Fantastic, i love posts like this :cool: Keep it up and keep us posted :cool:

By the way, maybe i missed something, but why are you changing the dash?

The dash was all dull and scratched, TBH we probably could of got away with leaving it in but we wanted to try a bit of everything in the project.  I moved it to the other side of the unit and theres something rattling about behind the dash LOL so its gonna have to come out again aahh the fun.

I dont think I posted this but, the sil's and passenger side rear arch are rotten, so we had replacements donated by PPMotorsport (Pete is a good friend and also a member on our site).  So we are going to attempt to weld the replacements.

The wheels are going to be refurbed, both the originals and the 17s.

I will keep you all upto date as and when I get more piccys of the work.

I forgot to add the following.





This is the work we carried out last night, pictures are from my phone so are a little dark lol.

But we just secured the lights and bonnet onto the golf to see what it would look like.

Friday was another good day.

Link to Album

http://www.ne-cruisers.co.uk/forum/index.p...um&album=38

Removal of the golf slam panel and radiator



Removing the vento bumper, slam panel and radiator.



Slam Panel, Radiator and lights in place.





We tried to keep the original front bumper but for some reason it wouldnt fit correctly.





So we ended up adding the Vento bumper.





We also got the wings from the black golf and fitted them to the green golf.

Sorry matey, the wheels are going to be refurbed and either sold or used as a backup set.

Why not stick this in the project section or the Dub Rides section, then it'd be easier to find.

Looks like a fun project. Keep up the good work.
