1981 Golf MK1 (1.8 20vt) with BBS RMs

Finally start my MK1 Project…

I wanna say my feelings about MK1. Golf is the car which i born in it. the car which i drive first and
the car that i love so much. everybody know that MK1 is father of all hot hatchs. it is very special for me, for you and for car industry.

i wanna thanks all of you to keep MK1 Golfs on road and brilliant…

anyway, finally i found a MK1 again(because my family sold our golf seven years ago) and give a chance to her to keep moving…

Excellent start mate…Looks like this is going to be a good build to keep an eye on.

What type of welding machine will you be using to welds panels back into place?

Keep the updates coming.

thanks for your comments mates,

i found them in my local vw parts supplier. rear arches are last ones. he keep them for his own mk1 but he sold car. so hi decided to sell. good chance for me  

i need only front wings, will buy this week. after that im ready to start welding…

Good luck with your project  :wink: Where abouts are you in Cyprus? Been there a few times (got married there, Paralimni 2006) and never saw one   But the captain of the marriage yacht had a nice Mk2 Gti  
Keep up the good work

hi Chris, handsome babies….
im glad to meet someone know Cyprus  , yes, i live in Cyprus and you right Chris, nowadays Mk1s are very few in my country. so very hard to find parts for my car.  

but, everybody knows that (dont give up the fight!!!) :wink:

nice to meet you…

Once it's done you'll have to take it up the Troodos mountain roads to the market at the top   A lovely drive apart from I did it in a hired Vitara  :roll: Or Protaras to Paphos and back   Did that in a hired Megane cab  :roll:  :roll: Amazing view when you get to the part where the motorway drops towards Paphos  :mrgreen:

hi everyone,
actually, when i started to my project, i decided to make it 1.8 or 2.0 16v, but now i have new idea: 1.8t as you see.
i find that mk4 gti as a donor which has only 40.000 miles.

i need comments about this conversation, who have any experience or knowledges. :wink:  

cheers

 some photos of donor

my friends,
can i fit the gearbox of mk4 gti to the my car?
i know that, need to solve hydraulic cluch, and cable shift. i have all parts.

anything else? like axe, front hubs shafts or etc…

thanks your helps…

You can use the gearbox but will need to change the output shafts for some 100mm ones from an early diesel mk4 or som of the seats had them with the o2j box.  You'll need to make new rear and left side mounts along with the new mount for the right side.  Stick with the mk1 hubs and go for some biggger brakes as the original mk1 brakes are no way up to the job of a 1.8t.  You need some 100mm mk1 driveshafts off a late cabrio.  Cable shift is easy to sort the hydraulic pedal is a bit of a pain but not too bad if you're proficient with a welder and simple fabrication work.

thanks mrpurple,

hi mates,

i started to prepare my engine bay for 1.8t :mrgreen:








bad rust


cheers…
