    Project Never Never

    here's the never ending project the '77 Mk1 Golf GLS
    I will be getting it ready for nationals, no more excuses, have bought a whole heap of parts and will be taking the plunge to rwc hopefully sometime next month to give me a couple of months to iron out any niggles before a long journey.
    also still deciding on the look im tryin to achieve

    here she is awaiting a bigger heart. 1.6 bored to 1.8 with head work, aparently built for rallying should be fun its stock officer i swear


    up on blocks with the new donk infront


    The DCOE just cos i love it, need new rubber gaskets for this baby.


    Jarred's Glodes certainly get around, i reckon they look better on my car


    this is what happens when you let a ham fisted idiot work on your car, this is the hub which is SOLID METAL

    the destroyed front right hub wont let go ot the driveshaft and i dont have a socket big enough to take to it, so its a roadtrip up to golfworx's place where he is kindly giving me a hub for free.

    Your a true champ Tim.

    just bought some extractors aswell for it which will make it sing.

    thanks for looking plenty of updates to come.

    opinions needed to rat or not to rat that is the question!
