Thanks dockies,im sure i know you:-)now that u own a mk1 gti in blue.very very kind words,best in SA! wow thats the best compliment ever.although we have many im sure that are better,i'l take the kind words.Im doing it for my country ha ha ..

Any updates???

What I do like: keeping it as original as possible. What I don't like: changing it into something it never was. I like the first wheels! Last wheels not so much: never cared much for gold anyway. Which game reserve is that gate of in your first page? Were you planning on racing a cheetah? :tongue: Or is it just the gate of your company...

wow, those schmidt rims, coooooool

We both have the same taste. :thumbup:

hi guys,no updates as of yet,to be honest the pockets are a bit empty,hopefully she should be done soon...thats a great quote and i will agree with it.I think i've kept to those words regarding the GT.

yummy!

saw your car in the Golf+ this month

I have just 1 question... where did you find a car lyk dat with those kms and how much did it set you back as im searching high and low 4 1. know of ne1 that wants 2 sell?

Dude, stop the 123 talk and please try to type something like traditional English. We aren't at the partyflockforum..

hey guys,yes tjaap it was in the readers ride section,sorry i have not been on the forum for a while,however the motor is almost done.what i can say is that it is a 2.0 16 valve abf with throttle bodies and a few other bits and bobs.momo to answer you as to how lets just say it was worth the money and to find one like it will take alot of time and effort.i assure you that the end result will be a fairly good motor.i would have loved to put an 8 valve however im a little power hungry and love to drive than show.will definately update on the motor build with some pics.

Where are the pictures??? :D

oooow you lucky BASTERD!
what spec on thoose schmidt ? :)

check out my sig u might like it

Hi Dado

thank you for the kind words,wow your mk2 is amazing,one of the best ive ever seen it just screams perfect! the schmidts are 8J Front 9J rear 195/45/14 225/40/14 rear,not as wide as yours but almost.the will soon be accompanied by a set of BBS RS's in 16 inch form,hope to show you them,will post sum pics.as for the motor it will definately be done by jan 2010,ive gone 8 valve instead of 16valve,never thought that a cam cover would make me change my mind however it has.its the schrick cam cover as the one seen on marco haegers famous car,an extremely rare find in this part of the world.hopefully it will all come together as im getting tired of this project.

sounds cool bud! :)

thank you for kind workds aswell
i really love white mk1

Ok,some updates for the car,the wheels are red the pic makes them look pink,the size is 16 inch bbs rs.8j front 9j rear although im going to have to do some real work to get them how i wud like them.the cam cover has been done in red and the face has been cut to bring the the lines and lettering out.i will post the throttles by next week...45 mm ITB's to be exact...

i LOVE the Schrik cover.. did you get it from europe or were they sold in SA?

edit: enjoying the football at the mo?

yes the football has been great,your team is doing well...yes the cam cover is from a south african source,glad you like it.

Nice!!

I was in Joburg last weekend, didn't see you :)

Thanks,its just a teaser,wont post further until all is complete,dont want to give it all away.hope you enjoyed your stay and had a chance to see the veedub culture,when you down next time give me a call.

Well I spotted a lot of unusual VW stuff, unusual for me at last. Finally saw some Citigolfs in the flesh! Also I was amazed by the number of T3 Transporters running around, most of them in lots of luxury trim and sporting V6 badges?!

yes we have a huge love for transporters of any brand vw,toyota etc..i hope the perception that we a 3rd world country has changed and that we are not as poor as people may think,oh and we dont have lions running around has changed.:-) we even have the vw trucks,as u may have seen in some of my pics,unfortunately we dont get many two door variants in most of the model line up and im almost certain its done deliberately so as to not compete with the audi brand,its sneaky pricing and marketing if you ask me.hope you enjoyed your time here and took home a vuvuzela!

Very nice!

damn .. very nice Mk1 !:thumbup:

Well there you have it, 90% complete and pretty much done and dusted:-)

It's looking very nice Azza!
