build thread :)

hey guys

well this is my mk1, which after a few months of searching i found for 1500, down to 1000 in rural victoria. with a 9 hour drive to get there from canberra and another 9 back, i just got lazy and got my brother who lives in melbourne to pick it up :L

this is my first car build, that im doing almost entirely myself, its gonna be a struggle being a 16 year old guy with no money and needing money to repair my bike, and the car aswell haha. but lets just go with the flow yeah?

well anyway, its a red 1978 4 door mk1, with hardly any rust apart from the front bumper area, but thats fair easy to fix i believe.

theres not too much wrong with it tbh, but the rear right door is missing a lock button, and the boot will not open, no matter how hard i try, anybody know how to break into it? :L

this is how the front of the car looks so far..

this is after a semi strip, really annoying but, because the carpet is glued on, it stinks, and i can get the rest of the carpet out without removing the dash :L

the interior was in very good nick for a 35 year old car, and with some tlc will hopefully clean up very,very nicely.




this build is basically going to be a complete stripdown and rebuild, with everything either being replaced or rebuilt etc, and its gonna be super fun haha,
