Ratty Mk1 Golf

Bought these shitty pieces of shit purely because they had 99% tyres for $100, only to find the fronts rub on my coilovers [EDIT turns out one wheel scrubbed on my brakes, since fixed] they look like a light alloy colour (which I thought they were until I saw them) but they've been painted white


so looks like I'll be getting the tyres put on my steelies for now

Those E30 basketweaves were sold

On a lighter note, I've forgotten to upload a completed photo of my woodgrained dash

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

Thanks man

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

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.

Thanks man I do enjoy it, I drive this damn thing everywhere haha

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

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
