New project car: MK1 Golf GTi 1983

this is Illy my newest purchase into the household:

at some point in the not so distant future she should be a 2l 16v on bike carbs, sporting a freshly refurbed engine bay

thoughts?

Nice looking motor there...whats the mileage on it at the moment..??

there one of these just down the road from me in orange needs referbing etc id love to buy it and do it but id never find the time...

Plans sound good with the 2l.

looking solid tidy and pretty damn original too - jealous bet that was a few bob

i'd be in 2 minds modding it, part of me thinks it looks too clean but the other half of me is dribbling at 16v with carbs in a clean bay would look spot on

ahh what the hell, can always put it back original later thanks to VAG's Multi fit parts what carbs ya using

paid next to nothing for what i got i think

cost me 950 quid, and it came with brand new alley cats with new tyres, new coilovers, new JVC DVD player, new front and back strut braces, an extra set of pirelli P-Slots, with new tyres, new OMP steering wheel...

the engine getting pulled out, its pretty tatty under the bonnet so itll get a full strip down and bay spray and were going for the minimal look in there

and it will be on ZX9r carbs

looks like ya boots are horribly dog muddy but they don't smell been looking at a few mk2's that are normal looking at same/more money than that so the words 'lucky fecker' come to mind

90% done then and just the fun parts left to do

mmmmmm!! lucky bugger,looks lush!! jealous moi,never!! bargain n all by sound of it!

although i shouldn't be greedy seeing as i have a mk2 in bits on the drive getting all the attention of F2Stu and i await the arrival of another ickle project,thanks to my dearly beloved,just need to get him to hand over his Leon as well and i'll have 2 vw's n 2 seats,nice round amount i reckon....
