my first mk1 golf. going to be a special one.

 hey guys and girls.

just thought i'd put a quick post up.

i'm building a replica rally car, from the 70's. as far as i'm aware its never been done before and the research i've done on said car seems to be very rare!

does anyone have any infomation or pictures of the 1977 wrigley's spearmint rally car? i need some images of the rear and top of the car…….it seems to be asa rare as rocking horse….well ya know!!

so far the car has been fully sprayed in the theme of the car.
it has a 1.8 turbo callaway engine in it. running on G60 management. any info on this engine would be great too!

it's coming along slowly but should look pretty special when it's done any help would be greatly appreciated!

Dan.

welcome along Dan. sounds like an interesting project get some pics up of how your doing so far also get some up of the original

scott

I will do that....as soon as I figure out how to lol

Welcome Dan and nice project, looking forward to seeing this evolve   

       

What it's going to look like and what it looks like as of now. 

Isn't  there one in the VW Museum in Germany, I seem to recall but actually been there!
No gum on it though.

Thanks dude!! Can't wait to have it all done I'll try and get the rest of the pics up later!

Excellant work.
Now someone do a Juicy fruit version too.
That Spearmint will look mint when it's done no pun intended.  

You're either a genius or a complete loon….good luck mate, please keep the pics coming, looking forward to seeing this finished.

HAHA! i would consider myself a little crazy….

just put all the glass in today as the new headlining went in over the weekend (what a pain in the bum that was)
couldn't get the rear windscreen to go in though? the glass almost seems too big for the space? any tips to get it in? i'm using the old rope trick to get it in, any suggestions will be great thanks guys!

looking good this as for the window lubrication is the key

I use silicone lube plumbers use for plastic pipe push fit fittings and para chord when fitting rear windows.

is this your car?
