Jimbo's Mk1 Golf 1.8t

I am using those rear beam bushes as well mate. Fairly easy to get in aren't they.

 

Ha yeah, a bit easier then the old ones!

Last day until Easter on the golf today
Took out one of the shims from either side, but something still wasn't right:



So today removed the shims and lifted the coilovers a touch, and took all the paint off the mating parts.

Back together;

Still doesn't look right?!

Carpet and front seats back in;


Also noticed, with the new bigger front brake, the wheel poke!


Wing and bonnet back on


Just needs a horn switch sorting and front seats belts fitting and it'll be ready for an mot. Just can't afford until who knows when

hope this doesn't offen but those wheels look huge

No offence taken! They're only 15s!

oh right

i know very little about wheels and offsets things like that so i suppose i should keep quite

but that last photo they just look big, might be a the angle

sorry

Ha no worries 

Here's a sis view:

 

see that looks better!

Jimbo mine stick out a mile too on mine. Gonna try and get them in a bit and get the camber right but mine are ET35 with 10mm spacers on the front

The camber is all set up, got it done a while ago. And I thought I had spacers on mine but went to take them off and there wasn't any! Just going to run it like that. Touch wood I don't get stopped 

You'll be fine mate as long as you don't drive like a knobber    

Mot booked for tomorrow at 2!
Just got home…
 need to fit a horn switch and fit the seat belts and that's it I think- early start tomorrow!!

Good luck mate.  

Well it failed and it'd be a rush to get it sorted for tomorrow's MOT, so I won't be taking it back down to Cornwall with me When I'm back for a week at Easter ill get it on the road

Few pics;
seatbelts fitted;


Also covered some holes with military BDR tape


List of fails;

i cant believe the seats one is a fail though?!!

And I thought as I wasn't taking the golf back with me I may as well take some bits to clean up back down with me…


taking the coilovers and callipers for clean and paint…

how it'll sit for a few weeks

Ah pants news Jimbo.

Sorry she failed mate. Go and have a beer.  

Ha cheers mate. Good thing is I won't be skint this month…!
Beers tomorrow night

the only worrying one is number 8 suspension/rust

the rest is just ball ache fitment of bits

There only small patches. It's because its within a certain distance (like 10 inches?!) of the ream beam. Will only take a few hours to cut out and replace. It's the steering arm drum stick (which I just the track rod end isn't it?!) that's the pain, as GSF didn't have them in stock when I rang up earlier…
