11/78 mk1 gls

[Tim]

I would really like some nice subtle 13" or 14" wheels though. 'Pepperpots', Riken or Epsilon or SSR 'Mesh/Meshies', all-silver ATS classics etc.
One day...

Not sure if it suits your style but I have a friend looking to offload some 13x6 4x100 ET25 minilite reps if youre interested. Not sure how they go fitment wise on a mk1. All are in excellent condition and plenty tread on the tyres. cheap cheap.

I appreciate that Tim!
I'm not too sure. Not really what I'm after though. I want something sort of rare/cult-like.
Not that I can afford sht now anyway.

Thanks though!

yyyyep no stress man. Not really anywhere near as cool as the wheels you have listed above. Just chucking them up in case they tickled yours or anyone elses fancy. Already got a couple pms about them

New suspension arrived today.
I'll probably install them tomorrow night.


Tonight I gave the threaded section of the shafts a good coating with this:


I've had coilovers in another car before. The same night they arrived I was straight under the car chucking them in.
Long story short: raising the car sucked!

There's a lot more room in the wheel-arches in a Golf than in a MX5, which should help too.


Since I bought the car I was hoping to fork out a bit more and get something a bit more reputable, like KW V1's, but these popped up, and thanks to Alex (mrlex) I've got 'em.


Now all I should need for RWC are brake pads/rotors and a windscreen.
Just gotta get motivated!

Awesomeness!

Looking forward for this one mate.

nice work man, glad to see you with a project that I can follow after reading your posts on jdmst for so long I'm really tempted to sell my mk4 and get a mk1 as a daily

[Jace]

Cheers Anth. I appreciate that, because your 510 build thread is awesome.
You attend the Melbourne meets much? For VWW and JDMST?
I'll meet you at one of them man!

One of the other reasons I wanted a MK1 is because they seem simple as to me. I wanna tool-up and learn to do everything on this.
