volkenstein the cabby of many peices

Don't think it will make much difference but might even appeal to others.
Karmann is the factory in Osnabruck where the cabby was made. Infact all the Cabbies were made there for VW. They didn't want to interupt the Wolfsberg line as they were busy churning out the tin tops.
So Model wise and bumper wise. There is no such thing as a "Clipper Kit" bit of a misnomer really. Post 88 Cabs had the "facelift" treatment to modernise the cabbies look. So the facelift kits were fitted to both the Clipper (which was considered the base model) and the GTI Cabriolet. Got to say I'm liking the idea of a small bumper cabs.

cool that's knowledge right there
I knew the earlies didn't have kits  but didn't know the history
I just after the original small bumper it should have on
just been offered 150 for my bumper kit from a bloke in northern Ireland
seems about right

Good thing with mk1 golfs, someone always wants what you don't

wanner buy some bits

having spent a week on volk inbetween being daddy day care its now in primer
decided to just high build the total shell as ive been busy doing minor repairs to most panels small dents and scratches so I just went over the whole lot after repairs were done
2k high build its now almost ready for the top coat Schwarz gloss

replaced the lower rear panel and lower arch corners
went nicely
stone chiped the lower panel
spent some time on the rear arches smoothing them

Sounds like you're making quite a bit of progress! Always great to hear!   Definitely going to be needing some pics soon (visual learner, what can I say…)!

some primer pics

best £50 ive spent in  years
it had a late cabby clipper grill that looked awful
its a 1984 gti so I opted for this from heritage

just deciding on which front lower spoiler to put on it ??
wheels were a ebay cheap find with some weird 155/55 stretch
not sure on them yet as they need spacing out at rear and it needs to go lower ie coilovers to close up arch gap but will then be so low as the wheels are only 14" sump scraper isn't a good thing
not cool or clever

the casternets wheels maybe for sale if anyones interested

and the grill

May be interested, what you looking for both the grill and the wheels?

The grills still forsale I have the genuine spotlights (Hella )and the grill badge which is black
Grill with badge £25
the spots £15 each really good condition
as for the wheels ive turned them into this now

the wheels have had a make over!!

not to everyone taste but I like them not sure about the tyres yet

Update of the repaint

Cracking job on the wheels  
Don't need spots or badge, I've got a clipper, that had a piece of the grill snapped off. Fortunately, it's exactly where a GTI badge goes, so that is what it has stuck on the grill covering the hole. It looks fine, but it isn't a GTI!

Where about a are you based?
