New Mk1 gti

Got this golf from scotland on monday it had the M.O.T thursday and failed on just about everything. I've now done every thing other than the welding it needs. This will be done for Wednesday hopefully then we can get this baby back on the road.

you bought that car from cam 80 up in leslie didnt you . i seen you driving it last week well i think it was you. do you have blondish hair :dontknow: Anyway good luck with the resto and hope it's a good car for you

Hi, yes i did. I do have blondish hair also hehe. It is a good car now its had all that welding and new bits and bobs. The exhaust was hanging off and was attached to the manifold with one bolt. I've sorted that now so hopefully it will be a tad faster now the exhaust is sealed right. It was about half an inch away from the manifold (very loud and couldn't breath in the car haha.

hi nice car just wondering what wheels thay are? also what size?

hi,
They are called Azev A, they are 205/45/16.

Go to google type "Azev A's" go to images and my car should be the 1st car on there.

You can get them from ebay for about ?549-?569 without tyres tho.
Thanks

Cars lookin good with the wings painted  8)

Good to hear its running well and had all the welding done.

Can't believe the manifold was hanging on by 1 bolt  8O, that maybe why it came up as exhaust leaky at front on the MOT.  

Have you managed to get the buzzer stopped yet. I found the best way to get rid of it was to turn my mp3 player up full!!

Any way keep us up to date with the progress, i'm interested in seeing it when you've finished it.

Hi, still not sorted the buzzer yet. I posted a thread on here asking if any one has had the same problem and how to solve it. All I need to do now is get all of the air out of the new brakes after i've fitted the 16v master cylinder and weld the rear lower panel up as it is rotten and failed in the M.O.T
