as the wiring on old golfs is crap thought id start a fresh and also hide all brake piping

arches werent all that great and wanted to extend them a little to get the new wheels under, so got cutting

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n3/k33ts/DSC00111Medium-2.jpg

spent ages trying to find a small light rear panel at resonable money but nothing came up, so thought id do my own version

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n3/k33ts/DSC00014.jpg

while I was at I thought I might aswell add a bit of contraversy in to it!!

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n3/k33ts/DSC00024Medium-1.jpg

inbetween all that I was sorting the engine painting polishing etc

gearbox painted

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n3/k33ts/mk1%20gti/DSC00298-1.jpg

had aproblem with corrosion on the box and the paint started lifting so had it blasted and just cleared over the finish

lump back in bay
http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n3/k33ts/mk1%20gti/DSC00489Medium.jpg

also all chassis components were blasted and either powder coated or chromed, I had to narrow the rear beam by nearly 90mm in total to allow the wheels to get the correct look I was after

http://i108.photobucket.com/albums/n3/k33ts/mk1%20gti/DSC00480Medium.jpg

lights all wired new bumpers grill all chassis components renewed and p/coated

WOW is right, damn impressive mate.. love the swallow. the fact that you made your own takes away every right anybody could ever bitch about demolishing the original bla bla bla.. love everything about it, although the wheels wouldn't have been my choice.

immaculate car.. Really fancy your way of working; just doing your own thing by creating a swallow yourself. The engine really deserves a compliment; very clean/neat engine bay.

I absolute love this car... It was a long time ago that someone built a mk1 that makes my heart go faster...

Swallow part, hate it... sorry... doesn't look like original and in my opinion, while you were at it, you should have done better! no hard feelings...

Wow... what a ride!

thanks for the compliments mate, dont know how you can say you hate it, just because it dont look exactly the same as an original i think it looks pretty funky, i could never get it exactly right from a big light panel.

WOW is right, damn impressive mate.. love the swallow. the fact that you made your own takes away every right anybody could ever bitch about demolishing the original bla bla bla.. love everything about it, although the wheels wouldn't have been my choice.

that sort of answers the above
cheers mate

WOW! amazing!

Awesome MK1 you build there.

thanks i did draw up a rough schematic when i did it but if i showed you one you probably wouldnt be any better off as it would only make sense to me as i only did the drawing to work out how mant wires to run and where.



many thanks for rest of your kind words

Your car look damn fine Maman.

Where is everything, Battery, Wirering, How did you hide everything so well.

I would like to neaten up my engine bay as well.

You pulled of your car in an amazing way. I love it.

Since you shortned the rear beam around 90mm, did you modify the inside arch?
do you have any other picture from the process of the beam?


looks good in the PVW ;)
