static mk1 golf!

[mrmcleod113]

so this in my 1983 mk1 golf 50,000 miles on the clock. swapped for my bora. some people might think it was a stupid idea but i dont care







thats how i got her and she stayed like that for all of about 2 weeks then


this is how she looked right after i lowered her. looks nice but the balloon tyres had to go!!
so i pick up these bad boys!

test fit.

but before i had a chance to put them on the car i got bored of them so i sold them.
front tires were too big and almost illegal so i got some low pros




got a new splitter for the front after ripping the first 1 off when i hit a twig.


my mates 323 loon



got a new steering wheel as well

then after the msw alloys went i went last night to pick up these.



the car is in the garage at the moment so cant put them on the car yet but will as soon as its back
oh and these arrived in the post today


and this is what i copilot daily (not alloed to drive it yet im not old enough :/)

[Nick475]

nice dude. in for pictures with new wheels

[M.Doban]

This car is CLEAN. I love mk1 rabbits and foxes. However, I would suggest putting the factory wheel back on until you can get something legit and period correct. I feel like it really throws the interior off.

Looking forward to the new wheels though!

[Stupid Kid]

Man why did you sell those wheels they would have killed it

I **** agreeing with Micah, but he is right. Just my opinion though. He's all about the classics

[mrmcleod113]

yeah the old wheels were nice but not really my thing :/

update....

as the mighty mk1 needs a new engine i thought i should put the star mags on now so i can at least see her in daylight with her new shoes so i got them on.


then i charged the battery and took her up the road to take a few last shots before she gets tucked up in the garage.




in the amount of time it took me to drive around town and up into the car park (about 500m) she got megga hot so i dont think she is very well.
doors off!

in we go.

and thats where she will stay until i get her fixed.
new daily will be arriving tomorrow. i will get some pics up then

oh and she is finaly low enough that she scraped getting off my drive. even my polo wasn't that low

[Hitman Cody2130]

Car looks dope! Cant wait to see it done and back on the road

[mrmcleod113]

cheers bro, im hoping it wont be too long!!

[Steve.]

Really, really nice Rabbit. Is that Pargas blue? I wish it was available in the states.

[Evilist]

meaaaan 323 dude

[mrmcleod113]

Really, really nice Rabbit. Is that Pargas blue? I wish it was available in the states.

it sure is bud, im sure a body repair shop could mix it for you if you got a sample.

yeah the 323 is my mate, he is looking for some more modified ones for inspiration if you know of any.

[mrmcleod113]

picked up the engine gear box, mounts, drive shafts, gear linkage, gear stick, wiring loom etc everything i need to do the swap.



really looking forward to getting stuck into this. its the first time i have ever done anything like this and i cant
wait to start it

[Belvader]

looks like an awesome start, I can't wait to see more on this

[Tubaman]

Wow a mk1 with 50k? Awesome. Anyway good luck with the swap!

[mrmcleod113]

yeah i was pretty luck to find one with such low miles and even more so to fine a replacment engine with only 45k on the clock

anyway work started on the mk1 today!!

just before i started

bit low


looking pretty empty, just the mounts and drive shafts. but i dont have the right tools so will be out tomorrow
