Mars red Series 1 Mk1 golf Driver G60

Saw this at the AGM - very nice, and those newly polished wheels look great.

new wheels will look sweet rich

Sorry if you've already mentioned this but could you tell me what gearbox/ driveshaft/shifter/ clutch combination you've used.
I've currently got a 4T road change box but seriously considering going cable change

This looks awesome, will look sweet on those wheels!

im not too sure to be honest. o2a gearbox rebuild with quaiffe lsd. that much i'm certain about.
100mm driveshafts. hydrolyc clutch. standard corrado shifter tower. i did have a cable shift conversion from a 16v ibiza but didnt use it in the end. sorry if that is not much help!

Can't believe I missed you at E38 lol, but worse, I can't believe this time last year I promised myself i'd be driving up with you to E38 this time! How wrong could I have been lol…

Next year….  

Sorry I missed you too Alfie. I was probably sleeping outside my tent. The nights were long and by Sunday I was too sleepy. My phone battery was dead by the Sunday too. Don't worry about your car. It is better to take time and do it right. We'll drive to a show together one day. me, you and tristan in a nice convoy can't wait! no rush though

Like this look alot. Very nice.

thanks mate it is a bit of a mission to get through Lol.
it is best to just look at the pictures i recon    


well i havent driven the car since edition38. i think the timing is out it has been driving funny. either that or the woodruff key is damaged on the crank. i hope not. i havent driven it and when i did i didnt give it any beans. it will be getting trailered off to get inspected and have some engine work done.
i have spent some money on engine parts. now i am poor. when it is done, it will have been re mapped and should go very well! i can not wait. i'll post up some pics of the bits when they arrive! i am very excited!!

thanks buddy    

just a pic of all my cars together

here is a pic of me arriving at edition38 in 2007


and here is the same car at edition38 2013


It is crazy to see how much it has changed. I can't believe it is the same car. It basically isn't though! Lol. Looking back at how it was brings back good memories. It has been such an awesome car over the years. I can't wait to get it mapped!

sorry for posting loads of pics. i am a sad git and i have litterally hundreds of them.

Don't be sorry mate, it's an awesome car. Hats off to you

Looks great!
