Toad's Mk1 Golf Cabby Project

finally got some more done today….courtesy of Paul Weeding

Paul came down the M6 to weld me in my new rear arch..and a top job he did too.

so I can now get a groove on with the rest of the body work now






and thanks for the Primer Chris (Chris Rivage) and nice Caddy  8)

Top job 8)

I don't normally look in this section but that welding looks pretty good to me.

I may have another customer soon!!!!  :wink:

From the pictures it looks like you have just sanded back to bare metal.  High quality weld.

Its better up close! No sweat happy to help!  

dude the project looks sweet, i have been rebuilding my cabrio for the last two years, i noticed that you have used t pieces for the brakes, i did the same upgrade put just plumbed them straight in to the master cylinder, is that not the correct thing to do then.

my master cylinder is from a 16v mk2 golf and as such is only a two output master cylinder (unlike the one i took off which was 4)

so, in order to keep the braking system working t pieces are used to connect the diaganols

  

ive now invested in a 16v engine and box  

just need to get it home to start the conversion :dontknow:
