my 1.1 golf

[dubbed_up_daz]

not even a c as poverty a spec as you can get I came accross it whilst looking for a mk2 1.3 for my at the time teenage sister for a first car. This lhasa green mk1(strange in itself as the colour was never available for the model came already fitted with a 1.3 and a 5 speed conversion and with intergalactic 198,000 miles. Appearing solid I bartered the guy down as there was a couple issues with brakes and tyres and tags etc and we agreed a deal. Filling out the forms for transfer and checking the paperwork out the car had remarkably only done up to 48,000miles when the guy fitted the 1.3 and wishing a rev counter swapped out the dials for the rev equipped non-mfa 1.3 dials...immediately adding 150,000 miles but got me a good mk1 for my sister










but she decided she didnt like it

so I kept it

stole the suspension and wheels of my jetta coupe(started an unfortunate trend here )minus 50 springs and renault turbine wheels fitted with 165/50x15s

[dubbed_up_daz]

wasnt low enough though so using some of the funds from selling my passat estate I bought some fk highsport silverlines(also fitted some tinted indicators,gave the front plate a kick and gave it a clean




bought some OZ executives,2 piece split rims after an exhaustive search,loved these wheels forever.They came in 7 and 8x15" sizes in a bmw e30 fitment(also painted vw racing green)




fitted gti spec vented 240's


and a full stainless


never air ride


basically this is the car im working on mainly just now so rather than spamming up the forum with multiple build threads of my current cars ill fill you in on this one

more later

Man that looks unreal.
I prefer the renault wheels and that colour looks brilliant.

Keep up the great work.

[DubSteve]

Looks awesome what are your future plans for the car?

[Jace]

Clean as hell! I love those seats, as well as the Turbines and the colour!
You've done well building a unique MK1.

Welcome!

[dubbed_up_daz]

ive came a bit since then,and ive swapped the oz's up a couple times and the wheels a few times,and the interior and the engine as well lol

OZ's got fully stripped


these appear soon


but in powder


with some


but most of that later,can only post so many at a time lol

[dubbed_up_daz]

the wheels ...










sanded to 1200 then filler primer,flated then primered and wet flatted


and colour


made them up to 8" all round

[dubbed_up_daz]

blew up the 1.3 carb box and found a 1.3 digifant with 5 speed from a polo gt,fitted it plus...


still have the full oe interior

and got the wheels on






got it to a show without it grenading




the distributor on the 1.3gt engine broke so I fixed it


fan cowling now changed for black


decided the 240's were not up to the KR(its lightened and balanced,runs cams and a ported head and inlet,four branch stainless and 2.5" system)so stole the jetta's 285's(and technically the engine was for my jetta as well )

[dubbed_up_daz]

black bits


swapped my old porsche splits from my passat for these rs 071's


but they were a bit of a state although they came with 2 and 2.5" stainless dishes


cleaned them


and fitted them


then sorted these out


and got new bumpers

[Jarred]

I love it! I love how it's still OG paint and all you've had to do is make it look better! (and go harder!)

I like it alot!

[Henri]

Really, really awesome work dude!

[dubbed_up_daz]

thank you It really really wasnt supposed to go anywhere near this. It just kinda generated momentum and the more I used it I loved it but knew I wanted more from my jetta

fitted the sebrings


then some 15" P's with 165 bridgestone's


spends most of its life in the air lol






fitted the(jetta's)seam welded wishbones,poly bushes and powdered strut brace


and more recently have had it off the road while I tool about in my mark 2 as I collect a store of bits. Found oem lhasa green front wings,a set of oem plastic arches as one of mine had parted company although im looking into berg arches or at least a clipper kit,currently having the(jettta's)seam welded and powdered)rear beam fitted with polo stub pins and rear drums,a bigger master cylinder and new in-tank lift pump and external main fuel pump and possibly the(jetta's)powdercoated eibach ARB's ive had lying about along with (the jetta's)fk konigsports with a view to getting it track ready for next years track day sessions and ive been promising myself a nurburgring trip for ever and 180na horses should be quite fun round a track.

as it reads ive pretty much just robbed my jetta off everything but after deciding to go 16vT with the jetta and fitting the early part of the un-needed stuff from the jetta I had a rethink as the golf is now hardly a day to day car,its very harsh already,the engine even just as an NA(fully polybushed)has your teeeth rattling from the initial key turn and not what I want from my jetta which is why ive stole so much from its parts bin as I intend vr'ing it so much of it is redundant(strut brace will catch on the planned install,seats are not comfy on a long run[over 5 hours is a definate no-no]the good bits off this engine would need changed going to a 16vT anyway so that would have been a waste as well and pretty much more excuses in the same vein :p

[dubbed_up_daz]

no excuses really,I absolutely love this one. Its mad noisy,very uncomfortable,fairly impractical,never really runs right but is SO MUCH fun. I grin looking at it whatever wheels its on,break my jaw grinning whenever I get it out and will not part with it until I probably end up totalling it or something stupid

[GoLfMan]

awesome mate, truly love it!

MOAR
