MK1 G60 PROJECT ***coming back out to play**
Hi people
thought it was about time to show my progress of my mk1 which ive been building for the last year and a half.. after selling my old corrado g60 and mk1 g60 im gutted and i cant wait to get this on the road.im planning to have it finished for the edition 38 show at the end of august..
i have loads of pics from start to how it is now,but il try to narrow them down abit..
here we go..
this is when i first brought her, she was in excellent condition
then started the stripping
i brought all brand new vag panels for her..,wings,tailgate and bonnet
then started widening the arches to make way for my wheels (wheels in pic are my winter wheels)
heres my badboys front 8x15 rears 9x15 with 195 tyres
plenty more to come on next post

then brought my new engine, g60 pushing out around 200bhp
and my 4+e mk2 rod change gearbox i will be running
after a bit of a clean up,paint,polishing and replacing the water pump,plugs,filter and many new parts it looks like this
fitted my konigsport coilovers
then prepping the body started
engine was removed and painted before body(bit dusty in pic)

colleccted it from the trimmers today…
heres a couple of quick pics…
i think it looks cool without bumpers,but its a bit late for that as i would of had the holes plated over
i havent put the front door cards on, as i am missing the small metal rods that go from the door catch to the door pins…
check the camper out in the background
