my name is Chris, I'm German but living in Spain. I like Pi ņa Coladas and long walks on the beach.
Be gentle with me, none of my grandfathers was a pilot Anywho, I bought this heap last winter:
It is (was) a somewhat neglected 92 Genesis.
Now it looks like that:
Not quite ready, but soon. I shall trow together a thread about that in the right forum!
Cheers,
Chris

By any chance are you a fan of Genesis?
Because I am!
Starting to look real good so what's next on the list to do?

There's me building mine 28 years ago, almost finished!
Be proud of your VW Golf Mk1, it's very special!

Sadly I detest Genesis, so the stickers stay off it, though I had them made and put aside.
The plan:
Rebuilt head (sticky thermostat caused the headgasket to blow)- done
Full service- done minus brakes
Respray- done
New radiator- done
New shift linkage- done
Coilovers- done, on the cheap for now with crap-tastic TA-Technix. -40 front, -20 rear
Polish the wheels- done but need a finishing touch and clear powder
Leather interior- done
Ditch the four-eye grille for a chrome 1x1 3-piece grille- done
Black blinkers- on their way
GTI dash face and center console- in my garage
Nardi Monza steering wheel- done
New roof- done
New windscreen- done
All new seals for roof and doors- halfway through
Full stainless exhaust- still looking for a nice setup
That's all. Though I probably forgot half as parts are dirt cheap. I'm used to classic French car and Japanese 4x4 prices
