Sometimes, like many other members on here you just browse eBay classic cars and see what is thrown up locally. Another thing I do is put a bid on something instead of just watching safe in the knowledge it is worth loads more and you have no chance of winning. Well I cant even blame it on being drunk as I have been advised not to drink for a while after my pancreatitis but I did win this.
Now the last thing I need as the weather is getting colder is another project on the drive. I suppose my reasoning was that if it is total junk I could remove the engine to rebuild for my Passat over the winter and recoup some cash from parts. To put it in perspective it was not a lot of money for a MK1 Golf but it was nearly 50 miles away so used Shiply to get it home which cost an extra £65.
I think I have a mild obsession with Inari Silver, I love the colour and had this been red or blue I would not have placed a bid. It has been off the road since 2000 but the previous owner has apparently sorted out the brakes and got the engine running but there is still a fair bit to do. I have had a quick look round when it arrived and it is very solid. It will need a little bit of welding but as its a bit ratty I will have a bash at it myself. Plans are to just aquire an MoT, slam on cheap coilovers then fit my Teledials.
