Love it mate! My Dad had one that age in the late 70', then an 81' GLD till 2000, which had quad round headlamps and a different rear end, such a nice car, even if it was gutless.
And yours looks...

This thing looks awesome, low and slow, do you have any clearance problems up steep driveways and speed humps?
I think that putting a 5 speed in might be alright, but you have to keep in mind...
I already have a manual gearbox, just can't find a pedal box and time to do it. The turbo wagon takes up time now. Not so sure about the spamming of the forum so much about the make though,...
They are a Mk1 man.
I'll be there, on my best behaviour.
Damn, sucks to see yet another Mk1 go at the hands of a young person, $120 a week on fuel!? How far are you driving that thing though?
You've admitted you were very stupid to do what you did and...
Fair enough, to paint my steelies I think I spent 4 hours for the two, rubbing back inside and out, and then 4 coats on each rim, still looks awesome on there. :)
But I bet you'll be cleaning them...
I've read all three, I'm just better at understanding things by seeing them and being able to touch them and whatnot, or I just need to read them multiple times.
Not too bad on the white, how many coats did you use and how well did you sand it back? gonna be a PITA to keep clean :P
I know plenty of people that have had good success with them and they have been tested on autospeed or one of those sites as being more then efficient enough, tube and fin isn't that hard to do.
...
I thought that made sense, the exhaust side of the turbo where the downpipe goes, there isn't any need to make it bigger then the housing hole is, well maybe a little bit bigger, but not much, as...
Nice, what happened to the 3 door?
That intercooler kit has a long way for the air to travel, wouldn't it be best to find or make an intercooler that has the intakes on the one side to keep it nice and short so you get less turbo lag?...
Bump, rims look awesome, how come you are using that intercooler instead of the ebay ones with their intakes at the top?
I can say I've never had a girl say that. So the lesson here is, don't get a Mk1 Golf and paint it matte black if you want to get chick :p
"I reject your reality and use my own" right? :p
It is your car after all, at least it's not in primer :p Crusing tonight?
ahuh :duh:
i did everything i thought i needed to do... i would like to see you do what i have done at my age.[/QUOTE]
I did go through a similar thing, just didn't get quite as ambitious,...
I'm going up to sydney in feb for two weeks, be a lot more comfortable and reliable driving up there in my EFi Volvo then your k-jet dumped mk1 :p
Go with the singles. And awesome that it's almost...
My offer still stands, I beleive you have my number. I remember you saying though you would have it rego'd no troubles :p
So it's still not rego'd?
I'll turn up, would meet somewhere near ringwood if your heading down the eastern? What is the route from albert park?
Damn that sucks, as before if you want help I can come by after work to help, and weekends with enough warning.
Ok fair enough, doesn't look that low in the pictures, but no comparison shots for height either IIRC. And jeez that's a big exhaust for a little motor! They do need some restriction to be able for...
Sounds like you had a way too picky RWC inspector, mine didn't say anything about ride height or exhaust noise...
When do you want us over to help with it? I'm no good at paint, but the rest I can help with.
