My Resto 1982.... ENGINE START! With video!
This is the second time i had have to type all this post out as i accidently crossed it off grrrr. The annoyance!
Im completely restoring my 1982 golf gti that i bought a few monthes back from a man on ebay for ?75! Very very good buy! But it may not seem it from the pictures that follow.
Its all pritty solid. apart from the front and rear valances and thats it.
The man bought it to restore but never had time, he bought it in the same state that i got it and its just been sat on his driveway being neglected.
Now pictures of when i got her back.
Original gti 1800 engine in bits (Might do a 20vt conversion)
And some pics of after i striped her bare.
Some lovely rot
And heres some pics of after abit of bodywork
And thats as far as i have got within a month or so.
Alot of work to doooo
Plus i dislike bodywork and thats what im doing first.
Tell me what you think?
Cheers
