mk1 golf Geneva import

This is my mk1 Golf imported from Geneva iv had for the last 4 years started life as a 1.5 then put a 2.0 16V on webber 45 in it. As you will see it had a lot of work done on it like new front panel and rear panel full respray rolled arch's and much more here are some pic of it so far

This is how is was 4 years ago be fore i pulled it apart








start of the strip down





















some new panel where needed




















time to lay some paint down i think



















time for the engine to going back in after it make over

















time to start fitting every think back on to her now fun time ahead









polished all me door locks and catches








old headlining out new one going in







air ride time now






made 8V cam top cover fit 16V head look so much better than the plastic one that come on them






after iv put all this work in to putting the engine in this iv have now just pulled it out to stick an TDI pd lump in it and the 2.0 16V on 45 is now being drop in to another mk1 golf i got this i put a build up on that another time but here a little taster on of it so far not done much to it yet other than lower it and wheels and now new engine
















engine had a repaint as well











thanks for looking i put more pic up once i pull me finger out to put pd lump in and the 16V in the other mk1  

wow , that looks awesome !
Great pics.

May I ask you a few questions:
How much did it cost to import? What was your budget to refurb it?

Excellent thread! Great progress matey keep my eye on this. 

Fully agree with the 16v timing cover too, plastic ones looks boring.
