Mk1 Golf Rivage-Welchy's got a new one!
Heres the pic of the original add for it:



And a pic of my last cabby to show you which way i will be heading with this one, still got the missus but not the bloody Rms! :mrgreen:

When i actually got to looking at the car it had the blooming sills blocked up and a corrado dash so it was swapped out and taken to berts for a hefty fixing session, im pretty sure he officially hates this car!!lol.
Anyway more pics to come of todays progress, its moving pretty fast!

This is where it all started with a little donor car all the way from germany!lol.



A classic line golf, then robbed all the goodies to make this;


have some rims!


That should keep everybody up to date, was then sold for a A3 Quattro Turbo, then a golf mk4 gt tdi and finally with much happiness back to an mk1!!

Anyways, got the bbs Rms, 7"front 185/45/15 stretched onto them with carbon centres, 8"rear with 195/45/15 toyos. Very very pleased with them, so similar to my last ones but in gunmetal, as you can see by the pics taken in the almost exact spot as my old one!im happier with this one as for ride-height and equipment. Enough jabber, here are some pics from today, still not polished just to get them out there!lol
what it was like when i bought it, hated the grille!

New wheels getting balanced!woo!

Quick spot of the bay to show he's pretty tidy under the bonnet:

Work in progress:

Wheel shots to come when photobucket speeds up and the new look!in about 15minutes!lol

Right so, think i should really put some pics up of progress, exterior wise I am almost completely happy. Unfortunately im selling the grille to pave some money for the MOT and tax coming up. Shouldnt have really spent my student loan on wheels but hey ho!

I really like the look here, but do you recommend I stay with the four light grill as opposed to two? I have considered changing it, my Cab is exactly the same as this just in green. Are there any small mods that you can suggest as well to make it look a bit more "dubby" I was going to drop it 35mm on springs and then get smoked lights all the way round…
The other question is OZ super T's/TH Monos/BBS or stick with the classic rims?
Cheers
