After getting my cabby from ML17 (a member on here) and comming up with a plan and design of restoration i came up with a list of things to do,some were a must and some were out of choice and want.
The list
No real work has been done to this yet as i have only had it for a week but the plan is too-
* Sort the gear linkage out
* replace bonnet,both front wings,both doors and boot
* knock the small dents out of the rear quarter panels
* replace the whole interior,hopefully for a mint cream or biege nuber
* replace GTi arches,lots of cuts and scores in these
* replace the bumpers for small chrome jobbies]
* get new chrome pannel trims
* coilovers or airbags depending on how much mo9ney i have
* chrome 13x7 and 13x8 wheels or 14"
* respray in chocolate brown
* and to finish on some californian number plates
well being bored tonight i came up with a design for my golf Cabby
This is how it started

This is my chop,

All custom brushed,yes it looks a bit toony...but you get the idea.
Chocolate brown matt or satin paint,
Cream interior,
Chrome wheels,bumpers rub stip and window trims
slammed on either coilovers or bags....its a chop it doesnt matter,lol
So this is a quick design i aim to work towards,what do you think?

If you can get that top pic looking like the bottom pic then that would be pretty damn cool. :cool:
It looks wicked and the brown looks so old school too. :afro: Like it a lot. :grin:

One of the lads on here used to have a bronze cab and it looked fab..such a nice colour to have a cab..
Like gib says, get that looking how you have shopped it and you'll have one cool cab hun :afro:

Does anyone know what those wheels are?i cant remember their name..think its "something"turbos

You're thinking of Ronal Turbos, but those on the potato chop are Schmidt TH Lines, split rims in two or three piece. :nerd: I love those wheels. :cool: Google both and then look at the images. :smiley:
Edit: It's ok, I've done it for you :smiley:
