Haven't updated this in a while! Went to Cyprus, dug the Escort out of storage, fitted my new smoked rear lights and went for a drive, even with 6 months of dust on her she still looked good parked up After a quick clean, still need to find someone with a buffer to get the paintwork done, but not too bad for painting in a shed. Fitted new indicators and removed the spotlights. Also gave her a service and a group a coil, and fitted my prosport oil temp, pressure and boost gauges. Peak recall and warning is a handy touch. Offered my calipers and discs up to the wheel, 2mm of clearance, glad I don't have standard wheels now! Couldn't fit them as it was getting towards the end of the holiday and more pressing issues came to hand, like fixing the bodged fuel pump relay wiring and rewiring the central locking and electric windows wiring which was attacked by a mouse. Also fitted my airtec alloy rad, after which temps never went near 1/2 even in 40 degree heat. Then I just enjoyed her for the last few days, took it around both coasts and to Kantara castle before parking her up and leaving her for next year.

Some new seats for the mk1, Recaro half leathers, as you can see, not in the best of nick. After a good hide feed. Stripped And after a whole lot of work, stripped, sanded, filled and painted. Ready for my bum! Also modded the head for the S2 to allow for the EFi manifold to be bolted up.

Got the S1 GTI tartan cloth for the Recaros, just need to go to the trimmers now! Also made my boost gauge holder along with a charge temp gauge Finally got round to painting my electric mirrors, happy with how they came out should look decent after flatting back and polishing.

Great thread. The golf looks a mammoth task!!! Where did you get the charge temp gauges from if you don't mind me asking?

Love a mk1 GTI! Especially in red Cracking car! I have an engine out of a late mk1 GTI which I'll fit in my mk1 Passat, but first I need to figure out which bits of the k-jet I'm missing... :\
