project poop

Picked this up last night for the wife






must say the drive home was interesting 8O

plans are as follows.

strip down, repaint brown, creme hood, early style arch's grille and bumpers. drop it on its bum with some g60 steelies.

apart from the paint everything is on the shelf :mrgreen:

I saw this on E-bay.how much did you get it for.you plan to do all the work yourself.
I'll be watching this one.

LOL yea tried to buy it on here was up for ?599 but the guy didnt get back to me.

Won it for ?321 but he snapped the handle on the hood last night so paid ?300.

Its very manky but ideal to rip apart.

Yea all work will be done by me or mates

Thats a good price ?300.   .Im still looking for my first mk1 golf and it will also be my first car .

?300 is to much!

Runs drives smells looks like a dog!

I'm lucky that I have everything to repair otherwise it would cost a fortune to put right.

If I remember I used to see this parked up in a village near Southam called Napton?
Glad somebody rescued it, good luck mate.
 

Napton on the hill

Today has been a funny one, trried to sort the lumpy running to no joy, despite finding the rotor has been rubbing the dizzy cap.

So new parts fitted.

Did the tracking aswell, was off the scale! It's now ok, but after a blast down the road found that it was still shifty steering, had a look about and found the bottom arm bent like a banana! Looks like it's been jacked up a few times and screwed it!

Also found out what the noise was from the rear, wheel bearing shot, so much so that the wheel had 10mm of movement!

The joys of eBay motors! LOL

So as I'm off to Italy tomorrow it can wait.

does anyone know where i can get some of those bead seat covers??

wanted some for ages but cant find them??

-funkstar i dont suppose you want to get rid of them do you mate lol??

LOL your the 2nd person that wants my beads!

Offers by pm! LOL

Just a quick update on the pooper

Still cant get it running right, despite replacing lots of hoses that were rotten and fixing broken wiring.

Going to chusk a load of injector cleaner through it to see if it makes any difference.

Removed the kit to find to my suprise no rust! 8O

Going to swap over the a arms tonight and see if i can get the steering feeling right.
