under the weight..... a new beginning (pic intensive)

[detvw]

Just picked up PVW. Congrats!

[urogolf]

read the feature of this in pvw here in the UK, straight to the top of one of my favourite mk1s of all time strangely pretty much none of it is how I would have a mk1, but everything works so well and creates something that most never could

Thanks so much! Its really appreciated

Such a tease with the wheel shots Lou, Can we get some more angle on those pics please...lol

Jarrod just picked em up for some polishing! Will post better pix up next week.

[jsvr6nsd]

Did the wheels ever comeback from polishing? Lol

Lol yeah and I wasn't happy with em so they were sprayed silver and sold...

I ended up picking up some OZ volcanoes that I will be restoring over the winter..

Some proper size tyres will make things right


Some minor updates coming soon

The dream of the 90's lives on.

[urogolf]

U betcha

[nothing-leaves-stock]

it's almost winter....time for a new motor setup right? haha

[urogolf]

I did consider a VR6 swap for a minute, (already CE2 + Eurowise= profit???) but.. this winter is going to be for tidying up loose ends, finishing the engin cover, swapping trannies with an FN..

One thing I am toying with is pulling the Callaway out at some point, but I dont know.
I will wait til I am able to have some more fun with it to decide for sure which way I go.
I have only driven it like 4 times and maybe 200 miles??? since I installed it..

[VR_Kraut]

Loose ends? Can't imagine what could be left. I spent most of my day yesterday going through this thread and, as I'm sure you already know, I was left wanting more and thoroughly impressed. Great job and I'd love to see this in person one day.

[urogolf]

Thans so much!

There aren't many, need to wire in the VSS, the tach. changing some of the gauges so need to wire those in..
Was having an issue with the horn not workin intermittently, so that needs to be looked at
Gotto finalize the rear mounted washer bottle that feeds the front washers.

That sort of stuff.

[2nd Chance]

[berg cup]

[urogolf]

The BBS didn't work out? That sucks, they really looked like a good fit!

[urogolf]

No they didn't.. I purchased them with the sole intention of polishing the faces and lips and painting the pockets brown.. but a couple things happened.. the grade of aluminum they were made with wouldn't brighten up enough when polished.. and the aluminum on the center caps looked like chrome in comparison. I only wanted them that way. If that didnt work I didn't want em at all

Crap, I just dropped a set off to be polished.

[urogolf]

Maybe ur set was made in another batch than mine..

I had my buddy at shine works give em a go and i spent a whole day with everything I could throw at one and couldn't em get em to bling like my momo's.. not gonna lie I was bummed...
Jarrod at Shineworks did my Momo's and I couldn't be happier with em...

those actually would have looked good if you could have gotten them to work. i have a set of those myself except my caps are plastic( and missing one). i debate cleaning them up once and a while. too bad you didnt throw one on for pics

[urogolf]

Prior to polish and paint


They did look really clean in silver after I sprayed em and sold em

this thread always proves im a slacker.. I may wash my car for the first time this year this week. maybe. I say you drive it some more.. Like josh said, we all know that engine will be swapped out again before the thaw.

[VR_Kraut]

That sort of stuff.

Regardless, this thread has put the motivation I need back in my head to get my MkII done. So I will continue to keep an eye here...don't disappoint me! Haha. Good luck with everything, sir.

[urogolf]

[stealthmk1]

IMHO the BBS would have looked great all silver, but that's just me. I'm sure you've got something up your sleeve for the Volcanos.
