silver 1.6 gti

Thought i might show some pics of my mk1 which i restored about a year ago.Now my daily it is a 1.6 gti…



when i started it..

hi bud, don't know if it's just me bein thick! but i can't get your link to your pic's to work? and i'd love to see your car, maybe someone can help, take care    al

Yeah i am not to sure on how to up load the pics...i am useing photobucket ??i will try and sort it..

on photobucket under the photo there are 4 text boxes

copy the bottom one the IMG code and simply paste it on this site

hth

sorted nice one,.... this is how it looks at the moment.

lovely looking car

you got any before pictures as well

some before pics done all the work my self polly bushed it converted the drums to discs new brake lines through out discs and pads new fuel lines through out..Did have to get someone to weld the rear arches..



Coilovers went on..

Took it for its mot like that..only failed on a couple of bulbs

Drove it around looking like this for a month and thought i gotta spray it properly..


put my bros gotti cups on…


So i borrowed a bit of space near where i work to give it a proper spray didn't come out to bad..It is alot of work don't know if i would do it again…


Make shift booth haha


rolled it out in the sun to bake




Old dash out




new one in


sprayed up a couple of things




As i work with fiberglass i made up some doorcards and small bumpers and end caps.. got the mold for the bumpers of a 78 golf i had..







engine is standard.. 4 to 1 and and a jetex system.. changing the wheels asap so the ronals will be going up for sale.. will get some pics of the interior soon..

the pic's were worth waiting for bud,  really nice lookin car, and the fibreglass bumpers are impressive! well done, keep us updated,    al

WOW….. I love silver and that looks super clean…. maybe I should get my rear in gear and sort mine out lol.  Stunning mate!!

Very clean!  Are you planning on putting the hatch and side decals with flares back on?

nice work mate don't suppose youve thought about producing any more of those bumpers ??

Thanks for the comments guy's yeah i was thinking of putting the decals back on still can't decide what to do..Do you think i should??

As for the bumpers yeah i could make up a few sets.. gonna try and get some carbon fiber ones done now when i get time..The mold is not mint as the bumpers i copied had a few dings and dongs in them still look good enough though..

Just got my self another mk1 1.1 on a y body is mint..will get some pics up asap…G60 i think do it better than this one..can't wait to get it started..

Nice job but you should change the air exhauster.
This one doesnt fit very nice to this very nice MKI  :roll:   :borg:

drop me a line about the bumpers if you decide to make some mate I'd fancy a set for my cabby

Dude make me a set of black bumpers for less than bigboystoys and your quids in. Can't bring myself to spend £300+ on two bumpers.

Nice one lads yeah will get on and make some up and give you a shout see what you think…Good thing about fiberglass it don't rust…

love the car looks great. i would be interested in a set of bumpers if the price is right pm me please about the bumpers.

im with everyone else. thos bumpers would be mint!

nice build by the way. i love seeing a car before and after spray makes me NEED to spray mine

let us know about thos bumpers tho yeah?
