**MK1 Golf

Here is a old kit from me that i finnally decided to finish.
It is an old kit from Tamiya (1978 production).
Nothing much to say about this car, I dont particularly like
the way it turned out. :bloated:

mods:
-changed the drivers seat
-added skirts
-euro tails for a more "new" look
-decal placement changed to suit my tastes


comments welcome as usual.

Nice!!
how about bigger wheels?

dont tell me that yur going to make it a lowrider

Nice job!!! I'm a big fan of the early Golfs and what they represented to the development of the hot hatch market - looks like a great little race-bred model :p. For me, it could do with a bigger set of period wheels (new-style 18in chrome jobbies could look strange :bloated:). The profile of the tyres looks right, but the overall size just looks a bit out of whack compared to the wheel-arch flares etc.

Not sure if I like the euro-style tail lights - the new seat is groovy, but the tail lights look a bit too far out of period.

I'd be ecstatic if anything of mine would turn out like that!!!!!

Stubacca, you miss OZ man :P

Hey, that Golf is nice! Keep the wheels!
Did you mean the actual kit is from 1979, or the car make itself
?

i meant that this kit is from 1979...that is how old the kit has been sitting around.

Even if it's an old kit, you did a great job on it. Top notch :D

I would put bigger rims too. Try it and it will completely change the car. Believe me.

Deedlit

I think the rims will stay the way they are for now, unless there are suggestions to what kind i should put on? :D

I dig it just the way it is! I prefer a smaller diameter on classic Golfs:cool: :bandit:

Nice

I like the body colour. Nice job dude!

The big style for those old golf's are the small wheels, remember these aren't civics (Most people that drive V-Dubz Have some taste):D

that is hot!!!

you just dont put 17s or 18s on MK1s. Some wide 15's are whats needed on those cars for the best look.

I love that model the way it is. dont change a thing! I sure wish I could find that model to build!
