No Face ... The Project

Hello all

this was my old golf, she was a 1990 clipper which was nice at the time but IMO all clippers look the same just about



so i took her bumpers off smoothed and filled and lowered her more of banded steels and i thought i was the cats whiskers in it

but due to work i had to sell her



now my daily is a lupo which is modified and my current show car and also my daily


but now i am bored and wanted a new project as i like to get my hands dirty, not one of these girly girls. i like to do alot if not all the work myself and i NEEDED to get another mk1 for sure.

so i bought a 1982 irish mk1 that is half way through a 1.8t conversion.

but she is a mess, its very half arsed and full of mistakes but she is mine now

let the love begin !!!

Welcome to the tintop    The shell looks solid - is it?

Judging by the lupo I guess it wont be staying black?

the chassis is mint all the rust has been chopped out with donor panels welded in

it will stay black but its not my fav colour

Cool a nice 3 door.

I shall be watching with interest. I presume it's going to be 'show car standard' when it's done?

Perhaps you'd like to have a chat with my Wife? She won't even empty the ash tray in her cars     

Not too much work to do then.

I'm not the biggest lupo fan but love the colour of yours, very nice  

very nice

gonna be a long project i reckon as she has almost no good interior parts and i cant get the engine to spark

its running 12v over the coil packs but drops to almost nothing on a key turn

the power cables are huge and very badly connected so gonna get some with less girth and start from there  

First time I've heard a woman asking for less girth!  

(Sorry, couldn't resist that one   )

Um, well yes but the point is MK1's!  
Back on topic for me I think!  

lads ay ….

well not much has changed really still trying to sort out the wiring

but took this cheeky shot of my two girls



dub love

Yep, we're like children really!    

Nice cheeky shot. Good to have a show car as a daily  

Youre golf probably isnt that high, but it looks it next to the Lupo
