1990 volkswagen golf pg4 wheels and seats

[kevh]

well hello
have been lurken on here for the last 2 years but its only now ive decided to put up my car and story

I'm 15 and last xmas my dad got me a lovely 1990 vw golf



as you can see shes a 3door in calsypo green
has a 1.3 petrol lump

now the bad bits








anyway since ive gotten the car ive spent most of my time sorting out the rust issues and ive smoothed out the areial hole on the wing

the wing before


the wing in filler primer



I sorted the rust and primed the car where the rust was







paint skills are all mine by the way ;D ;D ;D

also painted my badges black






and custom painted my ulgy flat steels





and gave the interior a good clean as it was filty and full of water when I got the car






and some of those nessary scence shots that no dub is without





I love that shot up there that was the first thing I did to the car when it was delivered to my house

one more ;D



rubix cube

anyway the plans for it are

get it resprayed
get new wheels(nice wide ones)
slam it on its
get either a gti or a gtd interior
get a jetta front
keepin the small bumpers
16v rear lights

and further down the line either a polo GT lump on bike carbs
or a polo G40 lump

I'm 15 and progress is gonna be slow so this is gonna take a while

Nice work. Keep at it buddy - I guess the plan is to have it ready for when you hit the roads.

[nconst]

nice work dude , slammed on some porsche teledials would look epic i love calypso green and imo is one of the best colours on a golf so please don't change the colour lol

[kevh]

Good work, it looks like a good, straight car.

Be careful about modifying too much, you may find it uninsurable - which would be annoying!

Good luck

Go outside NOW and get some temporary top coat over those primered areas.

Primer is porous, so if you don't put a top coat on, moisture WILL get through the primer back down to the metal and start rusting again.

Nice one I bought my first car when I was 15 (or 14? can't remember!) and by the time I was learning to drive I had a cool little (pretty much uninsurable) runaround Was a great way to learn the tricks of the trade.

I may be acquiring a mk2 golf soon, whether or not it'll be a keeper I don't know! Looks like you're going to have your work cut out with that one, good luck!

i finaly found this thread

ok so in the last nearly three months ive done quite abit to the old girl

ive debadged the back end (because i stupidly broke both badges yeah not one but both )

i also primed the bonnet tailgate doors and rear quater panals
i know on screen it doesnt seem like much but trust me it was alot of hard work and a lot of waiting ok so here are what your waiting for all the pics in the glory showing the epice work all carried out but my own hands
















and yes the back bumper is on the car thats because i broke the rachet i was using with three of the bolts off

anyway thats about it all ihave to do is find a colour i want to paint it as i cant deside weater to keep it calyspo green or do a colour change

Are you painting it yourself? If you are and it's your first attempt I'd suggest a solid colour rather than a metallic to keep things simple. You won't have to fart about with clear coats.

Excellent progress though. It kind of makes me wish I'd kept my Calypso Green 1.6 Driver.

I still think the MKII Golf is about the best looking hatchback ever.

[kevh]

wow that looks like a realy clean straight golf and i have to agree with you the mk2 is one of the best looking hachbacks but is closly followed by the reno 5 imo

I'm not sure what I'm gonna to about the paint
at first iwas gonna keep it calyspo green but a few weeks ago i started to think of doin a colour change to a colour called tiriben blue (i think thats how you spell it) well its on the site monstercolors.com but its like ford oylimpic blue but it has a matt finish but since ive started+thinking+about+it+i+seem+to+be+surrounded+by+images+of+mint+calyspo+green+examples+and+that+pic+up+there+doesnt+help++

i+just+don't+know+wat+to+dooo++

[Jolfa]

Good work! For the sake of half an hour though you could really have taken the windows out
