Beautiful mk1 Hugh. That spare wheel has come up a treat - shame its going to be hidden in the boot.  Do you have the original tool kit to go with it ?

Thanks Dave - truth be known I have the sportlines tool kit in the boot of the tintop.  :o   :o

I will be on the look out at the autojumblers in Uttoxeter.  :lol:

Cheers Hugh.

JB - Good question - The sportline is booked on the boat since mid January, however boot capacity is limited as you know.

I am heading for a 160 mile spin out today in the tintop to give it a good run… so watch this space - could be a last minute decision.  ;)

Cheers Hugh.

You stealth builder! looks lovely mate

what a dilemma though, sportline for the cabby down enjoyment and sportline photo at AGM, or tintop as you can fit more stock in ….

So a few weekends have now passed since we did the Ring of Kerry weekend - I'd love to be doing it again this weekend…

It was a blast all 480 mile of it. We had some great mk1 folk present and thanks to all who came.  :thumbs:

Couple of pics of the GTI from the weekend.











I have changed the blowing manifold to a 4 branch and fitted a longlife stainless exhaust system - has a nice purr now!

More pics of it next week.  :)


Cheers Hugh.

Being doing a few bits when I get a spare minute…

My old sportline radio a pioneer is now in the tintop. Sounds pretty good.



Taxed for 12 months - all of €56 for vintage road tax (anything over 30 years)



Manifold wrapped and matched to a longlife stainless exhaust system….. now in the car  :thumbs:





Glad the blow from the engine is now gone and the purr and sound is just right!

Cheers Hugh.

That manifold looks great. It's a shame that it needs to be wrapped.  :thumbs:

So new long-life stainless exhaust fitted and matched to the manifold.

Sounds is pretty good. Not too boy racerish but enough of a growl when its needed.

Some pics taken by the fitters  - SP Heat Tranfer.



Tight fit and plate/heat shield made to separate the steering rack boot.







I have bought a new fuel tank and filler neck so will change both and might shultz and seal the underbody again. Think it needs it.  :thumbs:

Cheers Hugh.

Thanks Beeno it looks good from the rear too.

I went for a standard exhaust tail pipe - just a polished look.

I don't have a pic of the plate itself as the garage put it on. But the steering rack boot is wrapped in heat protective foil. The plate is U bolted onto the downpipe and it too is wrapped in heat foil.

Both are very close but no major issues so far. I carried around the fire extinguisher with me for a few weeks lol  :lol:

Cheers Hugh.
