Spot on that mate, love it.  8)

mark

Loving the wheels and car, coming along nicely.

Going for the big push over the next couple of weeks hopefully. Ive managed to get a shallow sump that i thought id never get!
We only have little jobs to finish off now but as we all know there the ones that take the time…..
Wish me luck  8)

.Good Luck  

Real nice s1. Looking forward to seeing this finished. Good luck with the big push!  :mrgreen:

Why do these things always take so much longer than you thought? I remember when i first bought it, i knew exactly what i was going to do and what i had to get and yet here i am nearly 12 months on! :dontknow:

But…..Its running :mrgreen:  Fired upfirst time too! all credit to the Qpeng ecu!
Hopefully be mot'd in the next couple of weeks, ill get some pics up when i can. :twisted:

Clean 4dr!  I can't wait to see this done.

Not the most glamorous location in the world but…





I took it for its mot today and after 10 months work i get turned away for my number plates!  

Oh well, on the plus side it is unbelievably fast, wheelspin from 50mph in 5th when you press the loud pedal.  :twisted:  cant wait to get it on the road.

Looking smart  8)

Very nice!

Looks fantastic, nice and simple. Shame about the plates

Pretty car!  Done a good job there, nice to see another GLS too.

:twisted:



Still some tidying to do but its getting there

All mot'd and taxed now  8)  Here we go!

Loving this mate !!!Have you got a timeline of when you want it done or is it just taking your time and making sure you cover everything?  Great stuff bud  :wink:

Thanks! As the mrs said today "it will probably never be finished" as theres always something i want to do, as it is its back on the road and its going to take some getting used to to say the least! Ive got a polished scuttle cover to fit, polished rad cover then tidy up a bit of paintwork in the engine bay and for now thats it! Its taken 10 months to get this far so its time for some driving first

Areet mate, i've got to hand it to ya, good work, all in 10 months too! Total sleeper, looks amazing in that last photo with the door open.  I'll build a fast one someday! I've got a S1 auto too, mines staying standard tho! Lol!

How did you find the conversion? Easy/hard? Scale of 1-10?

I had help when required from a top VW man and my other cars a TVR so im pretty handy with a spanner! so all in all id say about 6 The further along you get the more you learn and the easier things become.
If your not that confident and on your own it could be very difficult, the best start is the right list of components to get you on your way but youll be surprised how quickly the list grows!

But now its done  :mrgreen:  :twisted:

Got the rack fitted now, also fitted a polished radiator cover and polished up my scuttle cover.  :mrgreen:



Its off the road this week as we are swapping the cable change clutch to a hydraulic one now its all up and running, my leg cant take any more!
