration!

So ive been chopping and changing my mind about what car ive wanted to restore for a while, and recently a friend told me about a mk1 golf shell for sale in fairly good condition, went to york to view it and its being transported to mine on Sunday! Exciting times!



Another update will be coming on sunday if all goes well!

Good luck with the project dude

Nope. Bought all the running gear myself and the wheels are a friends haha

Progress is pretty slow at the moment due to not having much luck at finding a unit. Although im going to view one on tuesday so then the real work can start!
Small update, ordered 2 bulkhead repair panels and took one to work and shotblasted it ready for welding.

Small but good update! Literally just bought a KR 1.8 16v about 5 mins ago off ebay for 30 quid, Cheaaaaap! Also found a large unit! Currently being refurbished but should be done in about 3 weeks, just needs the a lick of paint, electrics fitting (with optional 3phase cf_emoticons__BangHead and a rollerdoor put on. So thats when the proper work starts!

£30 - bargain!

Just picked it up tonight! Cant wait for the unit to be done so i can start stripping it!

Bargain that engine!
