things to do before edition 38

sort out ignition module

rad fan

find a n/s headlight

detail

fit rear seats

and decide on grill
2 light badged
2 light debadged
4 light badged eyebrow


well tell me what you think and enjoy because i know i am

I broke a sweat just reading about the effort. Looks great, miss my old golf

it has been alot of work and had alot of help from c.k and bluefox and couple of lads of the farm lucky enough i have had the time of work to do it

Tidy mate. Big fan of the mk2 golfs, keep it simple and original, pressed plates wud look tidy or even retro plates

nice projectn , definatly 2 light debadged grill matey

i like the look of the 2 light debadged but the moodyness of the brow on the 4 light is just a killer decision

nice project george i'd agree with crab and go for the 2 light debadged

when i find another headlight i will try all 3 grills on and take pics and you can tell me what you think <!-- s:wink: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_e_wink.gif" alt="" title="Wink" /><!-- s:wink: -->
