mk1 golf notop! *updated original post

cheers guys was hoping to borrow one from a friend and in return for the lending of it, i would get it resleaved etc.
(mainly to make it easier for me to use)

but if i can find one i'd love to have my own.

how do you get the front screen out of one of these things?????????????????????????????????????????

kick it out from the inside. easier if you've got seats in.

If you wnat to keep the screen intact it might be best to cut the rubber off the back so it's not held in and it'll come straight out the front.

I've tried to save a tinted screen by prising the rubber around the screen surround - I'd hardly even started to get it out and th sreen split right down the middle.  ops:

update for you all, here she is.







.

any thoughts?

yeah it started life as a gold cabby :mrgreen:

it's noow getting so light that i can nearlly lift the rear end off the floor.

will this cause many problems for me??????

When are you going to stop dreaming and get some serious work done on this project?
I like the idea,god im even thinkin of buying an old cab myself and buggy'in it! Be quicker than waiting for you to pull your finger out and crack on with it!
Just buy a welder there only about ?230 from machine mart and it will soon pay for itself if you know how to use it.
Do you honestly have any idea what your doing at all? (seeing as you ask so many important questions that you should already have sorted in your head before attempting a job like this) I dont think so….

Come on mate i hope you take this as constructive critisism and are not offended,i as many other people following this build are eager to see some results instead of just stripping out and pondering.

I would re-design the way the dash is secured so that you dont need to access the bolts from the sides anymore.
Work the problems and create the solutions….
Now put your spliff down and crack on with some real creation on your project we are all waiting to see some good results…

That told ya.

Better pull your finger out then.  :wink:

cheers mate, believe me noone wants this finished more than me. but i have a few problems that havn't really been broadcast much, i don't have a garage, i am not loaded, i need to save up cash to do anything on this. this is fine UNTIL the corsa head gasket goes and i need to get it fixed. ok the ?800 bill may have been fine for you, but not me. instead i had to borrow a garage for the weekend and fix it myself. so it would only cost me ?400.

sorry if i'm holding you up mate. but feel free to go out and make your own.

sorry to all the guys that a would appear to have let down.

and as for asking questions?
well i thought this site was here for that reason.
surley i'm better off asking now rather than waiting till after the project is nearly finished. just because you would like to see what it looks like.

it's all there the end goal is the same. the questions that are being asked by me are just fine details.

you may say that i shouldn't be doing this if i've not had hat much experiance, but i learn as i go. and i'm happy with that.

hope to get some real work done soon tho.

I'm 15 though mate ?50 a week from working part time doesn't get much done.  :wink:

I have to agree with both points

Sawthe update, new pics and thought

WOW, work may be done!!! But nope..

But then i Understand where your coming through as well, money doesnt grow on tree's and ideas are good to have in your head, shared can help you overcome an dunderstand your own questions

So crack on at your own speed, take your time and do it your way!!!
If it takes 10 years, yeah, we'll take the michael a bit. but at least its better than going to a scrapy, I've a couple of projects i'm about to start, and one of them, may take longer than this..

you take your time im in no rush

shifting big stuff on ebay for pennies at the mo, when thats gone. we're off.
hurry up ebay.

wing off today, this it what i found:

not too bad, thought it was a lot worse:

Dude you crack on at your own pace, i know what its like to start a project with no money and very little experience, hell it took me 5 years  8O  to finish my polo,

just remember the saying….

"Good things come to those who…."

 :wink:
