owned this golf for 12 months and work done so far
Photos of whole project up to now, busy rebuilding the front suspension just now and then run brake pipes, fuel tank etc
Hope you enjoy the photos, just shows how rotten the old girl was

Wow that looks great 😃
What underlay is that what you have used? Also have you got a carpet yet as I'm looking for one at the moment and wondered where if you have one you think of the quality ?
Cheers
Hi, I bought the underlay off ebay, its pretty thick and comes in a big roll and just cut to size, I have a new carpet from Newton Commercial as the old carpet had lots of corrosion stains on it, I have fitted it and it looks a treat, just not totally finished the floor yet incase theres any wiring problems when I introduce the battery again. Thanks

I've sat on a 1.8 gti for 6 years that that needs far less welding and I'm contemplating scrapping it! The only reason I don't is its my other car's younger brother in regards to its number plate similarity. I need to find someone like yourself that's willing to take it on! http://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/forum/index.php?page=topicview&id=general-chat_3%2Fpoor-old-gti-0&=

Fair play for taking that on. I think I would have scrapped it.!

Just checked the link out Graham. I'd forgotten you had that. Had forgotten what you looked like dressed as a man too!
