My Resto 1982.... ENGINE START! With video!
Well pleased
TAKE A LOOK!!!!
Put the old dish on one just to get a look as what they will be like.
And i like what i see.
Just need new 2.5 inch dishes now as aposed to the 1.5s on it there
And im thinking black bolts on them now cuz chrome ones would just blend in with the chrome dish.
My mind has been changed.
Tell me what you think

They will probely go on the mk1 when i finaly get it done.
I did the rear disc convertion on the rear beam earlyer and i have half term nest week so i am hoping to get it as a rolling chassis.
Need to get rid of the rest of the gunk on the bottem and give it a fresh coat of underseal.
Then i can get the suspention on.
Will be a big step if i can

Here is my efforts for today
Ground all the rust off the rear beam and the brackets, painted them with hammerite, fitted the new anti roll bar and fitted the powerflex poly bushs to the beam and new wishbones
Not bad for a days work.
PAWN !! 8O 8O
good work mate

Started on back half of car removing crap. Not nice job.
And then got fed up doing that and went and bought some underseal and started on slapping that on

Loving this thread. Learning loads! She's looking great. Any chance postin some pics of ur stand, wanna see how the side part is done.
Cheers
Was just gunna say will be coming off that soon so will be for sale if you want it but just was ur location lol. it just bolted to the suspention mounts front and back and the side is just two bars sticking out and up the side with some angled bits to add stregth, then i had an axle stand on the roof edge while it was on its side to hold some of the weight.
So if any1 e;se wants the stand they can have it. Make me an offer. otherwise its just gunna be cut up.

Smothed off the badge holes and the window wiper and then tested some colour on it.
This is NOT the colours the car is going to be!! Only did this to see what the colours would look like DEFINATLY not having both. lol
Im liking the green on it to be honest. the blue is nice but i dont think it will suit a mk1 golf. hmmm
What do people think??
