Brown mk1 golf - 10 years in the making...
Here's how she finished up after 10 years on and off working on my mk1.
 and this is how it got there. Here's how is started in 1998  which progressed into this...    and finally in 2002 it looked like this.    The Golf + cover in July 2002. Love the wheels dont you      The car did 3 shows before it was back i the garage and on with the rebuild. I stripped the whole thing and started again. That stereo took 6 months to install and 2 hours to rip out.  The car took up home at Paul Websters for quite a while whilst the work got underway Engine out  Smoothing the bay  it was all or nothing now, I'd turned my finished mk1 into a rolling shell. pants.

The obligatory shiney bits
 and the new "injection" system... 45 webers...  Polishing began on the head and inlet manifold  ...and the f**king gearbox.   Also got a pedal box from Volks-speed  then the car was sent off to the Selectadrive in Hull to start the smooting. First the rear interior arches, and then the engine bay       colour to test the overall shape  chassis legs notches to allow for drive shafts  My uncle got the block back together, and I started adding the shiney bits.   New exhaust from G Werks  Polished and put in place...

Air ride from BSS Air Ride in Holland.... good kit, but requires some strut welding.
  There definately wasn't enough room for all of the kit in the original spare wheel well with the original tank.  That was Plan A out of the window. Plan B was to weld in a second hand well from another car, but they are HARD to find. Plan C was to buy a replacement panel and weld it in, but no one makes one. So Plan D was to have one made and have an alloy tank made that fitted into the well.     got some bling back from the chromers.       This is how the interior looked on friday before it went off to MJ's.

I'd gone through loads of different colour schemes and designs before finally going for a hot-rod sort of theme. The most important thing was to have unique door cards because a lot of "done" mk1's have similar variations along the same theme.
 and the baby seat   the dials were tricky to get right and this is version 10 or something. I dont have a photo of the needles, but they are laser cut from stainless steel and have VW logos on the base.      steering wheel and rear view mirror both relatively cheap buys from ebay.com   you'd think the car was nearly done, but in reality it still had to go back to the sprayers for some much needed work. Because I was stubborn I decided to leave the engine in and wrap it I took it out in the end as the engine bay had to be resprayed as well.  so off to the sprayers...      Liking the matt brown effect. Ready for final paint and a polish.    Back at the lockup and the rebuild begins. Repolished the Porsche winter wheels as well.   Engine back in and ready to run. I had no idea what was coming round the corner. I couldn't get any oil pressure at all. 2 engine rebuilds later and it turned out to be a stupid small valve in the oil filter bracket which has got blocked up. anyway, I'm trying to blank out that fortnight of my life... on with the pics.  At the mot... cheers Carl    After almost 10 years of work, getting on the cover of the Golf + (July 2008) is a real finishing post.   a couple of weeks later and a good offer came up on the porsche wheels, so they had to go... and back on came the Steffan RS's. I'm really please with the look.   Thanks for looking though my photos.... if you want to read more about this build, you can look through the entire 58 page thread here... http://www.demonvwforum.co.uk/forum....php?f=4&t=6105 Paul.

omfg... lots of respect from behind this computer!!
amazing interior, amazing details... Btw, I'd say the Steffans look better than the Porsche's furthermore, aren't there supposed to be any bolts in the Steffans?

the steffan are an imitation split rim, so the bolts they come with a plastic push-in things. I removed them, threaded the holes and used grub screws instead. I need to put them in the wheel in that photo
thanks for the comments.
