looks cool, love those wheels.

[DognamedElvis]

A few parts have arrived
28/36 DCD Weber and manifold, Mk1 Gti Calipers (still need to buy discs/braided lines) also scored some early Porsche gauges...

Carpet should arrive tomorrow, along with a new moulded dash mat (dash is grand canyon), I've gone with a charcoal set as the rooflining has already been done that colour. And I also have a new shift boot and handbrake boot coming with yellow stitching
I'll drop more photo's when everything is fitted.

I got lucky in the classifieds here... The Mk1 Golf Owners Club: You have been blocked
There are parts for these little gems the world over

So after just a short time owning the little Golf, I have decided to Sell my Subaru
To make up for it's absence, I will be purchasing a "Big Brake Kit" to complement my GTi calipers (these are in major need of a rebuild...who does kits?) a full PowerFlex bush kit and a full Ashley exhaust. This will be mated to the headers I scored from Josh...I've tidied these up a fair bit, and they will be getting a flex join and o2 bung welded on. I have a Stack Ltd. wideband from the Subie I can't bare to part with, so I'll fit that to the Golf. I plan to paint and wrap the headers, clean and paint (wrinkle black) the intake manifold (possibly wrap that too) when/if the temperature ever gets over 13degrees C.
I am on the lookout for some MK2 GTi Recaro's or VR6 seats too.
Hopefully, the Golf should be looking good come GAD.
Pete.

That sounds cool haha, it seams the mk1 sickness has struck again !! Lol cant wait for more updates keep them up mate

[HillFlog]

Wow that is a blast from the past, I made an attempt to purchase that car about eight years ago, it still looks great and I'm really happy somebody is enjoying it! I bought a mars red one, painted it blue and built a 1.9 8v then a 1.8 16v and now have an abf installed but have not driven it for 7 years DOH! You know you own a Mk1 project when...

[DognamedElvis]

Some good and bad news...fail on the dash mat...the e-bay seller's manufacturer has stopped making them...so old browny it is for now
But I did score this

Had to pull a few strings via FB to get a friend of a friend to buy it for me, but I'm super happy to get a copy, even if it's not mint.
Still waiting on my carpet too
Pete.

And I have used Knox Carpets Knox Auto Carpets - miscellaneous moulded car carpets

[DognamedElvis]

Cheers guys...my Carpet is coming through Knox, via a local auto parts place...they may be my problem. Apparently (same source) Tru-Fit no longer do Mk1 Carpets.
It's the dash mat that has fallen through, but I'm going to have a shot at resurfacing the dash, until a good one turns up.
I've just ordered these too...I checked with the Seller first and they are 2 door specific...WIN

It was never something I had planned to buy...I just get hard for CF.

I have sold my Subaru now, and have decided to keep the Recaro SR3, which will be re-trimmed in something 'suede like'. I am going to cop out on the rest of the seats for now and just run sheepskin.
No pics till GAD.
Pete.
