Hey guys

Thought I'd post some pics of my current rides/projects seeing as I'm still in the market for the perfect beemer, lol.
It's nothing too crazy but it has been a labour of love - trying to juggle this project amongst getting married and having 2 other rides has proven quite challenging but all the more rewarding when you tick a box on the to-do list.

Details:
• 1979 Mk1 Golf
• 1 owner (I'm the 2nd)
• Was 1100cc till my heavy foot caused it to explode. Completing the 16v+ITB conversion as we speak.
• full wire-tuck and battery relocate and shaven engine bay
• Compomotive Ensure's 13x8j -10et on Pirelli P5000 175/40/13s
• Fk Coils/ Slight arch-work
• Re-spray Corsa Rosso Base+Clear (OG colour=red)
Etc etc..

Anyways..enough talk, here are some pics showing the short version of what's been done. Comments welcome.

When brought her home


Managed to source a set of compomotives aka biryani-pots and had them refurbished, lol.


Then it was time for the complete strip-down and re-spray


One of her 1st days out


Can't post any more, forum link giving me errors. will try a bit later.
Cheers.
