Mk1 GTI Cabby.The Project So Far... NOW SOLD :( !

Hopefully!

I'm quite excited to see what a difference it'll make.

Ordered a bonnet bra for the journey up to the AGM. Not really keen on how they look, but if it saves my paintwork from stone chips…that's the main thing.

Shame you may not be making the AGM.

Would be great to see your motor….

look forward to seeing the pics :-)

See it in the flesh at the AGM if you're going Rich!  :wink:

Got my speedo sorted finally today! I'm a happy chappy…

Had a new grille arrive today.

Going to try an get it cleaned up and fitted in time for the AGM.



Also bought a bonnet bra for protection only purposes whilst motorway driving…not sure how it'll look!?



Car will be back from the Detailer tomorrow. He's going to take before and after photos so I'll get them posted once received.

Got her back from the detailer today.

What a great job he did.

Removed all swirl marks and gave everything externally a G-Techiq protection…

I'll let the pics do the talking (there's a few)

Pics were taken with my iphone so not great quality.







































Cleaned up the replacement grille today.



Put the spotlights in the dishwasher to get them nice and clean too (don't tell the Mrs!!)


Really looking forward to the AGM now. Be sure to come and say hello and have a beer as we're newbies! We'll be in a light blue splitscreen camper.

Just sorted out the lights for my grille.

Had to split one of the lenses from its casing as it had a hole in it.



Luckily I had a spare so swapped them over.

The dishwasher did the trick lovely! Dried them out with a hair dryer before siliconing back together.





Fit it back on the car tomorrow!

I can not wait to see this in the flesh at the AGM, class :mrgreen:

Fair play that is amazing.

Told you it would make a big difference.

Fingers crossed I can make the AGM to see it.

looks awsome!

Thanks guys.

Really pleased with the results.

Shame it's gonna get dirty dirty going to the AGM!  

Hopefully it'll stop raining…

Hi Danj,just reading about the blue Convertible and saw that you have some wheels for sale soon,which ones are they.ta jamie

No new pics to upload really.

A few from Devon dub fest last weekend…











Going to vw action in a few weeks so will get a load more taken and uploaded.

Need some decent weather!

Did you go to the AG fella?

Long story…

Me Andy bro went, but couldn't park the camper on the grass to get the awning out. Had no where to sleep, so turned around and came home!

10 hour round trip! Argh!

Wipers stopped working on the way home, roof started leaking and rear view mirror fell off.

Had to laugh!

Ooops, wish I hadn't asked, where you leaking from?
I think I sent you a list if leak points etc.

Had new windscreen but it came with no rear mirror either, so got a suction one from halfords, till I get the measurements and glue my replacement on.
That keeps falling off too, from the sucker bit, so glued it all up, so far so good… Lol.
Just got some panels for the Rivage, just need to crack on.

Cheers

Attended VW Action last weekend.

Picked up my 1st trophy in the water cooled modified category.

Very pleased!
