Mk1 16v Project

[Preen59]

Picked up a straight, uncracked dash from Paintz today.

Also picked up my new OEM single headlight full open grill from Mik.. Even did a little tuning on Mik's 16v. It idles now and everything! haha.

Dash will go to the trimmer next week to get a couple of spots sorted.. Or maybe a reskin.. We'll see what he says.. Will get some pics tomorrow or something.

Dash is now in the talented hands of Wayne from Street Trim. Waiting to hear back about what it'll cost for repair and re-skinning.


Also asked him about (GOOD!!!) Mk1 carpet kits.. So he's going to see what he can come up with.

Glad it's not me...

Spewing that the car isn't Lago Blue anymore, but I suppose it's not the fastest colour out there.

I dig the choice of the coil location. Less **** in the bay, the better.

I like the blue, but unfortunately the car had a reputation with the local highway patrol. A change of colour enabled me to drive around without being pulled up all the time for RBTs and getting followed, booked when I was doing nothing wrong.. Etc (i'm not kidding). I wasn't fussed about what colour looked fast. Haha.

Yes I'm hoping to have a pretty clean engine bay, without looking shaved. This entire project is all about being neat and not flash, form integrated into fuction, etc.

Nice little write up in VWMA.
Good way to summarise 93 pages of a build thread

Coming along nicely mate, going to the nats?

Yeah I'll be bringing the GLD down for a day trip most likely. My mate is coming with me and I think Coxy09 is going to tag along also.
