R32-swopped VW Golf Mk1 - Beautiful show car, clean engine install, riding on air + rollcage

This Durban mod takes a classic South African icon in the form of a Mk1 VW Golf and turns it into an R32-engined beat with a host of other modifications.
The Mk1 Golf was sold in SA right up until 2009 gaining cult classic status among regular commuters and also the tuning market. The saying goes 'There's always a Golf 1 that can beat you in a drag race'.

Super simple and clean, high-powered build. Amazing. Inspirational.

[@NeoM018]

I didn't think it was in Mzansi, I saw the pics on Instagram but thought it's one of the euro pages. Nice one, that R32 motor is tucked in beautifully in that engine bay and clean.❤🐇

I wonder why don't we have a proudly south African car manufacturer yet.

[@ozzi4627]

Because we dont have...these are builds,which is modifying ,adding to and changing what has already been manufactured.
Hope this helps.

Why is everyone using the R32 engine , it's so heavy . I wonder why they don't use the 2 liter turbo from the Audi TT

[@JuicyJLee]

Because it's not about speed. The sound of that 32 is beautiful

[@tamberined3188]
