Is it really worth all that hard work, effort, money and stress?

^ you're thinking of the Golf Country

[Slimmedmk2]

There was a red mk1 Golf N converted a couple of years back...was featured in VW Motoring Magazine, the bloke done it himself and it kept the standard bodywork  :shocked: 

Oh yeah,Ben Leachs one,forgot about that

[Agreeable Slick]

didn't it get done obn a mk2? and didn't it toally change the look of a car... it was like it was cross bred with a monster truck!? (or am i being silly and just seen a pic of a landrover?)

That would be a golf country love, like toph said. That is a full 4x4 system including suspension, i believe he is thinking getting it running 4wd like a quattro.

Its been done to a mk1 i think,the Dubweiser mk1 with the 20v audi lump in with the huge arches

That is Dubweisers twin engined mk1. Two 20v audi lumps in there, 4wd, and sub 9second qtrs.

Just do it! you know u want to! That car has been in the lock up for long enough anyway so u might aswell do it with that one!

[DubFan]

Go for it, I'd love to do that sort of project if I had the money and skills.

The red mk1 Golf N featured in VW Motoring Magazine had the 4wd system from a Mk2 Syncro and had to chop the floor pan of the Mk1 to get the prop-shaft to the rear.
I think it was running 300bhp or something, and looked just superb, completely stock, not even bling alloys.

yeah i think i will go for it and i definately agree with slick, and not go for a deadline,  i wonder what engine i should go for i dont wanna do a 20VT and i cant afford to do any modern engines, i was thinkin a mk3,2.0l 16v turbo with all the tricks, should be able to push 400bhp outta one of them.

pm hardcore or see his hread about the 2.8 vr6 engine he has for sale. Its quite something, come out of a show car, has had quite a few mods and is forsale! might be worth a play if your serious about it. Will be able to flog a few horses out of a lump like that - if u can get it in!

oh dear s.. silly me.. but im not all lipgloss as some people think... (i read vw mags in borders with the blokes )

[RYoungMK1GTI]
