VW Golf lx

Firstable i am sorry for bad English, cause i have forgotten almost  all the grammar from school years  :?
ok so from newbie topic to project. forum  few years ago we(i and my father) bought vw golf mk1 LX,  built in 1983. 1,5 l engine JB code and with some specific parts like arches gti, steering wheel,.. 270 000km on speedo
first day






after few days i bought Raceland sport seats and schroth seat belts

 two sets of original Gti green glasses with doors and boot for   100lt so about (25 pounds)


firstable i had Ats classic r13 6j

 nice wheels but to small in J

 i found something nice

 i wont show everything that i have done from fiberglass because everything was  removed only one picture

  another set of ats classic but now  7j ET20 i LOVE them

just for fun in white

 and suddenly i understood that i dont need fiberglass in my car and firstable bought new fenders

 Momo corse steering wheel and part that was needed to put that wheel into mk1


a little bit different rear view

metal works

i cant work without music

finally my friend came to help with welding, daily horses  


later  in the evening


 and  preparation for painting

after few weeks

happppyyy

strut brace home made

 
a little bit drop

photos, how it looks at the moment. Still  exist much of work to do, but i am happy everytime i open my garage doors and see this car, also now are coming new front coilovers  from Germany, because in Lithuania its hard to find specific parts for mk1

looks great mate has it still got the orginal engine in or not  

oh i forget to tell about it. engine will be stock till i earn enough money for something more powerful. just changed some parts, for normal engine work

Good jobe mate  :wink:

some new photos   thinking about fender flares, about engine conversion, and many other things i need to do







and gti front spoiler is not for me yet,tooo low     after the ride need to take one part back in place

them wheels are bad ass, r14 7j are they??

r13 7j et20 with a little bit camber , one day i was riding with spacers 5mm but sadly have to remove due to tyres rubbing

Loverly.

Good work !

I like the fact that your tyres aren't very low profile, your car looks better for it. The ride must be fairly comfortable too. Looks great just out of the body shop, well done.

yeah i like the high profile too, i want some.

The car is coming along great.  Looking forward in see more changes.

great to see people enjoy the same car all over the world. looks really good my friend - silver like mine....good stuff!!!

Thanks

 The ride must be fairly comfortable too.

i can't say that the ride is really comfortable with coilovers but  of course 185/60 tyres give a little bit more comfort to me especially in bad condition roads   and cause  golf isfirst low car i have its very interesting to drive      .
 now i have exam session so can only think about  future works, and  decide,  put gti flares on arches or only  small flares on rear arches, because at the moment car have too much body colour and small amount of black details for beautiful  colour contrast and view and after session will end to make front upper and lower strut braces and make small and gti front spoilers molds from fiberglass, interesnting but in Lithuania small spoilers are more rare than gti  and also with molds i dont need to worry about losing or crashing spoilers

Good Job mate

wow, good work. i wish my lx looked like that, the only thing left on it the same as mine is the dashboard lol.

spray job looks mint and the stance is crack on, loving the arches with no plastic on too.
