Siena:

Thanks bud, I'm glad you're inspired by these little projects.

Lol, the man says 'little'

I do have in mind to embark on a project but am looking at a Classic!!! may be an 70's or 80's model probably a Ford or Volkswagen


A person that know of recently finished putting together a Ford Cobra though after nearly 18 months,

Cool

Actually am looking a MK1 Golf something similar to picture below

this MK1, owned by Robert Jan from the Netherlands. Kevin already posted this orange Mk1, and although this yellow one looks similar from the outside, there are a lot of differences. I think that the focus on these particular Mk1s is all about clean style and not so much on crazy performance,  of course there are exceptions, and I do plan to give you guys a taste of both worlds over the course of the month.
The car is 26 years old, so when Robert Jan bought it, he immediately took it apart and started a ground-up restoration. I've noticed that when builders in this scene choose a new color for their car they often choose an original VW color. It seems that inside the VW community, they never stray far from the factory originals! In the end, it was decided that car would be changed from red to yellow and it's an original color -- used on the MK1 in 1976 and called ‘raid gelb'.

The stance is perfect thanks to an FK Automotive coil over suspension system. The Porsche wheels are a favorite amongst the MK1 community. This time, Robert chose the S4 version in 7j on the front and 8j in the rear. The tires are made by Dunlop and come in size 195/40/16.
Other parts that adorn the exterior are the chrome steel bumpers with the original rubber strips. The decorative strips on the car have all been chromed together with the mirrors.

The original engine has been replaced with a more powerful one. It's a 1.8 liter 16v from an Scirocco that is mated to a 5-speed transmission from the same car.

Inside the car we find this brown interior from an '76 MK1 with integrated headsupports. The dashboard came from an '82 Golf. The steering wheel is an OEM item called the Spucknapf. I think that a cool wooden Nardi steering wheel might look better --what do you guys think?


Thats from a dutch bloke am not keen on the Yellow and front grill has to have the twin lights and If a Scirocco engine could fit, would a Corrado Engine fit? (2.9 Ltr VR6 or am I pushing my luck)

@Siena

I posted this topic on nairaland yesterday for you to see. Below is the post;

That Golf is low looks like its using a sports lowering kit with Springs between 33-39mm, i had one on my Audi 90, biggest mistake of my life! Fantastic on the motorway but that's it, within town it was a nightmare, but when I had the 80 Sport I had the 45mm Sport springs

Got two words for you, 'Mark Evans'

Hey Siena, good luck with your build! What are your plans with the car? Wheel-to-wheel racing or autocrossing? Are you going to cage it since you've already stripped it?

Hi Siena, I really am looking forward to seeing how this pans out. Forgive me but can you elaborate on the radiator in the trunk business. Would the fans go into the trunk as well? Also, how will the hoses be fitted? Running from the trunk to the front? Can you give spend a little time so I just understand how this works please.
