this is my new project :funk:

im planning to strip the car to the shell and replace all disscoloured broken moldings and window seals ect get all the wheels refurbed, new tyres sort out all the paintwork smooth the rear wiper and badge also have a mental clean inside shampoo the seats and take the floor carpet out and shampoo it, g60 arches big bumpers (front and rear)colour coded mouldings, remove the full beam lamps and debadge grill slamm it on the floor cyristal clear cross hair front lamps, clear indicators side repeaters

then maybe engine convertion not sure
or
clean engine up to the max and tuck away in the garage or maybe a second car run around :shrug:

has loads of spares with it aswell so might get back some more money too of the main price :D

what do you think?

Awesome choice of project mate, mk2's can look so sweet, hardly have to do anything to em to make em look really nice! Single light conversion would look nice, get the door handles off it, or mayb sum audi 1's?? Would look awesome slammed on the deck with deep dish 15's, proper euro style! Then mayb a 1.8T motor, or vr6 lump lol!! :D

if you are stripping the shell why not go for a smooth look ?

saves a fortune on new parts and mouldings and looks more updated too

rashcupra
31-07-2007, 19:03
i will be :) will have the holes smoothed over from the mouldings but i ment new mouldings as in window scraper mouldings. makes a huge diffrence renewing window seals window mouldings ect gives it a really clean mint look

Fl@pper

the beezer is my race motor so rattles are cool the gti is going to be my run around and my transport to shows work ect so will be made nippy but confortable if you put a mk3 gti bottom end on the 16v golf engines then it is produces 200bhp!!!!!

Well Fuel Actually Was Suppost To Be Trailored Down To My House 3hrs Away But Some1 Aparantly Stole Her Trailer So Im Making The Trip Down There! The Brakes Need Bleeding Too Which Is A Bit Funny As All The Brakes Had Been Changed Ect So Why Ar5ent They Bled?? Ive Gotta Feeling There Could Be A Problem With The Brakes So Il Take Some Brake Fluid And A Bleeding Tool And See Whether It Is Just Needing Bleeding Ect Or The Servo Is Fcuked Or Somink And Il Offer Her Money Accordingly!

dozza.13
15-08-2007, 12:05
Good idea mate, good way to knock a bit more cash off! :) See what ur saying tho, is a bit strange that the brakes been changed but not bled?? Unless done by a muppet? Mite be worth givin car a going over with a fine tooth comb to make sure its safe to drive mate!!!

RichieRich
21-08-2007, 21:04

make sure you don't loose this enthusiasm, my ex had a mk1 fiesta he got as far as puttin glass in getting some seats, one bumper then gave up! It was a mint super sport model with no dents at all and 28,000 miles it spent its life on bricks! I don't think you are like that though you seems well off so money won't be a problem for you like it was for my ex!

rashcupra
22-08-2007, 21:06

10-09-2007, 20:42
looks spot on rash and good car to go for, im looking at the mk3 polo's or mk2 for little runabout and something to play with and restore. i actually think you will enjoy this more than the ibiza. keep the good work up mate. that the 2.0 16v? didnt read through first pages as was looking for the pics!

rashcupra
10-09-2007, 20:54
na the 1.8 16v :D ive falen in love with this car really loved the drive home apart from the squeeking alternator belt :lol: but i was going to try and make some money on this but that idea has gone right out the window now i want it as my everyday car :D always prefered vw's specially the old skool 1's! just trying to buy some g60 arches PRICEY! nearly as much as the flamin car cost! watch this space gaz as things are going to be getting very shiney soon with the respray :funk: :dance:

gazjones
10-09-2007, 21:17
what colour you going for! looks really good. got me wanting to get one now. like the front end with round lights

rashcupra
10-09-2007, 21:25
staying standard colour (jade green) love the colour and want it standardish and mint with very suttle mods like the g60 arches (wider and sideskirts) coilovers and the bigger style gti bumpers ul see i think modding these cars is wrong they look best suttle and mint

gazjones
10-09-2007, 21:35
yep best original glad your keeping it standard ish! the polo mk3 g40 is growing on me but thats not really a run about! can only go upto the 1lt polos for insurance reasons making it worth while running two cars! cant have two petrol guzzlers

rashcupra
10-09-2007, 21:43
g40's RULE! get an old dub gaz and ul be spending loads in no time ive not spent money on my ibiza this month for the 1st ever time becasue of the golf!

