Hi yeah soz for the late reply, the bonnet has been left to gather surface rust, but I'm considering a full shell re-spray in gloss black and a carbon fibre bonnet. I also have a better grill for the car ready to put on! :-) I'v jus got to wait till i've dropped in the new lump and I'll bring it along asap!

I've spent a few hours restoring the roof to its original red colour. I think it adds to the rat look but would be glad of any comments.  |

I've had my golf off the road for a few months now to make a few changes. I have resprayed the roof black due to a copy cat car floating about, de-handled the rear doors and stripped out the back of the car. Slammed on Fk Coilovers, Gti 8v lump & GL gearbox with a Gti shifter. Also have changed the grill.
There are a few more bits to finish off before the car is ready for October time.

My golf hasn't been off the road but has had changes, mostly the fact that now hayleys insured i dont get to drive it....
Good thing i've got a GT engine for the POLOW then....
Gotta say, i liked the red roof but the car is cool....
do you have any issue with bouncing a little too much? mine is dropped 80mm on corrado alloys and now feels like its at sea....

Cheers for the feedback. I haven't taken any new pics of it yet. All there is left to do is modify the fuel pump, new clutch, a little welding and MOT!  I should have a set of Mk4 Polo Alloys going on soon. I've had a 100mm drop on the coil-overs, and is a little bumpy but that's the sacrifice for cornering! I'm hoping I can bring it to the October 6th meet. It's been a long time in the waiting! |

It's been along time in the coming but the old golf is now fired up and hopefully going for an MOT Monday!  I've still got tons more plans for it but just happy to get it on the road next week! |
