Mk1 golf gti, 2L 16v, R1 Carbs. Nurburgring Nordschleife

looking great mate! It's come a long way!

Coming along nicely mate.  

More of Lee's progress:

Well, its been sometime since I last updated my build thread. Other than doing Edition38 show last year, cars have taken a back seat due to moving house.

Anyways, now that my mate si's mk1 is nearing completion. Its time to kick start a full repaint of mine 





Bit later after mocking up where i'll be mounting my mocal oil cooler


Did a bit after work today. Very happy to find my inner drivers wing is in great condition and tbh, very sursprised my original wings have survived for so long given that they've had the gti arch trim water traps on. Will be replacing them for new genuine wings or maybe fibreglass. I'll repair my old wings for future projects.




Should have the passenger wing off tomorrow

Cheers si

Yesterday, I got the passenger wing off and today, I removed as much of the original sealer so its ready for a quick wire wheel

I like that first pic, nice

7 hours, blimey!! Then again if they were aftermarket it would have been 14 and they still wouldn't look as good. Nice work

Something like that, includes chatting and head scratching lol. On off on off on off…………..

7 hours is a long time   but it's on and fits great, so well worth it
