![]() Here's how she finished up after 10 years on and off working on my mk1.
![]() and this is how it got there. Here's how is started in 1998 ![]() which progressed into this... ![]() ![]() ![]() and finally in 2002 it looked like this. ![]() The Golf + cover in July 2002. Love the wheels dont you ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The car did 3 shows before it was back i the garage and on with the rebuild. I stripped the whole thing and started again. That stereo took 6 months to install and 2 hours to rip out. ![]() The car took up home at Paul Websters for quite a while whilst the work got underway Engine out ![]() Smoothing the bay ![]() it was all or nothing now, I'd turned my finished mk1 into a rolling shell. pants. ![]() |

![]() The obligatory shiney bits
![]() and the new "injection" system... 45 webers... ![]() Polishing began on the head and inlet manifold ![]() ...and the f**king gearbox. ![]() ![]() ![]() Also got a pedal box from Volks-speed ![]() then the car was sent off to the Selectadrive in Hull to start the smooting. First the rear interior arches, and then the engine bay ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() colour to test the overall shape ![]() chassis legs notches to allow for drive shafts ![]() My uncle got the block back together, and I started adding the shiney bits. ![]() ![]() New exhaust from G Werks ![]() Polished and put in place... ![]() |

![]() Air ride from BSS Air Ride in Holland.... good kit, but requires some strut welding.
![]() ![]() There definately wasn't enough room for all of the kit in the original spare wheel well with the original tank. ![]() That was Plan A out of the window. Plan B was to weld in a second hand well from another car, but they are HARD to find. Plan C was to buy a replacement panel and weld it in, but no one makes one. So Plan D was to have one made and have an alloy tank made that fitted into the well. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() got some bling back from the chromers. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() This is how the interior looked on friday before it went off to MJ's. ![]() ![]() |

![]() I'd gone through loads of different colour schemes and designs before finally going for a hot-rod sort of theme. The most important thing was to have unique door cards because a lot of "done" mk1's have similar variations along the same theme.
![]() and the baby seat ![]() ![]() the dials were tricky to get right and this is version 10 or something. I dont have a photo of the needles, but they are laser cut from stainless steel and have VW logos on the base. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() steering wheel and rear view mirror both relatively cheap buys from ebay.com ![]() ![]() you'd think the car was nearly done, but in reality it still had to go back to the sprayers for some much needed work. Because I was stubborn I decided to leave the engine in and wrap it ![]() ![]() ![]() so off to the sprayers... ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Liking the matt brown effect. Ready for final paint and a polish. ![]() ![]() ![]() Back at the lockup and the rebuild begins. Repolished the Porsche winter wheels as well. ![]() ![]() Engine back in and ready to run. I had no idea what was coming round the corner. I couldn't get any oil pressure at all. 2 engine rebuilds later and it turned out to be a stupid small valve in the oil filter bracket which has got blocked up. anyway, I'm trying to blank out that fortnight of my life... on with the pics. ![]() At the mot... cheers Carl ![]() ![]() ![]() After almost 10 years of work, getting on the cover of the Golf + (July 2008) is a real finishing post. ![]() ![]() a couple of weeks later and a good offer came up on the porsche wheels, so they had to go... and back on came the Steffan RS's. I'm really please with the look. ![]() ![]() ![]() Thanks for looking though my photos.... if you want to read more about this build, you can look through the entire 58 page thread here... http://www.demonvwforum.co.uk/forum....php?f=4&t=6105 Paul. |

![]() the steffan are an imitation split rim, so the bolts they come with a plastic push-in things. I removed them, threaded the holes and used grub screws instead. I need to put them in the wheel in that photo
