Ratty Mk1 Golf

(apologies if the pics aren't great quality)
So this has happened over the weekend...

I finally finished cutting my roof racks down and added wooden slats


And then a good friend of mine from Team floG Motorsport helped replace my passenger driveshaft which had the blown CV joint on it. As well as replacing that, we changed my bonnet, now baby blue and not flat grey, added the eyelid piece, changed a cracked headlight, replaced exhaust rubbers, wound the front coils down to match the rears and I started addding woodgrain vinyl accents in the dash


Stay tuned!

cant wait to see new wheels

Me either mate! A lot of people are telling me I should put white walls/flappers on my steelies but I'm more keen on my meshies haha

Get a lip please more easy lows.

Also have you thought about widening your steelies.

A lip is currently being negotiated, as a group buy is being organised with a few friends

As for the widened steelies, I'd love to do it but it seems to be a costly thing to do here in Adelaide, although I can't say I've really been hunting for somewhere to do it

Cheers man!

Got my low on today





Rear rake because I cut the rear springs too short and my front coilovers are wound down as low as they go :/ ahh well. I also tried to take my rear bar off and snapped where it bolts to the steel bit so it's steel bumpers for now

Sub'd for progress. Great to see a build like this.

Get some 13" wheels and run 175/50 tires and you will be ON the ground! Or 195/45 on 14s is about the same thing.

Thanks man

Yeah I need smaller profile tyres, will be getting something small for my meshies cause my 165/75s are killing me lmao

[RatJack]

Oh and I took off my eyelid and all the chrome surrounds from the grill, looks 10x better. Unfortunately the headlight I replaced has gone a milky white and not clear so I might swap it back for now...only replaced it cause the old lens had cracks in it

[RatJack]

Some crappy phone pics before a S|W cruise tomorrow

Get a big dirty exhaust and blow black smoke everywhere.

Hahah I'd love to but I'm already going to be forcibly raped by the long dick of the law if I get pulled over because Australian police are bastards. My exhaust isn't welded to the flex joint where it comes from the manifold (not on purpose) so it does blow some black smoke

[RatJack]

Went on a bit of a cruise today with some Evos and WRXs Myself, Jeff in the Sera and our friend Jesse in the yellow bug stood out like dogs balls but Jesse won best presented 10 minutes after showing up haha





And a couple of Jesse's mint as fuck Bug
