Aye, Jo keeps changing his mind. I talked to him at GTI festival and he does some work on it but then decides he can do it better so does it again.  :grin:

Suggested to Steve @ Golf+ mag that Jo's TVR/Golf may make an interesting addition to their stand at Inters..... he totally agreed.

Just got off the phone to Jo and the monster is being painted tonight. Still work to be done but pay attention at Inters.... this should attract some attention  :cool:

This was unbelievable, the inside is just awesome and jo did let gti89 and myself have a look inside it  :grin: I daren't ask to look at the engine for the very reasons mix stated earlier. He also started it for us and it sounds just like a tvr (hmmm, I guess it would really !  :laugh: :laugh:) He has every intention of taking this down the strip at GTI festival and if it's there it will be on the golfgti.co.uk stand. Bring it on !  :grin: :grin:

Hi All,

I'll introduce myself in the top thread but got drawn to this one.

This is one crazy ass car and absolute full respect to Joe for putting this together.

It's gonna be one mean kick ass machine.  Anyway the guys were kind enough to let me film it, once I have vwvids put back together again it will be on my specials page but for those that cannot wait, heres an 11meg video clip from Inters

Thanks again guys for letting me shoot this  :cool:

Title: Re: He rolls like a boss!! TVR/Golf update
Post by: topher on 10 May 2005, 21:25
two-tone cream / burgandy if you want retro ... but being a mk1 you cant go far wrong with lhasa green either :cool: .. i reckon porsche pepperminit blue would suit it well too. Infact you'd have to try bloody hard to make it look bad :laugh:
Title: Re: He rolls like a boss!! TVR/Golf update
Post by: ...joe on 10 May 2005, 21:28
maybe audi rs blue? but i like the lhasa green idea too. you seen that porsche hybrid in pvw?
Title: Re: He rolls like a boss!! TVR/Golf update
Post by: Veedubgt18v on 10 May 2005, 21:30
think you should go old skool conventional, 2 tone is cool. NO AIRBRUSHING tho. make it look subtle cos then it will be a contradiction which will be cool........i reckon anyway!
Title: Re: He rolls like a boss!! TVR/Golf update
Post by: piggy on 10 May 2005, 21:42
Primer Grey looks  :cool:

Either that or Lhasa Green sounds good to me :smiley:
Title: Re: He rolls like a boss!! TVR/Golf update
Post by: monkeyalan on 10 May 2005, 21:53
yeah, go for a standard colour! lhasa greens nice. :smiley:

I'm liking the cream and burgundy idea that topher said.  :grin:

Post by: mix on 10 May 2005, 22:27
Nah, leave it with the unfinished look :huh: so that you surprise people more when you zoooooom down the track in uber short time :grin:

More sensibly now, lhasa green or black.....or that orangey colour that is occuring more now

Haven't seen the latest PVW yet but are you referring to one that was built back in  I think the  80s early 90s with 928 running gear etc
( I had a book on GOLFs mild and wild , can't seem to find it at the mo )  
I was wondering where he got the front screen made up on the TVR / GOLF  as the bloke with the 928 monster apparently had great difficulty getting one made back then .
P.S. I'd imagine the TVR beast would be the quicker of the two but it would be good find out up at the POD!   :cool: :shocked:

Yeah, thats the one, black with a few chrome trimming etc!!  He made the front and rear windows out of plexi glass by the looks of it.  all of them where in fact.  Nice and light!!!

rat look would be cool but a 10foot wide mk1 isnt exaclty subtle so i would go with a theme for the paint etc

Title: Re: He rolls like a boss!! TVR/Golf update
