This is the mk1 owned by the lad who's dad owns the bodyshop I take my car too. Obviously it's not going to be to everyones taste, but then again everyone has different tastes.
All the work was done by himself over several years. that's the 4th or 5th version of the bonnet on there now and I think he said it's going to be sprayed a different colour soon.
FAQ:
the rims are 19's on the TT ;D
The rollcage is handmade by Jamie
The dash is from a BMW
it's running 17's
The arches are handmade by Jamie too
anyway
here are the pics

big bumpers need to come off, dont suit it and dont seem to fit too well either, BUT ... easily rectified, and apart from that the car looks proper pukka 8)
-
Not to my taste but he's done a very good job and obv has a talent for it!
-
^got to agree with gal here like! As long as he likes it thou! ;D
Dinx :-*
-
i like the door cards with the VW logo on it. Big bumpers dont suit along with the wheels. quality finish though
-
His dad owns the bodyshop you Say? No offence but id stop going there.
Im a fan of the wierd and different, But a painted matt black hood instead of a Real CF one? Common, Thats just lame, The colour, Dont even start me, The big bumpers hardly line up, The whole in the rear for the exhaust, Hmmmm no thanks. VW door cards, EWWWW! The gadge pods Put me off lunch, The wheels are....Well not to my liking.
I like the relocated fuel cap tho 8) But not my cup of tea im afaid. :-\
-
The building could do with some maintenance too!
Grass in the gutters etc. Aint even face blockwork!
If Workmanship goes hand in hand i wouldnt go there either.
-
looks pretty shoddy mate :-\
only my opnion ;)
-
Have to say I agree with Fielder
Although not to my taste those doorcards did make me smile, at least he's proud he owns a dub! 8)
That bonnet should be ripped off im afraid as should that modified rear big bumper :-X
in fact both bumpers as neither seem to fit properly (funny that!)
-
It's good to see an E30 dash in a mk1, but not sure why he relocated the instrument cluster to the heater panel :-\ it must be a bit distracting when you drive it. There are some innovative touches though. I like the filler cap, and the BMW door pulls.
-
before anyone else slags the bonnet, thats what a new panel looks like when they deliver it, it's not painted black at all, and like dizzie said he's going to spray it soon 8)
(if he sprays it black i retract the above statement >:( )
-
he said he was going to spray it yes!
AdamB, he's going to put a big Rev gauge infront of the steering wheel and a TFT screen in the center console.
Len, those buildings don't belong to them. their bodyshop is the one behind that's better.
i knew you'd all have nits to pick on it. We all know the big bumpers don't look right on the mk1's, but I think he's done well to get them looking half decent.

We wouldnt be Dubbers if we weren't perfectionists though, Dizzie. ;)
