Right guys and gals, About time I brought you all into my world
My project is based on my old 1987 D reg parma violet crazy coloured 1.3 golf, It was my pride and joy for the few months I owned it, But it came around to MOT time and the car had a rottien chassis and break pipes and failed the MOT.
Now it's hard to beleve a dub would rot, But this one served a hard life.
The car had rotted on the passenger side front chassis innner wing and chassis seam were seperated and the chassis was holed in several places, This was caused by a front end bump someware down the line before I owned the car, The repair job was crap, Another front quarter had been welded on and they'ed done a crap job, All in all it was not worth repairng the car as it stood me at £200 so I thought it better to get another and start afresh.
Before we move onto my current VW I will show you the old one and explain what I did.
Here is a pic of the car before I stripped all my stuff off it and weighed it in
Look at the sexy beast!
And after the stripping job was complete, alot less pritty
Well thats what it looked like and finnished off looking like!
I stripped my doors, boot, bonnet, lowering kit, alloys, big bumpers jetta front end, light eyebrow and light clusters off the car also the GTI interior and MFA clocks ect were removed along with the veedub rebranded scorpion 918 alarm/imobiliser!
These will all be reapiering on my new car. Also the 1.3 engine and 4 speed box were taken for a rebuild
At this point you may be asking why the title? well I see this project as taking an innocent car... and abbusing it untill it suits me
and I really do think lime green paint with a nice set of 15" black BBS alloys will be absoublt lunacy, And the twin dellortro carbs that will be finding there way onto the rebuilt engine next year
Now I have come this far it's time to tell you what my next car is... the answer? another 1987 1.3c!
The following pics are of the car as it stands now, and over the next few months I will be bringing reports of the cars progress and sexy looks that will come of my stuff being refitted
Full frontal action!
Arse end
And a nice side view!
Now this car has been in my family for about 14 of it's 18 year life so it's well looked after and unlike the last one is solid underneath, with abit of work this one will look as good as the good old "D111 TNS" that you see above
Thats enough for now, but untill my next installment I will leave you to think about one thing.... A 1.3 with twin dellotro's? am I blinking mad?
well after all the title is "1.3 lunacy"
and for the record, I am totaly insane
