Small update on this, wired in the ISV, its now running better, just need to tax it and it should be ready for summer

Good news Allan, get out there and enjoy her.  

Not much happening with this, got new suspension to fit, also going to chang it to a GTI tank and fuel pump. Had the golf on the trailer a couple of weeks ago and a guy followed me home and said he had a golf gti in his garden and if i wanted anything just to go see him, so i did and i got this





Now i have some spares that I need, also I have a spare shell for repair sections, tho it is very rusty, but has the odd part I can use like the inner wing

Started work on the mk1 tonight, going to strip it down, got some welding to do and underseal, should have it done for the spring, also fitting new shocks and springs

Nice find with the spare mk1  

Is it cold working in your garage?

Can be cold in winter, but its dry and better than working out side

That is true  

I've noticed even working inside just recently, the temperature has plummeted!! Will just have to work harder to keep warm  

Slowly getting some work done, just working on it after work



Few more days and I should have the rear end on the roll over jig

Most parts removed from the shell, on its side now



Should get some work done over the next couple of weeks  

Looking good mate, I can remember getting my shell on the jig for the first time. You'll be able to crack on now

Got some cutting done on this, have to remove an old repair I done 9 years ago so its slow work but started now



Hope to get a weekend on it in a few weeks

Got a bit of work done this weekend, always feels good welding in new metal

Tidy work, yes it is a good feeling when you get new metal in  

Looking good mate!!

welding new bits, or any bits, on these cars is hard, but looks like your doing a grand job
