At last new roof on ,
when I got the golf it came with a rather shabby roof so I've spent the last month looking for a replacement ..
trying to find one in good nick and not miles away and not for silly money was proving rather difficult !!!cf_emoticons__BangHead:so when I went to VW festival the other weekend and found this beauty in the auto jumble area I snapped it up (after a fair bit of haggling)
the old roof was black so was a bit unsure about the grey but now it's on I love it and think it adds something different to the car (never seen grey on white before)
so guys what do you think ????
Now I just need one handle (the locking one ) and the tension wire around the back !
The old roof is on eBay as I write this but not getting mush interest ! Is it worth anything ???
hope you like the car

So because I wanted to learn about engines I got one of these……
sorry bout the crappy iphone pics !!
1.8 16v kr
its siezed But that's why it was only £20!!!
But I wanted a project and to teach myself about engines
and maybe one day it could go in the cabbycf_emoticons__BangHeado started stripping it down
pitons 1 and 4 were seized badly and valves were corroded
after lots and lots of banging and swearing I finally freed the pistons
so the plan is to clean everything up ,port and polish the head and I'm also thinking about going down the bike carb route !!!
anybody got any words of wisdom Or maybe a manifold for r1 carbs

Plenty of other people done this route before, so lots of info to glean.

I'm going down the bike carb route, got some from a zx9r. Bogg brothers is about 20 miles from my house, which is very handy

Got any pics or build threads ??
Heard great things about bogg brothers are they expensive ?

I think the bogg brothers manifolds are a tad pricey, but I've rung them to talk about doing the conversion, and they were massively helpful and friendly.
