project Adahlia - mk1 driver restoration

cheers totr, a lad opposite us down at the unit has a valver rado, he wants 450 for just the engine, 500 for the car including engine.

if only it was a G60  :roll:

it's a right dubshack down there; 4 mk1s, a mk2, a mk3 polo and a corrado!

filth.

Sounds like my kinda place

Keep your mits off this one if you see it :wink:

8O what do you store under that thing?!

i think i can see a small family sat inside your arches

There's this one for sale near me, bit nice to chop up!  If you're interested i'll pass the details……

cheers glen, looks lovely, but as you said, would be a shame to chop it up.

ideally after one that has been crash damaged so i don't feel guilty breaking it, they pop up every now and then on ebay so i'll keep an eye out :y:

dunno what you were on about…. i was just saying you with some mk1s and a spanner and youre car could be done before next summer

i thought you were saying obscene things about me and a load of dubs when it's dark.

if only there was anything i need, maybe the corrado seats, that's about it

All in good time john all in good time :wink:  you cant rush perfection  its gonna have a suspension kit on it soon

 :roll:  just deciding what route to go down, expensive coilovers, Koni or H&R that i will NEVER re adjust once its set up …or just Some Eibach springs, or a Koni SSK kit?

for now its back on its BBS RZ wheels anyway as it is Totally standard, which is a rare thing on a 17 year old car

i'd always go for coilovers rather than springs. that way you can get it the exact height you want, if you buy a -60mm kit and it's too low you're not going to be happy etc.

i'd just whack some FK Highsports on or the stainless version (can't remember what they're called)

That 16V Corrado is spot on for the money - if you do decide to go for 16V instead of G60, of course.....

it really is a lovely car, spot on bodywork. even the rear spoiler still works!

if my mate pulls out of renting the unit i might buy the car and tidy a few bits up and try to sell it on.

bound to make a profit. and if no interest, it could be broken.

i'll be getting another mk1 in there for parts soon hopefully. it's had some front impact damage. rest of the car is sound though.

then when that's all gone i'll be looking to get a G60 rado in there with some accident damage. take what i need then sell the rest on.

Wish I had a garage like yours John boy. I've just had to wrap it up for the day as its started snowing

don't be deceived chris, it would be snowing inside too.

damn roof   !

how're you getting on?

Ha I would make shift the roof, I wud be in there 24 hour if I had a garage

I've got the head back on mine, and torqued up. Exhausts off as am painting it black, need to paint rocker cover and grill, need to clean carb out and put that back on. Then be ready for starting. Got a door and a wing. Need to start on them asap. But the weather is a bitch!

Was you at elsecar yesterday?

i have tried sorting the roof, got some heavy duty sheet and put it over my side of the garage (only side i could reach )  and put tyres on it. still manages to drip through though  

sounds like you should be all set soon

i would be in there 24/7 but there is absolutely nothing for me to be getting on with til i have some money!

didn't make it to elsecar, don't have owt to drive

was it a good do?

Wasnt bad, a lot smaller that I thought. Loads a gay new golfs like mk3/4/5. Once ya walked round for 15 mins an saw the cars it was pretty boring

haha, some of the lads from huddersfield vag were going so i'll have a look on the site to see if there are any pics

I've got a pic of your car in my documents with a young lad in a green and white jacket with long hair and a wooly hat stood next to it

Saw him there so though you mite be there but dunno wot ya look like haha
