mk1 1982 gti project more pictures.

My mates just melted one of them on his ibiza. Sore one  :redfaced: offered to buy them lol Good pics mate likeing the look of it lol Was talking to a lad in edinburgh about his standard 16v mk1 reckoned was faster on the strip more reliable and used less fuel. It was a 8v gti on twin webbers with a cam n other head work.
Got me thinking though lol  :wink:

i might just fiddle around with the standard one for the moment see what comes about

anyone got a bonnet catch spring? one day i opened the bonnet and it was all pulled and to jack, dont have a clue what went on.. but i dont know where to find one or anything i also need some small trim clips for the bottom of the door.

anyone know what JOM-BLUELINE coilovers are like? thinking of getting a set for the time being untill i save for some better ones?

went for a mot and guess what..!
failed on the headlights being out due to the earth not connected, my trusty little bodyshop man didnt connect them properly, suppose il let him off that because he done such a good job..
and of corse one or two bulbs out,

i had a small hole on the inner front sill due to some idiot missing the jacking point and making a nice little dent, with a little help from mother nature and her wicked ways a small hole about 2inches long.
got that sorted straight away and the lights,
handbrake failed due to my shoes being on their last legs
so got new shoes and cylinders just incase better safe than sorry
and my steering gaters had split so orderd some new ones.
last of all a little hole in my exaust but that was an advisary thingy to get sorted so may aswell get a new one because the old one looks pretty wackk.. :?
well got these sorted so some day this week get it back in and get a lovley pass
woooooo
