got the golf back today... ADDED CAGE PIC
« on: 21 November 2010, 13:02 »
hi guys!

Well after 3 long months of waiting, as the body and fabricator took a while getting round to doing the job i have finally got her back! And i have never been so pleased! Don't get me wrong the car still looks pretty nakered but i can see the potential behind this project now! And I feel more and more confident that it's going to work!

Just a quick run through of what has been done
1. Full structural roll cage
2. Arch work on the car
3. Rear diffuser
4. Rear un-necessary parts removed
5. Rear tyre well removed and replaced with plate
6. Bonnet pins added to carbon bonnet

Tbh i dont know why im posting these photos are they are pretty sh.i.t but i just wanted to share! I am going to take some proper photos with the camera this week.

Next on the list carbon bonnet, all the body work sorted including full respray, suspension, engine conversion then maybe...... just maybe i might be able to get her on a track next year :)

I know some people will hate what im doing with the car as it's not "scene", and some people will dislike some of the ideas! But marmite ideas to me are always the best!

Anyway guys feedback much appreciated! Once again terrible photos but hopefully you can see how good she looks!

Lol Come on mate do you really think that fillers staying :-P , we were just playing around with how it could look but I want to keep the seam visible so the fillers going!

Thanks tech yeah not half the bumper, half the car lol! I love the diffuser some won't but to me its track as f.u.c.k lol .

Cheers rnp yeah engines there are a few I'm thinking of! The car will be getting painted once I've sourced more carbon! The fabricator had it for a while as I was in no rush to get it back so he did a couple of days on it every week
