Nice !!

jezus :eek:

skills!

Damn... :eek: :woowoo:

He has some great skills! Hope I can do stuff like that in a few months (when I wil have time enough to practice welding...).

Forgot to talk English (again!)... He has some great skills, but i'm not digging the looks of his project (yet)...

I'm quitte sure the front will look nice -> wenn the ducktail is on installed. I just don't understand why he is not using a Golf Mk1 frontend, just weld that in and start to modify it.

Since the title of this topic says: Mk1 Wagon

I was thinking about a "strechted" Golf Mk1 or rebuild Jetta Coupe with Golf Mk1 rearend. So I'm hoping he will install a Golf Mk1 rearhatch :eek: :tongue:

@ Melly: you indeed have trouble with the section system...

yeh me neither (about the front end) seems simpeler then all the fiberwork and the rest of the car is all metal too... then again.. mk1 round headlight fronts aren't a dime-a-dozen in the US either

It's still a Fox, and as such, is the VW Parati from Brasil which was sold as the VW Fox in USA/Canada. The Fox sedan is the VW Voyage from Brasil, they are both variations of the VW Gol

(I may have mixed the Brasilian names)

hey thats my car
 

Hey guys just thought I would say hi. This is my car. I am still working on it everyday. i would have liked to do the front end in metal too. (still might) as for fitting a mk1 metal front end ? it wasn't even close to fitting.

keep us updated ;)

I have been welding a bit too, today. It is really hard to get it the way I exactly want it to be (check my project -> link is in my signature). I respect you work a lot.

But I was thinking, you are spending so much energy on that car, why not weld in a Golf mk1 front end (and where I was talking about, rear end aswell ;) )?

Anyhow, keep us updated and have fun building your ride!

Nice project, takes a lot of imagination jus to come up with that! Great skills, and the colour's just fine like that :wink:

won't fit, fox is really something else as a mk1, comes closer to a passat than a golf..

so I reshaped the front and glassed it again













I found the eye brows in my parts storage. just thought i would see how they look

loose the brows (IMHO)
love how the duckbill fits, but it really does need that little grill under the main one you have planned.. just a little too clean now...

Nice, but it`s still missing the MK1 frontlook

Oh, look, it's a hovering car! How high can it fly? :D

Yea i dont think i am going to keep the eyelids

ooow, back on it's wheels it loos so much better... even without the lower grill...

looks like a toy-car! cool :D

Awesome! Definitely junk the eyelids, but the rest is perfect! Very different look, I agree that it looks like something Matchbox made :)

imho it's too clean... love the work though!

damn, i'm not sure about the looks so far
but respect 4 alle the work

got some more glass on the front










sanded it and did a skim coat over the whole thing






after a bit more sanding and time








Refitted the duckbill fits better now after the reshape

love the dead-center lug ;)

more pics
 

Dude that's just a work of art, amazing stuff... :thumbup:

yeh the new bodyline works wonders.. still gonna do the lower grill or did you scrap that idea?

no i still need to make it out to the scrap yard.

Still keeps getting better :) :) :) :) :) :)

no work on it today had to woke on my truck. had a vacuum leak to fix (have to get it smogged tomorrow)





yea that's not the lower grill i will be using. I still need to make it out to the junkyard to get parts to make the lower grill.

as for eye brows i sill am on the fence about them..

holy shit... now it's all gonna come down to the wheels... fox's are 4X100 right?

yep 4x100

did i bit of sanding (wet) today.

damn that's low..

I'm lovin' it :)

nice...

got any "normal" pics so we can get an idea of the whole picture?