gazjones
10-09-2007, 21:46
would love a g40 polo think it would sound ace, a nice red one they look really good as well. shame they only came to uk in mk3 form but you can pick up on from germany in lhd better looking the mk2!

rashcupra
10-09-2007, 21:57

rashcupra
14-09-2007, 20:06
na staying standard will be worth more in a fewyears that way ;)

got anouther more exsperienced pannel beater coming round beginning of next week said he has all the compressors welding kit and all the tools ect and will do it for a few :beer: takeaways :snack: then ive taken time offin november to get her resprayedso hope to still have it finished buy january!

but haventtouched her for a few days as ive got nothing else to do on exterior and dont have enough space to rip the interior apart aswell so am at a holt but no rush hey!

got some jap style golf handles for her throu today and a lower bumper spoiler so will get pics up of them tomorrownight

Cupra_Jay
16-09-2007, 11:51
just read thorugh the thread, and the car seems to be coming on nicely. have got a soft spot for mk2 and mk1 golfs. wud like to own a mk1 golf gti in a few years as a 2nd car and clean her up like your doing

my mate has got a mk2 golf gti, but his is the 8v version. is alright, but im not quite sure what he was thinking with some of the mods...bike can! he has fully striped the interior and put a rear strut brace on it. has got a welded race seat and 4-point harness, racing manifold, bike can (dont know why!), back alloys with a chrome lip, and the car drinks more oil than an alcholic drinks beer in a free bar!

he has also got a super charger to put on it...eventually. will be pretty sweet when its all done though

:sick: not keen on the exhaust, stickers or the sunstrip :sick: but the rest looks good

i'm not keen at all on the exhaust either. have been trying to tell him to get rid and get a letter box style exhaust which in my opinion would suit the car a LOT better, but he doesnt like it!!

RichieRich
23-09-2007, 23:30
could you not get mk2 golf subrames and then attach the seats to them? easiest way?

rashcupra
24-09-2007, 21:00
well its the rear seats thats going to be the problem as they are in two sections on the beezer but on the golf they are a 1 piece back so a bit of welding is in need :)

rashcupra
24-09-2007, 22:05

rashcupra
24-09-2007, 22:29

rashcupra
01-10-2007, 16:57
these are the wheels im buying the 9j 1's with the big dish like in that pic ^^^^ but il be getting the flat borbet centre cap as it makes the dish look biger will give the tyres a masive stretch too!

the weather is exstreamly poor down south so cant get the welding done till the weather cheers up :( :cry: im trying to sell these recaros so i can put the money towards some wheels

Skorchio
01-10-2007, 20:15
Yeh i know what caps you mean. My mate has these shiny wheels (with the flat caps) in his loft and the MK2 still in bits in the garage. :lol: He got 7" on the front tho. and ofc streched rubber. Yours is comming on so much better than his is :)

rashcupra
01-10-2007, 20:25
does he want to sell??? ask him!

Skorchio
01-10-2007, 20:47
I dont think he will, there brand new. He bought then to go on it but he ent finished it yet.

he is really stupid. Well nice car Engine is very nice producing 160BHP. He Just needs to pull his fingure out!!

Im going to show him your beast.. Give him some enthusiasum!! :)

rashcupra
01-10-2007, 21:19
still ask him il be willing to pay near new price for them ;)

Skorchio
01-10-2007, 21:52
Ill ask him mate and let you know :)

dozza.13
02-10-2007, 00:15
How much are the wheels costing ya mate? They new or used?

Skorchio
02-10-2007, 08:37
I think my mate spent 900 on his. Not sure tho. Thats with proxies.

rashcupra
02-10-2007, 17:56
£430 for new wheels £50 for the diffrent centre caps and £280 for tyres fitted and ballanced!

i can get them for £760 if my maths at school payed off :)

thursday the weklding and the rest of the filler work as the pannel beater feels better and the weather is suppost to be clearing up so hopefully should be done by the beginning of next week! this has really slowed me down havent touched it for a week + !

richybigman
02-10-2007, 18:06
The wheels sould look amazing mate, and at that price a bargain. Look forward to seeing the finished project.

rashcupra
