how bout people stop giving him stick?

good on you mate and good luck with the golf, 17 and making a tidy dub is always a good thing - could be out in french tin boxes, halfrauds uni fit wheels and acres of fibreglass.....

Its only a bit of banter, joe can take it

Shadys just jealous because his 1.8 GL can't go above 35mph with a fooked engine

Actually it does manage 40mph.

I love this forum. So many people under-estimate the power of the 1.6 mpi

I had a straight line drag race with a Saxo VTR on friday night, cained his arse up to 60-65mph and then he came past me. We got to about 80ish then had to brake for the roundabout.

Aren't you just the best.

ANYWAY IT MOTHER f**kING WORKS! 

Half an hour lining it all up again, then getting confused because some mechanic who looked at it before didn't mark the leads  So worked back from TDC and took a guess at the usual 1-3-4-2 and when I say first turn, the starter must of turned the engine half turn maybe, and it ROARED into life (manifold isn't really on at all) scared the sh!te out of me! I thought something went bang. 

It's running on all four and idle is smooth which is surprising as there is no airbox or breathers connected. Sprayed oil over my lovely clean bay too. 

SOOO tomorrow it's stay late at work again (we finish at 4:30  ) and put all the water flanges and pipes all on, bleed it and then attempt to get it on the ramps and put the exhaust back on it, rip the backbox off and put my coilies on.

Oh and I got my bonnet properly on, Joe, how did you get rid of your Vento front, with the early grill it looks amazing! Got to rub down and prime the bonnet, two new wings and the lower grill and the dent in the bootlid and it'll be pretty minto.

you not passed your test yet then?... you remind me of me!.... i was trying to do up a car before i could drive, spent a fortune on it but i had to move house and had nowhere to keep it, i had to sell it... was gutted years later when i realised some of the bits that were already on it were rare and were worth good cash.

I fixed it, then I spent loads of money doing it up it. Then when I turned 18 I passed my driving test, bought a Mk3 Golf and spent all my time driving around so the Mk1 got abandoned. I then put it back to standard and sold it to Shepgti
