Ratty Mk1 Golf

love this! been undecided about doing anything to my car cause she's just so... slow but I think I'm gonna start looking for some tires and coilovers this week. keep it up man

Haha thanks man diesel for life who cares if we're slow we get incredible fuel economy I get like 5-6L/100km (~40-47mpg) when I'm not on the highway as the diesel shorter ratio 4 speed kills me at highway speed haha and living in the country I'm constantly doing 100km (60mph) everywhere

I used to get 45 but I had head gasket issues so it went down to 38-42 while I was still driving it but hey, slow and low baby! and I don't need a fancy exhaust to make her loud either

[RatJack]

Haha me either, I just have broken welds

even with the diesel engine, this dakota I use for hauling stuff around is louder with her "custom" exhaust http://instagram.com/p/ZYwmolCgv5/ hahaha

I love that fact that you didn't try to take something nice and make it "ratty" looking. You just found a rough old car, made it drivable, and now you enjoy it.

Pat on the back for you.

A friend has shown me some cheap E30 BBS basketweaves for sale, might go and suss them....

This is what they look like (4WD spec tyre lol)


And I could make them look like this, but with the BMW sticker.


I really like the black mesh with the polished lip look and I think it will look tits on the Golf, and I really like the OEM+ look of stock wheels on other cars.....hmmm

Sweet MK1 dude, it has a lot of potential and I hope you do it justice.
