Golf MK2 Syncro build

[Wompa]

Hi mates!

I will just show you some pictures off my beloved Golf before and right now.

The thing is that I need her done before the winter comes…

A respray and a repair is on the schedual.

I think I need to change the rear wheel bearing, because I can hear a large brumming noice when I drive around.

Okey, over to the pictures!

The seats that are going in.

Corrado antenna and Polo OpenAir canvas roof.

Rust… rust!

But now I know where the water comes from! I did get alot of water on my foots when it rained and I couldnt figure out where it came from

A black trunk carpet and a crackfree wind shield.

The grill and lights I bought for 20quid!

Rust repair… 3M car glue and stainless rivets.

Thats all for now… I have vacation now, and one week I will be completly free. So I will have the car redy for paint!

[Wompa]

And I got a complete Corrado dash that will enter the car… well see when []

Here is some updates!

I got this thing in my golf.. strange, I have never seen it before!
Its for the rear foot wells.

In your first photo, what are the ‘ears’ at the side(s) of the rear screen?

[Wompa]

It some kind of wing that leads air on the rear window and keeps it clean… thats what I thought..

About the Corrado dash, I will scrap that idea and go for a hard plastic dash for a Golf.

The wheels have been choosen.

G60 Steelies for the winter and G60 aluminium wheels for the summer… thats the idea.
But I do think that the steelies are better looking so I may just use my 13” std steelies in winter and the 15” g60 steelies for the summer

[Wompa]

Im going to get some parts painted in epoxy next week… Im doing everthing by myself so we will see the results!

Got some nasty rust problems… still waiting for my esab parts so I can start welding it together again.

[Wompa]

Still looking to get some stuff epoxyd… Have no energy to do this but I has to be done.

The main issues is the amount off work :S

[Wompa]

Done alot of sanding on my spare time.. It takes longer than I initially thought.

Got this today, soon the epoxy primer will be sprayed and after that more sanding…
