My VW Golf C 1982, Rebuild 16v Turbo.

Hello and greetings from Norway.

this is my Project, its a VW Golf MK 1 C 1982
i bought it 5th june 2005.
cause of a job situation i have left it in the barn at my friends house so i havent got to start refurbish it yet.
thou i started again this summer
Its a 1.5l engine stock i dont know yet if im going to tune it or replacement engine i got a VW Golf VR6 Engine in spare but dont know yet.
(since im going to have plates on the car,  the norwegian system is pretty f***** up when it comes to building cars)

Here is a picture of how it looked when i got it home again.




the next step i did was taking of the sidefenders and cutting og the rear wheelarch to weld on the new one i got.




this one is taken after replacing the parts and started grinding it down.

Wow, a lot of work ahead of you pal, good luck and keep us posted. Nuclear.

welcome to the site

today i stripped it some more and found only 2 rust holes in the floor and 1 by the window (and thats about it)
so i got some welding to do tomorow.

i have been working some on my car since last time i post
here you can se i have removed the rust on all of the front section and taking out much under the hood.
