Thanks guys, I hope to have it finished early the new year. I am keeping the 16V engine but not sure about keeping the colour?. I am going for a full re-spray and have the doors bonnet boot lid primed, so the colour is optional. the gold is growing on me though.

havent had time to do much on golf lately. i'm aiming to get engine in and running by christmas. still have to get mount moved and fuel lines and loom.
hows the jetta? how you getting on with parts for mk2?

@newtown mk1 hows your mk1 golf coming on?

 

alrite chap get the wheels on the bora yet and best of luck with this golf its goin to be some sleeper when its finished

 

waiting to get tyres on them. have week off in two weeks time so get them changed then.

cant wait to get golf together! might have it for the meet in athlone

depends on how much work i get done on it during the week off.

 

in the middle of the week off and have got gti driveshafts in. the two front two doors are complete and one of the back doors is finished. have just started to rebuild the bootlid and this is causing me some hastle as i didnt strip it my self and the bits for it are everywhere. hope to have bootlid back together by the end of week along with the last door and last bit of roof lining stuck on.
the engine is slow to come. having trouble with the wiring and getting my hands on the fuel lines. hopefully the mount will be welded in tomorrow or the next day,
will keep you posted

 

Good bit of progress there colton. Any luck with fuel lines? I have to get my hands on some too. Would be deadly if ya had it for the athlone meet but These cold nights dont help when your out in a garage!

no luck with fuel lines. johnny99 has them if you can get hold of him. i cant get my fuel lines out of him. there is a place in waterford that 98mk1 knows of but there more expensive but you might get them quicker from there.
a couple of fleeces and you'll be fine!!
