Mk 1 Diesel Project

[Jarred]

Good job! The car is looking nice and fresh. What white is it anyway?

straight white. Turned out better than I thought it would actually.

edit; in terms of colour.

[Jarred]

Tadaaaaaah!

Reasonably productive weekend. Could have done it quicker, but took my time and cleaned everything, made a few things black etc.

All thats left to do: [in a manner of speaking]
outer window scrapers.
front windscreen
front passenger seat
misc interior bits and bobs.

pics because they're awesome.

yes, you may photoshoppe the first one

[Tim]

lookin good so far! It certainly is very white!

[WABIT]

looks awesome but you could of atleast straightened the front apron out LOL, and are you leaving it without the side trims?

dom

[Jarred]

front apron will be cover up in the end. I will end up getting something going on with the side trims. havn't decided exactly what. but that's not entierly crucial atm.

[Satanstoenail]

Looks great dude.

[greasykitchen]

Looks good. It's almost my car's twin (too many doors) right down to the sticker on the back window (no, not the P plate, the other one ). And it's a couple of shades whiter too. Now that's real white. Is the tail gate from your old golf?

[Water Boy]

Wahoo good boy Jarred you were a busy little boy over the weekend!

[16v_kid]

pahw....looks good mate..

but should dump it abit.

cheers

[Jarred]

hopefully once it's "done" it'll be dumped, but by more than 'abit'

Stephen; tailgate is actually from stu's old mk 1. I wanted to use mine but it was bent from the crash. Glass was still good though, which I'm glad about cause it's got the sticker on it, from before it was cool too
you wouldn't believe all the differences between early and late model cars, till you either get them side by side, or build one of each, all these sublte little features.

Just have to pop in the windscreen, change the DS seat belt, put new WB and outer CV's in, and it should be ready for RWC. & reg. By this friday?? I doubt it, but it's good to have a goal.

Anyone know any places to get bumpers straightened properly? Mine are bent..for obvious reasons

[GoLfMan]

[roccodingo]

[WABIT]

There is a place that did my chromies before I owned them, their sticker is still on the back.... I'll check it out

[greasykitchen]

If they need to be rechromed it could be quite expensive as it's a 3 step process to get a good result. I guess it depends on how bent yours are.

I've got a badly bent but otherwise good rear chrome bumper that needs fixing but the cost put me off.
