Post by: gibby on 13 February 2006, 11:42: I can appreciate the work that's gone into it and I love the dash and the engine bay, but man, the rest of it is not my cup of tea at all. :lipsrsealed: It's certainly not been done to blend quietly in the background that's for sure and it will deffo draw the crowds. :shocked:

Lets be honest, if that had been done to a corsa or a saxo we'd be slating the fook out of it in nonsense. :laugh:

I cant understand a word on that forum, but nice find, some cool cabs on there. :smug:

They're basically saying he just reposted the images from a previous thread and from this:

Even though in his main post he said it wasnt his golf..

Post by: DubFan on 14 February 2006, 00:15: Have to say I don't like it.
The old Golfs are fairly square looking cars and to round them off like that, doesn't work that well.

Check out some of the other pictures on the Cleaned.be forum. He then swapped the front end for something that looks like it's from Audi.:

I respect the amount of work, but the body kit and the dash look terrible.
The best bit is the engine bay, man that is sweet.

Post by: g60 matt on 14 February 2006, 13:36: love the engine bay and dash is prity cool. some of the out side i like, love the way the arches have been made around the wheels, ot coviced the further back it gets, def not a fan of the back end and doors though.
Title: Re: mk1 golf cab - with a difference??
Post by: golfpro on 14 February 2006, 14:29: credit where its due, he is puttin the work in and seems to be doin it to an awesome standard but i dont really like it. The arches are quite smart i gues, the wheels rock and its goin to be a pretty cool colour but thats it.

Post by: Bronze MK1 Cab on 16 February 2006, 08:54: I think side on it does look kinda cool :cool: But I'm not getting the back or the front. Hell of a lot of work put into it though.

Post by: Phil303 on 16 February 2006, 13:55: It's repulsive. :sick:

The only thing that impresses me is how uglier the car gets in proportion to how much more time and money is spent on it.

It's so far removed from a Mk1 that you have to question why he bothered butchering one in the first place.

Makes me want to :cry:
