my flatmates Renault 5 (1.1) :'(
... and the good news is that my golf will be out of the bodyshop late next week having had a re-spray and 90 spec bodykit fitted, new injectors and timing setup correctly alongside a new clutch and a couple of injectors :D
... meanwhile I've removed my interior and it's gone to MJ for a black leather re-trim with white stitch and VW detailing. ;D
Now to find a dealer for ICE - I want a screen upfront to entertain one of my best friends 8)whilst I bring her to and from university in Luton (173 miles from Bradford where I am). Any recommendations?
Regards

Too late, bought a screen now ;D... definately on a mission with my baby. Want her to be nice and luxurious and all round nice ride for the Summer.
Got an 8" widescreen from www.flyonthewall.uk.com. Just gotta get a DC>AC inverter to fit the PS2 for dvd/gaming.
Also would you guys be able to recommend any sites which give quite detailed information on creating your own fibreglass installs?
Thanks in advance

1 litre cars are the bomb. 86mph I had out of mum's last night ;D

My first car before the Golf was a mk3 Fiesta - 1.0 - 4 gears and although fun at the time (forgive me I knew no different) I got sick of blowing the engines. Went through 2 engines within a year and decided that enough was enough when an old friend gave me the golf.
The golf is a 1.8 8v on a '88 plate and had been off the road for nearly 2 years, no tax or mot and looked a shed but with a 1.8 lump under the bonnet I decided it was time to start investing in a proper car... nearly a year later and it's getting there ;D
She's gonna feel so much faster when I get her back if not for the timing setting up properly for the fact I'll have gottedn used to this crappy Renault.
Just bought clear front indicators and fogs for new bumper and need to buy another 2x12" subs for the boot to sit alongside my 15" JBL and a few sets of comps in front and back.
Hopefully my screen will arrive in the morning so have to start looking into building a custom dash mount for it at same time as doing custom sub/amp build and parcel shelf.
Getting there :)

have jou got the mj interior price list mirage??
-
I've not got the price list mate, just went down to see him as he's only down the road from me, literally within a mile or two and only 3 roads ;D
Check out his website, some nice Golfs outside his shop last week. Very nice.

Mirage, you driving around Bradford then ?
-
Yeah Gibby, driving around Bradford mate. I live in Bolton Woods just down the road from VR VW's.
Driving an alpine white 8v Gti on F plate.
Got Kahn lookalike 17's and tints and looks a little rough at the moment (hence why it's on bodyshop for respray)

Hey Mirage, I lived in Yeadon until a recent split with the girlfriend, I'm currently back at my mothers in Daisy Hill (near the BRI), driving a green mk1 Rivage cab, we'll have to have a meet sometime and if I ever get to any shows we can have a blast down in mini convoy ! ;D
-
Yeah mate, up for that if I ever get her somewhere near finished.
Got the car given just less than a year ago, 16 previous owners, no service history, most owners lived on Ravenscliffe and car had been off road 2 years had 2 black 13" steelies, 2 silver 13" steelies, rust in a few places, green mold interior...... the list goes on but she's starting to get there. I figured I might aswell put in the money to get her how I want since I got the base car FOC.
Regards

16 owners mostly from Ravenscliffe ! I bet that car has a tale or two to tell ;) Freebie car, can't complain, just make sure she gets back to her former glory one day ! ;D

I'm hoping that "one day" will be by the end of next week.
Had a bit of money left over from a loan sitting in my savings account so decided to go on a mission this week. Bought 90 spec kit for it, it's in for re-spray and next door is mechanic for new clutch and timing settting correctly. While it's there I've removed the interior and taken it down to MJ for a black leather/white stitch re-trim with VW logo detailing on the back of the seats. In the meantime I'm buying the ICE install and doing bits of wiring and such to renew/uprate various looms.
Should be nice even though I've only gone for exterior re-spray.

Sounds like it's going be tops when it's finished. You'll have to let me know how you get on with MJ Interiors as I could do with mine being re-carpeted at some point.
-
I'll bring it round when I get back from Luton a week tomorrow for you to have a look for yourself mate.
Picking up my ex girlfriend from university to bring her home and she lives up by you (ambleside drive). I should have the seats, bodykit, respray and gear linkage/timing setup properly by then and hopefully most of the ICE. Gonna get the door cards done at a later date when I've built custom pods.

Yeah give us a shout when you are round and about, be nice to see your motor and have a chat with someone who likes Golfs rather than the rest of the non believers that I have to put up with ! ;D
