My Mk1 Golf GLi Cabby Project

Now before you all start getting excited I haven't started it yet. I have 2 months of tax left on the car, conveniently sees me through til the end of summer  :wink:  then it will be time to take off the road and get cracking on the old girl (or boy I haven't checked yet   )

My list of to do's (have a browse and let me know what you think to the idea's)

* Get the car running right (will start on this friday)
* Oil service (again this friday)
* Very wash and polish (friday  :roll: )
* Take off the Team Dynamics alloys (will be going up for sale so if anyones interested let me know) and refit the Tarantula's
* Enjoy til tax runs out (ongoing )

Take off the road for winter

* Engine out and full rebuild
* Everything stripped for full respray (sticking with the colour)
* Complete refresh of bushes, lines etc etc
* Nice sports exhaust for a subtle tone (not too much though)
* Decent stereo and speakers (no subs or fancy install, been there done that)
* Replace interior as my is worn from years of use
* Complete new hood (head liner and stuff) frame looks to be ok but we will see
* Nice alarm with all the bells and whistles (recommendations please  :dontknow:  )
* Smoked headlights, indicators and rear lights
* Get some AEZ cups rims or similar (these seem to have taken my fancy)
* Finally (for now) wrap the bumpers, spats, chin spoiler, number plate holder and mirrors in genuine carbon fibre  :twisted:

Will add/update as and when I get things done or find more things to do. Unfortunately time is a bit of an issue as I work away alot so this may take a while  

Here is the starting point

looks like a good start with it

plus very organized with the list, that will definatly get longs

keep us posted

* Finally (for now) wrap the bumpers, spats, chin spoiler, number plate holder and mirrors in genuine carbon fibre

was thinking about this for my own car, i would like to see the results

That's a good looking car already! I like the colour.

Make sure that you take loads of pictures as you go because you'll look at them on and off over the years if you keep it.

I know what you mean Dano, I had a 3 series BMW that I spent extensive money on over the years, I look at the pics now and still amazed how good it looked when I had finished.

I'm finalising the traders list for the AGM at the moment, we have a few more than last year if everyone turns up!!!

One of the traders (waterworx) will be doing a vinyl wrapping service if all goes well.
