Hello fellow dubbers

hello everyone

i signed up today, so i can become more involved with the forum as i read it regularly, but dont post

i have been in the vw scene for many years

i am known on ed38 and clubpolo as BLACK6N_POLO

but i sold my 6n to buy a mk1 gti

i am based in north london/herts

here is some pics of my golf:

love it!  8)

any more information on the spec of the car?  

welcome matie  (put your plate straight)

thats gorgeous!! (i noticed that too foxy)
much better than a polo!

ye sure

its an 83' campaign gti

was registered by the previous owner on here

has

audi 2.2 throttle bodies
4-1 manifold
high lift cams
coilovers
ats cups 15x7
all red rear lights (standard ones fitted at the moment)
vdo gauges

everything else is mint and as original as possible, including the interior

just purchased some new engine parts which will be chromed

cam belt cover
rocker cover
fan cowling
roar pipe

the plan is to make the car as nice as possible, without modifications that cannot be returned back to standard

the strips are not on the car, as they were not replaced whent the car had a full respray in 98' for a mag feature (i was not the owner at the time) but i like the look of it at the time being without them

what do you all think?

welcome matie  (put your plate straight)

both plates are bent to be honest

waiting for new plate holders to arrive, then i will sort it

the front plate does not match the back currently

v nice - saw it on ed38 when you had purchased for the bargain price - I was even contemplating having it back at the time off the guy in Scarbrough  :wink:

Thank me and RSDUB on here for making the car what it was when you bought it you got a bargain there mate - enjoy

P.S. Put the decals back on  

Lovin your car, nice photos have i seen them on the e38 forum?

Love ATS cups, and i am getting a set one day(once the car is built)

What drop do you have on your golf as it looks great,just about right.

Welcome

alright mate

so where you the previous owner?

can you tell me any details/points on the car from its history

what was repaired etc in the restoration

thanks


btw i post on ed38 alot


i have done alot of work on the car under the bonet making it run properly and getting it set up right though

I bought it in Nov '05 so I know about as much as you before that (presume you got the file with all receipts and the VW Motoring mag with it featured in 99) - sold it in Sep '06 to RSDUB on here who did some more work on it (look for his for sale thread as there are pics still on) then sold it to someone in Leeds who then used it to part ex against the 79 MK1 G60 the guy had that you bought it off in Scarbro

Yeah I know what you mean about getting it set up right - with that cam tho was always gonna be a job - you got it sorted now tho ??

in fact here you go …..

cheers for the help

ye i got the folder with all the history etc

the cam was a big job to sort, i got the car re-tuned and the dodgy idle sorted,  the car now starts and runs properly when cold, the cam is now less lumpy and drives properly even in traffic

it was a big job but now the car runs perfect


do you know when the modifications took place?

i will find rsdub now


i have also done loads of work on the gear box and clutch

No problem HTH - I could never be bothered to try and sort the cam   and I know rsdub had a go   - sounds like you have sorted it now tho so all good  8)

The mods took place leading up to the feature in VWM - it had black leather interior and a momo wheel in it when I got it and I put it back to standard. Oh I had the pirelli p's restored aswell but I dont think you got those in the sale did you ??

I put the link up above when rsdub had it for sale - if you look in my old posts you will see when I had it up also if you are interested.

no i did not get the p slots in the sale

when were the strips removed ?

and by who ?

they were there in rsdubs pics!

the pics from your for sale post dont work


ive sorted the cam and idle with a big stuggle but i am so happy with the way it is running now

im just sorting the niggles and then pimping the engine bay

most of the car has all of the original parts which is cool

Shame you didnt get the p slots - they guy in Leeds kept them then as I know rsdub let them go with it when he sold….guy in Leeds also removed the stripes as rsdub put them on - yeah I know about my pics as I cleaned up my photobucket

Cool that youve got it running spot on - its a really really really good MK1 but you know that cos you bought it

This is the only pic Ive got left :

cool thanks for the pic

i used to have them wheels on my polo

there off a corrado g60 are they not?

is the guy from leeds on here?

i wana find the wheels if i can!

yep G60 corrado - rsdub still had them last time I spoke to him cos I sold it with them on and pirelli's refurbed with no tyres went with it

no they guy from leeds is not on here as far as I know - ive got two sets of pirelli p's but unfortunately they are not the MK1 ones  

you should be able to pick some up tho - PM 8valverpaul on here as I know he picked up a spare set and he may sell them  :dontknow: he's also on ED38

I think I contacted malc when this car was for sale, not to buy the car but to ask about the alloys.
Now the pictures in the add I saved to remind me what they were. So here you go.
Good looking car.

She is b-e-a-utifull!!
