My mk1 - ex Impact/Dubsport car

A bit of a rubbish update but hopefully should be getting the pay painted sometime in the near future (maybe the rest of the car too if funds permit)

Anyway now you see it

Now you dont


Magic!  

   

Cool.. still remember this car as a bare shell in Awesomes workshop over 15 years ago..

I wish I'd seen it when it was first done.
Addicted - think im going to fit the pedal box i bought from you about 5 years ago (sick of seeing it lying about)

What's the location of OCD who I assume rebuilt your charger ?.

Heres a link mate. Matt was really helpful

Thanks  

Another update without a photo of the car.
Bought a new wiper motor from a Fiat uno/fiorino so that I can do away with the linkage system

Been on removing the sound deadening over the weekend. Hours of fun with a scraper and a tin of cellulose thinners.


Just about finished that.
 
Also ended up buying some new seats from a Honda breakers that I spotted out on my travels. They're alcantara bolsters etc with cloth centres and red stitching. Theres a couple of small marks but nothing major. Just need some runners for them now.


And finally my mate Anthony found some photos of the car in old PVW magazines



(my red car is the one for sale in the bottom right as well)

I like those Honda Recaros. They look really comfy

Thanks mate.
The funny thing is I've been looking at Recaros on ebay for the last few months then all of a sudden I come across these locally. It must be fate  

What colour blue is that ? looks great on your mk1 first time i have seen it on a mk1 golf before.

I dont think its any standard colour. In the mag it said it was a Honda shade (similar to Angel blue used on old mopeds) but I'm not too sure.
In the end I've just matched it to the nearest paint chip I could find. Once the whole cars re-painted you'll never tell the difference……… I hope  

paint it miami blue, very similar and its an original mk1 colour  

I checked to see how similar Miami/ Florida/ Olympic blue was at a local paint supplier and they were too light and looked more what I'd class as a "baby blue".

I quite like the shade it is because its a little more greeny in low light conditions.
I seriously considered Angel blue but could find anywhere that could mix it so went for the chip instead.

ahh fair enough. on pics it does look similar to miami though. i agree with you on the florida blue, exactly the same as baby blue.

yeh the colour on it now is like a turquoise isnt it. when you looking at having it in paint?

Tomorrow hopefully  

plenty of mk1 love going on this weekend then. mines getting painted sunday  

Nice one. Wish mine was finished to be honest. Here she is leaving yesterday 
 

Love the colour mate.  

any idea when it will be painted?
