My Mk1 Golf 16v - 56k Beware.
The beginning - Bought the car like this a few months back.
After the purchase of some Ronal T's.
Then some Coilovers…
The original 16v was a bit ropey to say the least so work started on the spare 16v which was rebvuilt from the ground up with reworked head and ported inlet and outlets.
The gearbox was pretty good no crunching etc so seals were replaces and Diff bolts etc. Then it was Etch primed and sprayed silver.
.
Started to put the engine back together and got some bits back from powder coating.
.
Got the old engine out the car and gave it a good ol' clean.
Then under the bonnet was done.
Started to get things back together and put into the car.
Then my Manifold came through the post.
Then skip a few bits and its all done!!

i think with keeping the single headlamps, but adding the red trim will give it a nice finishing touch. what do you think?
