Not always a breaker

i alawyas try and save golf mk1s that i take in, most are way beyond repair and some are borderline, this lhasa was pretty close to getting broken but i persevered and this is the result. both rear arches, part axle mount and rear valance and a fully rebuild engine, i got it as a rolling shell
started by doing arches, rear valance etc first, then the engine work, used alot of the other breakers parts to keep this one alive, dashboard, complete wiring loom, and bought a few parts too etc
 


after getting 1 yrs mot last week

that looks great mate, glad to see you got her sorted.

too many cars are getting broken at the moment, and in far better condition than yours started in!

Well done buddy, done a nice job on that!

Looks good, I daren't remove the plastic wheel arch spats on mine, although the rest of the car is pretty solid to be fair.

What size are the ATS cups?

aye well done dubs!!! saves me a lot of effort :wink: …….now in my posession  :mrgreen:

8O don't believe that's the same car!  

but seriously great work! always good seeing another one saved

hey stu, did u have a shakey hand when marking the areas to be repaired btw how does it feel to have put it back on the road and not even have a proper run it :dontknow: , shabbs is over the moon with that motor,so less scrapping and more resurrections needed eh! :mrgreen:

well i bought the rolling shell of you and it was covered in yellow mot marker so maybe you have a dream of being a mot tester wi yer white glove. 8)

i aint too bothered , i did have a good burst in it and you know that i wanted to keep it, but the mk3 gti wasnt selling so something had to go, then low and behold next day the blinking mk3 sells, sods law eh.
kas will hit the roads shortly and i aint selling it.. 8)

hi is the last pic of the smart gti green or grey ?

CNC 77Y - I thought was a car i recognised from back in the early 90's which lived in our village. Upon further digging, the car I knew of was CNC 66Y and was also a Lhasa Green GTI which I last saw in 2006.
