swedish golf gti in full strip down and re-build

so you just looked for a job while you were out there?

good on ya

looking forward to seeing more progress on the project

The strip down has started and alot of work to go, i am not doing this half hearted …. this is going to be fully restored..

Makes it easier when youve got access to the facilities that you have mate doesnt it   :mrgreen:

Good luck with the restore…will be keeping an eye for progress

yeh alot easy its sat in that garage 24 hours a day does'nt see the weather out here etc, so good to work on and have everything here..

looking good already !!!

up date pictures, stripped the front end stripped off and decided while i was in there i am going to replace the front wings and replace the back arches aswell., nothing is getting missed on this car

Parts bought this week

Coilover suspension

front pannel new

2x front wings

2x repair arches


Then after the paint and then the engine conversion (Audi s3) this is going to be a sweet out come and i dont know care how much this cost its going to right.




Start work on the arches next get them sanded down and prepaired for undercoat paint before the wings go on.

this is the aim!!

Anyone got a link for pannels need some asap.. thats what holding me up now

get in touch with crazyquiff for panels

i have tried and i think the website is down and sent him a e-mail about 1 month ago and now reply..

If that beast is your aim i recon you will need to go lower than 40mm, The car looks sweet, I have a cousin that lives in Sweden I love that place well funky!
That colour looks like the porsche grey well smart!! any plans for nterior??

no plans for interior at the moment, i have a set of coilovers to go on but not fitting them yet while paint is getting done!!
