Hi Lhasa,
Yes the height is right biggest problem with this height is my exhaust at the back !!!
He let me know when am in the neighbourhood with deadly speed bumbs the love them in Holland  Here you can see what i mean with the exhaust as one of the lowest points of my car.

I assume you could re-position the rear box, less euro style and more OEM style  

 

Great looking car, a little envious. Well done ..quality. I am new to the club myself and they all seem a great bunch.

I'm new to my friend

Ah OK, Yes, looks like the the exhaust bracket is as designed for that euro look Yup, definitely sweet though!

 

Hi

You have done an incredible job. Your car looks great. I too have an 1989 VW Golf GTI MK1 cabriolet and looking to bring herback to life!

Thanks   after 3 weeks we took here out for a spin !!! Get stuck in the dirt but we made some pictures first before we call for help  

Great pictures as always Peter!

This Sunday was a great day to own a MK1 the weather was sweet like summer……..

I updated my RM's to 16Inch with adobe……

Hey Peter,

As I said before, your car looks fantastic. I own an 1989 VW Golf GTI Cabriolet, but needs some restoration.
The car drives, taxed etc, but I want to bring that classic car back to it's glory!. However, I want to keep as original as possible

• New front and rear brakes, drums, cables, springs, shoes etc
• New clutch and clutch release bearing
• Stainless steel from manifold to tailpipe
• Refurbish original BBS alloys- Just put in brand new set of falken tyres  last week.
• Full engine tuning and perhaps replacing some old parts with new ones- not running smoothly
• Engine and transmission should be the  main focus
• Lower the front suspension to keep levelled with rears- Just needs adjusting
• Hand brake light do not come on
• Revs counter jumps up and down when driving
• When the doors are open the interior light do not come on
• Driver's door locking doesn't seem to work very well
• Full coach respray
• New windscreen wipers (sandblast original windscreen arms)
• Trim front, rear seatsand door cards to leather

If you know anybody who is interest to take on this project please let me know. The funds is available 

So here are some of my latest shots the season is almost closed.

Very nice mate    

Thanx Andy   last week i took some extra rims 16Inch Porsche Boxster. Don't have them yet need to be painted on the inside but adobe give me a change to fit them  

I'm not a fan of Porsche logos on a Golf, but the wheels don't look too bad at all

your car looks awesome, love the BBS and not a big fan of the porsche wheels tho but its whatever floats your boat. i have just been out to amstadam i hope you never take this there as i dont understand how you would get over any of the bumps haha.

The speed bumps are terrible here damage have to be checked in the winter period   but the weather here is still good over here.
No need to place here in the garage …….

Very Nice!!!
