the car has been stored for over 2 1/2 years at a garage under a sheet. The pilfering pixies who robbed my exhaust knackered the paint on everything that was stored in there along with the car itself. Ive just dropped it back at the painters and Ill get it back next weekend.
Heres another carb pic
well after 5-6 years of hunting I finally have a set of the G60 Syncro wing badges! Chris ha=s looked and a few other friend have tried but it all came down to Ebay in the end
I bought one as thats all was available- just to get the part number or make a copy, and then 2 days later a pair are up for sale. It didnt take much thinking before the button was pressed!
Heres the gearnob I made using a scanned 20 yr old sticker i found in one of my brochures. Im not sure wether to use this or the Mk4 one shown earlier
]well after years and years of searching i finally have the wing badges fitted today and they look f’ing top!
however……
I then get told that the guy I bought these off has the early pre ’87 badges too! Now i never even knew these existed, so temptation struck and Ive spent more $ on badges!
This has a chrome surround and also has an etched background like the
dash badge below
Im going for the pre ’87 look anyway as I have a grill badge like this but
with a chrome surround grill
Here are the rest of the badges to match with a GTI Engineering badge too
(took me ages to find this and then a box load have been sold on Ebay!) The
Golf badge was also hard to find new. I plan to fit the Golf and Syncro badge
as they are suppossed to be on the right side, and as I have a later rear end
with the VW roundal in the middle, Im going to fit the GTI Engineering badge
where the Volkswagen badge would have been on the early rear end.
As you can see there is differnces with the script of the Golf G60 Syncro badge
that dont match up with the old fashioned script (2 scripts were used on the
Mk2 Golf Syncro)
but I just dont know if the chrome surround badge will stick out from the
paintwork more than I wanyt it to. Ill find out soon, but I do rather like the
old fashioned badges!
Heres some better wheel pics too
