1981 Golf MK1 (1.8 20vt) with BBS RMs

Amazing build, well done fella.

One question, what was the heat shield upgrade you did on the bulkhead for? Is that to shield it from the exhaust?

wheels look sweet mate

Cheers mates,

Downster32: That shield for turbo and downpipe. they produce so much heats :wink:

foxymk1: i m still wondering the top secret project

Time to go for paint. i think dark grey color for wheels.



Meanwhile,
brake setup was
cleaned and painted,
discs were skimed,
all bolts were locktited and
new EBC brake pads fitted.




….

It's going to look great on those BBS rims…

Can't wait to see the pics!

Any comments for wheels?  

Stunning!  8O I love it mate, really really nice!  8)

I think you need a red grille trim, that would be the icing on the cake!  

Great look to it with the new wheels, looks ready for a good drive!
