I have just come across this Mk1 Golf on E38 and it is, in my eyes, the perfect mk1 golf. My favourite Mk1 has always been Danny allens but this, to me, is right up there! Enjoy     All home built and everything full build thread www.edition38.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=79659&st=1020 <There. |

The blue one is my favourite though its just perfect that he has- its been laid up for a while as he's also done a caddy van and audi s8 which is just killer, the mk1 getting love again now with a 20vt conversion |

BBS Wheels - Check
Lowered - Check
Single headlight grille - Check
Crosshairs - Check.
I'm sure it's a repeat, I didn't realise the BBC were into modifying cars?

BBS Wheels perfectly sitting in arches - Check Lowered to perfection- Check Single headlight grille because it looks cool - Check Crosshairs because they look cool- Check. I'm sure it's a repeat, I didn't realise the BBC were into modifying cars? Who cares if it's formulaic. If you can't see what's special about that car you should have gone to specsavers. |

I did exactly the same as Soopahfly until I saw under the bonnet, it really highlights the work involved when the exterior of it could, at a casual look, be any other modified dubscene Mk1 Golf. It might be formulaic, but it's done to an exceptional standard.

Surely if something has gone down a well trodden road and still manages to drop jaws, that makes the car even more special?

It's not blinkered, it's all I see every day. In fact there was about 3 carbon copies in the pub carpark yesterday. At least that black one on air has decided to go a different route with the wheels, and looks better for it. What's so special about under the bonnet? It's clean. Big whoop, wanna fight about it? I feel the whole vw scene has stagnated. And that's just really sad. |

I'm not really that bothered with what make the wheels are they look cool and are a change from the usual RS/RM that you do see a lot of. I love the way the car sits and the work that has gone into making the car sit like that. The paintwork is absolutely spot on as is the engine bay, It is clean but not too over the top like you see alot of in the VW scene these days.
But not every one is into the same things are they

Did anybody get a snap of the Mars Red mk1 on teledials at Wheels Day? I thought it was lovely and seemed to be a father/son project (which seems to always add a certain dynamic to a build).

And that's just really sad. since when has everyone run bbs mahle 3 piece??? they are rare as so they cant! people who cant tell the difference between whats been done to these lovely little cars are the people who will never get it. why do people never moan about minis on minilites etc? its all about being able to spot all the subtle mods that most would never spot |

Same as people complain about nearly all modified minis run Sportspack. The first one ever to be modified by numbers will be the one that is perfection. The one every other tries to copy. Sure, there may be subtle differences but the essence is the same. |

I know exactly where you are coming from soopahfly and agree that the majority of the cars in the VW scene are all the same. But this is not what this thread is about. Its about a car that I think is very cool and would be good to share with you kind retrorides people!
