MK1 Tuned from Spain
« on: 15 November 2010, 12:35 »
Hi, here I am again to show you my golf mk1 GTI from 1981 that has been upgraded to be funner and i like to much how the project is going and I hope you like it too.

When I bought it, it doesn't seem in really good condition, it had a lot of damages in the outside panels and it need to be repainted so I take advantage of it and change the color of the car of other one to have a more exclusive car.

This is it when i bought it:

at first I started with the bodywork while the motor was been littlely upgraded.

The colour i chose was from the fiat catalogue and i selected this one because i had it on the first car I drove and i loved that colour, and the car looks like this:

Then I try to install the brake calipers and the problems started because i need 25mm separators because the rim touch the caliper, it shouldn't be a problem if the wheel doesn't touch the fender... so then i had to increase the width of the car.
