VW Dave Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 Looking good so far, but I must admit I'm not a big fan of the wheels either - an offset that deep would make them stick out(I've owned five 1:1 Mk2 VWs). Like another poster said, however, it's your model...and have fun with it. The Fujimi kit is very simplified for sure, but the body proportions are way better than the Revellogram one.

I don't have too many choices for rims. I did not like the rims that the kit came with .I looking for other rims but don't know where to look and what to look for I'm kinda stuck now . thanks for helping me re think my wheel choice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VW Dave Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I might have a set of wheels that would work well on that Golf, and maybe I'd trade them for the kit-supplied ones....email me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalper Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 How about some nice gold and silver BBS rims from the 80's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MZ 500 Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 I had an 85 and loved the thing till the LF came off and messed up the front fender, brakes and front valance. I wish I would have fixed it now but such is life. Grate looking Model Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian ashton Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 I like it alot! Not at all knocking your build, but being into Sport Compact cars I see real cars built like this a lot - I don't understand cars built with stereo systems and air ride (show modifications) and then roll cages and performance things - the 2 don't really go togather, lol.
