no way, this is another, not worth saving, has GL5 in it if you want it.

want

easy, rear as most already know are compatible with golf coilovers, job done. i however got a cheap pair of coilovers for a ford that i adapted but would have done the later had they not popped up. for the front you cut the trailing arm off the tube, slide it down and re-weld it, caution with this a...

been doing a bit of work on this, worked out an easy way to convert front struts to coilovers, the adjustment now allows me to sit the front subframe on the deck. it now sits at about 3" or so, may go more but will see how it goes first. http://22.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_kouofcfoJd1qzdapto1_500...

orsum, there is a plastic grey surround on the clocks, am i right in thinking that that pops out to pull out the clocks?

anybody had problems or know where i can look??

Thanks
Stephan

The headlights on my 85 are a bit dim, i have changed bulbs to some slightly better ones but still not that great, i was wondering if anyone can help with this or has any suggestions on how to get them working better? i have never had probs with poor lights but i'm now very envious of those nice bri...

sounds ok, they are all straight etc yeah? and no rubbers yeah?

price?

soooo so far nothing much done apart from the ICE and minor servicing, at the moment i am looking to make a set of coilovers, by using golf rears then fitting the coilover front inserts and springs to the existing setup. still have to look at what exact needs doing but getting there. also i am on th...

i have a few bits on my cars including engines that i would like to polish up, i have seen people taking heads and similar from a rough cast state to a chrome like finish. i have tried various things but either they do more harm than good or they do not much at all, also i find it hard to get right ...

that's more like it, so what exact setup are you running

i think i would even wanna bring the front down a bit more.

not any more. i bought it i did have fun in spain tho :D certainly earned it's stripes, especially being able to survive the 40+ temp in the desert!!! a couple of piks: http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m308/stephanhipwell/DSC00835-1.jpg http://i107.photobucket.com/albums/m308/stephanhipwell/DSC008...
