Newbie's Rides - MK I Golf GTI & Mk II Golf GTI

[plewers]

Ok here is my project MK I Golf a friend had done the bodywork and paint, just waiting to get it back to my folks for the next stage. Should be interesting as I have never tackled anything like this before ;D










Its been painted a pearl white, plans are a slight drop, new interior. Engine wise I am so tempted to keep the original 1600 lump and be a bit different.

This is my current daily although I feel a bit guilty using her sometimes as its such a nice car.

Had a Full Respray
New Gearbox
Overhauled brakes
Vibratech Engine Mounts
New VAG 90 Spec Kit
Lowered 40 mm on Koni's & Eibach Springs
Full Supersprint System

A lot of the credit goes to its former owner who spent a fortune and replaced most things other then the engine







Thanks for looking and I know what your thinking, but no I don't have VW blinkers. I appreciate a lot of other cars and have owned Fords and J cars before.

Welcome ;D

Nice cars, keep the pics of the MK1 coming.

I can see why you feel guilty about running the MK2 as a daily - very nice!
as VWdan said, keep the MK1 pics coming. Be interested to see this fininsh and maybe it'll inspire me to keep mine.

looks gawjus! (both of them)

don't ask me why, but I always prefer the standard mk1 shape to the cabrio...even though the cabio's tend to be favored!

And you could always drop a scirocco engine in, fairly keeping with it really.
