GOLF G60

[Tufty]

Its been a while since i last updated this thread as not much has really happened to the car recently. The 4.2 V8 Audi never appeared that deal fell thru so for now
i will just stick with my trusty big diesel A8.

Any how here is some recent pictures of how my build is coming on.





I picked myself up some 17 inch Comps..



As i plan to be running 400 + BHP i needed something to help me stop so i treated myself to some 6 pots.





So on Saturday we got stuck into removing all underseal as im not that happy with how the underside was looking so the plan is to redo the whole under side and
paint it the same colour as the car.

Great work, 17" comps will look awesome on it.

What engine is in the green MK1?

 

[Tufty]

The Comps really work well with the car im surprised how well it looks.

Its a 1.9 130bhp in the Mk1..

 

[richie_mck]

Removing underseal / seam sealer is a hateful job. They should make criminals in prison remove it and they would soon change their ways.

Some more pics of how the build is coming on.





An other picture of the Calipers to show the size of them..

What's the black you've painted on the inside @Tufty ?

 

[Tufty]

@weeloaney it's a black satin sealer just to tidy things up on the inside.

Good to see that she wasn't forgotten, loving the brakes!

You're one to talk, Monsieur.

 

[Tufty]

So abit more progress has been made recently tho it looks like I've took 3 steps backwards instead of forward..

 

[natogreen16v]

Very large exhaust tunnel there Chris

 

[Tufty]

I need a little extra room for my 3.5 inch exhaust young Connor..

Some effort going into this! Looking forward to the finished result

 

[Tufty]

@svensktoppen thanks a lot.. I can't wait to get it finished I really wish it was this summer so I could enjoy it but it's looking like it's going to be winter before it's done.

 

[sam_9n]

Looks ace! Going to be a few rapid VW's about next year! This'll sound awesome

 

[Tufty]

@sam_9n your wee polo won't hang about either really looking forward to seeing it finished.

 

[Big Pimp]

Hurry up @Tufty - we need to see this on the road again!

 

[jessy]

Looked through entire thread, brilliant effort and work, look forward to seeing final result.

Excellent build those comps are one of the best wheels on a mk2! How are you fixing the calipers, I take it you need custom brackets?

 

[Tufty]

@johna3 sorry for the late reply. I'm getting custom brackets made for both front and rear calipers. The only disadvantage of the comps is that they hide my brakes lol.

 

[Tufty]

Some recent work carried out by my good mate Dave as I've been out of action for awhile..





Then we sized up some disc to suit the caliper's



That's all for now..

 

[Mr.Mint]

Class!

I must give Rick a shout myself, I need a set of brackets made for the Wilwoods and a few other odds and sods sorted.
