my `76 GOLF 3dr

[Jarred]

yup!

you missed that im having a drive

haha you aint driving **** boy!! unless, i drive yours and you drive mine??!? aye aye??

Yeah you failed to mention about the matte black bonnet with an iron cross on it...

actually my front ent is incomplete and some kinda beige primer stuff, so i've decided I'm going to run my front end rat stylez... havn't decided on a final colour, but I think I'll be needing a sticker that says "UNDER CONSTRUTIONZ:" or something...

[WABIT]

Gee chopped springs are great, you can get so low with them!






but seriously. I didn't chop any springs, (it was a joke...) thanks to golf houso for these p/chops, which one do we reckon looks best??

hahaha the funny thing is reading this is that my car did look like that in real life.... you need to cut at least 6 coils to achieve this stance

meh we have so many sets of stock springs between us, that choppity chop chopping any of them wont matter i think we have to do this for nats J-man

[Jarred]

yea I think I've a few pairs of stock springs, and a few old struts. I'll only need two springs I think, chop each in half, and you have four springs!!

I may do something like this tho, but I'm more concerned about getting up there before anything else...

[JP-009]

I'm more concerned about getting up there before anything else...

Are you aiming to have it ready for the 'nats? It'll be good to see it.

[Jarred]

It should be ready in a few weeks time, reg'd and everything. I'm more concerned about it being reliable, cause I don't want any troubles come the roadtrip to nats

and besides, I'm sick of having it in my driveway and garage (ok dad's garage, but he's sick of it being in there too...) I just want to get it on theroad and drive, so things like wheels and suspension and stuff, I can fiddle with later on

[Jarred]

yay for getting a UVP!! (unreg'd vehicle permit)

funny thing was that I saw another mk 1 down at vicroads getting inspected! ha, how bout that! wasn't anyone from the forum. but sure was a clean and very stock example! down to the orig wheels and carb and pollution gear!

anywho. Now i have to book in to get my exhaust made, and then get my car ready to drive on the road!

I also hastily finished my rear seat. It looks bad, but I dont care, I can fix it up later on if I wish to...I'll take some pics later if I can be bothered...

[GoLfMan]

sounds good bro, when your finished you wont have any more excuses not to get your boney arse round to my place to help finish my ****ter before nats!

[Jarred]

look mah! ta daahhhh!!!...

(okey it's not completely finished yet, but like it's all back together and yay and this is how it's gonna be for a while so yea. and Did I mention, um yay!)









yea, Exhaust is getting made tomorrow, Oh I'll take some pics of inside and stuff thurs with the exhaust on. maybe.

but yea. I'm excited.

[static1800]

fix that front panel dude!! you not running the Bathurst globes?? looking good though!!

[Water Boy]

Jarred i just re=read the whole build and what a job mate... All backyard style that what dubbin is all about...

U gota show us the pics of your interior now... Also so close it will be going soon...

Cheers James

BTW i like the odd coloures front panel

[Jarred]

Yea I havn't been bothered to do the front panel. It's so far gone it's not worth it, It's go so much bog in it, it's just silly. So I'm going to what till I can source a (brand new) or really good nick front end, and tac that on, rather than wasting anymore time on the buggered one.

The globes need adapter spacers, to fix the centre bore, and MAJOR clearance issue. The spacer needs to be like 25 mm or something I think, cause the back of the rims is almost flat, so It fouls on the caliper. and I'm totalyl not low enough for them either! I might sell them to josh, they look better on his car anyways, and he can turn up the adapters at work!

anywho, I need an underconstruction sticker for my front end, like that red mk 1 with the white front right fender with the sprayed on sticker/sign thing. If any one knows what i'm talking about...
