New Mk1 Gti Owner - Build Thread

Had to try out the wheels;

Nice  

lovely! this is gona be one sweet car, best of luck with finishing off the build  

what are the wheels they look like rm's but with different centres ?

Yes they are RM's. Not seen these centre caps on them before and I quite liked the look to be honest, (apart from the red badge). Would like to change that but will see how they look once fitted.

i personally like the red centres with the gold bolts

Spent a few hours fitting new seals and door locks this weekend. Had all the catches for the boot and bonnet powder coated and refitted them.



New front grille and splitter fitted -



Engine bay a little more complete -



New carpet fitted -



Could anyone tell me how to change the thread name please? Did a search and couldn't find out how to. Thanks.

Some pictures of the car now its finally MOT'd and been out on the road a handful of times this summer. Also won runner up at FittedUK show in July which made all the late nights in the garage really pay off









Will be taking the Mk1 off the road after this month for some more improvements! 

Lovely MK1 Chris. All the hard work has paid off mate.

What's the plans for her for the winter months?

Thanks mate.

Will be looking to further tidy up the engine bay, fasteners etc. Will be splitting the wheels for a colour change and wider lips on the rear. 

Need to source the odd few parts I'm missing too. Having an issue with hot starting which I need to investigate. 

Plenty to keep you busy then mate.

Good luck.  

Looking really nice so far.  

any updates chris, you done very well comparing the first and last pics of this thread
