My Golf Rebuild

[GoLfMan]

fantastic, its been a year in the making good luck!

[DubSteve]

Good work there Loon hopefully today all is good for you. The car will be very tuff and sound sweet when roaring down the road.

[Golf Loon]

Its making manly roaring noises today. It has no exhaust from the manifold back and the fumes are bad in the enclosed garage, but it runs. Wahooo.

And she sounds sweet.

Still a million things to hook up, but I put a seat into it today!!! Starting to look like a car. I used the ninja seat base from last weeks swapmeet



Car is Booked in for engineering on the 20th December.
Christmas day burnouts at my place

awesome dude

[tassie_euro_mk1]

awesome.

I really look up to you guys. U do some unreal work to your mk1s and golfs in general.

Good to see that its not just the 2 door mk1s that get all the attention in modifications. Although 2 doors looks sweet, 4 doors are just as good. eg. yours loon, and other forum members.

Looking Ace.

Fantastic mate - cant wait to see it going

[Golf Loon]

Well I just came in from the Garage. My mate Beau, the kjet and wiring wizard came over and we got into it.

Today we did clutch, linkages, tuning, wiring for fan relay and some other jobs.

And it runs and drove for the first time in 2 and a half years!!! Wahoo.
Only 6 feet back out of the garage, but it goes!!!!

Sounds awesome, but still has no muffler at all. Neighbours came over and told me to stop the noise at 9.45, , so only got it 95% tuned, but it starts first time and sounds hawt!

A few loose ends to tidy up, like brakes! then windscreen, bonnet and the rest of the interior, then probably an exhaust!

Im pretty pumped now, the road test is in sight.

cheers brenton

[ontarv]

for a quick fang!!!!

[Golf Loon]

Feels great, but will be better when its roadworthy. I moved it today and it has absolutely no brakes! Scary!

Good things

So they say good things come to those who wait.
Good to Hear the beast is going.
Now for the rest, good work Matt. L

Good luck with the rest, cheers Dave.L

[Golf Loon]

Getting excited now guys. Lots of issues sorted out, like coldstart, which it now does. Going to the exhaust shop soon, just need to bleed the brakes. Interior is looking hot and the car seems to have settled an inch lower since having the interior and engine in
Pics soon.

[ontarv]
