Aye mate, pretty much the same craic like, get it all clean and get it zinc primed and painted up.

Only found a small hole at the moment like so im suitably impressed…..the arch liners were holding a massive amount of mud haha!

Aye MK1 has been “done” for a while now, it needs a few bits still as they always do but I’ve done about 2000 miles in it since I finished the conversion, hasn’t skipped a beat tbh

Arch liners hold loads of mud the fronts are terrible that's what causes the sills to rot at the front.

Good to hear you mk1 is running well, I'm still having the mapping fine tuned. I still not driven mine yet but it is pretty much together.
Look foward to your progress, I'm starting on my inner arches and suspension later this month.

Cheers mate, aye I can just start to see the fronts starting to go under the bottom of the wing at the sill so gonna get the wings off n all and sort that before it gets too bad!

Aye it’s running sweet as a nut, it’s a shade over 200 brake and tbh I dunno if I’d want it any quicker than it is 😂 be good to see some pics of yours like - here’s a couple how mine stands now

Mk1 looks great, that's a tidy engine install as well. AGU engine ?

 I also  have also have recaros in mine. What brackets did you use to fit the recaros?I have scirocco subframes but they are binding making the seats very difficult to move forwards or back.

I'll put some photos up   of my mk1 on my Edition 30 thread. Mine was   around  260 bhp on the rollers and I have got a diff in it.

My sills sound exactly the same, rusting under the wings, like you wings need to come off see how bad it is.

Cheers mate, aye a wanted to make the install as tidy as I could for doing it myself, I wanted it to look like it was meant to be there all along!

Nice, will have a look at them when you post them, 260 sounds mental tbh 😂

For the seats, I made my own mounts, basically got an old set of runners and adapted them to fit the bottom of the recaros and then put the pin in it at the front.










Feel like I’m starting all over again with the MK5 😂 let’s just say it has escalated from a “rear subframe refresh” haha
