83 mk1 gti resto (PORSCHE PEST) sadly everything for sale

LEAVING THEM UNCOVERED JUST NEEDED TO REMOME THAT NON GENUINE TRAY AND FRESHEN UP THE BAY

OK SO MY WIFES BEEN OUT SALES SHOPPING AND ITS GIVEN ME A FEW HOURS TO CLEAN UP SOME BITS

Very nice work. Engine bays aren't the easiest things to do, but it'll be well worth it in the end.

Looking great!

THANKS FOR THE COMMENT ,MY LAST GTI CABBY HAD A FAIR FEW HOURS SPENT DETAILING THE ENGINE BUT I THINK YOU MAY HAVE TAKEN IT ONE STEP FURTHER  

I WAS IN TO MINDS WEATHER TO DO THIS BUT THERE WAS A COUPLE OF OLD REPAIRS ON THE FRONT PANEL THAT I WASNT TO HAPPY ABOUT AND I WANT MY CHIN SPOILER TO FIT NICE AND TIGHT SO OFF IT MUST COME,AND ITS GOING TO MAKE PREPPING THE FRONT INNER WINGS A LOT EASIER IF NOTHING ELSE  


I BET A FEW OF YOU HAVE WELDED THIS REPAIR PATCH IN BEFORE LOL

A QIUCK SPLODGE OF FILLER

I WILL DEAL WITH THAT AFTER NEW YEAR  

MY NEW NUMBER PLATE HOLDER I COULDENT RESIST IT.FROM A VAG DEALER IN HUNGARY

JUST A QUICK UPDATE ON MY SLOW PROGRESS

AFTER TALKING TO A COUPLE OF OTHER MK1 OWNERS ABOUT THE FRONT END LAST WEEK I THINK THE ONLY WAY TO GO WAS WITH A GENUINE VAG PANNEL TO INSURE A BETTER FIT

WITH THE BAY ALREADY  IN ETCH PRIMER I REMOVED THE DASHBOARD SO I COULD REMOVE THE LAST OF THE WIRING LOOM AND PIPE WORK FROM THE BULK HEAD READY FOR A COAT OF PRIMER


THE BAY IN PRIMER AND THE STEERING RACK BACK IN AGAIN READY TO PUSH IT OUT IN THE MORNING BEFORE WORK STARTS

IN MY SPARE TIME I DECIDED TO REMOVE THE SCUTTLE PANEL

WITH THE HEATER REMOVED THERE WAS A BIT OF RUST AT THE FRONT OF THE MOUNTING HOLE WITCH I CUT OUT AND REWELDED THE CHASSIS NUMBER IN

WITH THE HEATER OUT IT WAS TIME TO PLATE THE MATRIX PIPE HOLE

MY MATE GARY HELPED REMOVE THE HEATER AND I PAID HIM IN CRISPS       
OK HERES A PIC OF THE A POST WERE THE REAR OF THE WING BOLTS ON,THE SECURING HOLES WERE A BIT WORN SO TO INSURE A TIGHT /SECURE FIT I DRILLED THEM OUT AND FITTED 6M NUT INSERTS

Super impressive work buddy! How have you got so competent at welding!? not to mention your tekkers with everything else aha!

AS I CANT GET ON WITH MY ENGINE BAY FOR A WHILE I PULLED A FEW BITS OUT OF THE GARAGE

THIS CENTRE CONCEL USED TO BE BROWN BUT I TEXTURE COATED IT BLACK AND ITS LIKE NEW AGAIN

I ALSO TEXTURE COATED THE DASH UNDER TRAYS WHICH FRESHENED THEM UP

I VE BEEN SITTING ON A COUPLE OF MINT DASHES FOR A WHILE WHICH HAD NO SAGGING OR CUTS SO I TREATED THIS ONE TO SOME NEW HEATER VENTS

A PAIR OF NEW DOOR CARDS WITH NO HOLES IN AS IM FITTING ELECTRIC WINDOWS FROM A CABBY

ALSO I GOT A PAIR OF AUDIOSCAPE SPEAKER / DOOR POCKETS

JUST A COUPLE OF RANDOM NEW BITS BUT IT THOUGHT I WOULD LOG IT DOWN IN THE THREAD

OK SO I GOT A FEW BITS IN CHROME BUT IM NOT SURE IF IM GOING TO USE THEM YET AS I GOT A LOT OF STUFF ALREADY POWDER COATED IN BLACK

very nice build mate, still think your old "binned" mk1 had loads of goodies on it

If u dnt mind me askin mate but how much was it to have the bonnet catch chromed? Both bits ( looks sweet btw) if u dnt use them lol I'll buy em off ya lol
