Heres my mk1 golf.   its a 1.1 engine. Done all the work myself in my little garage, its a rattle can paint job, so not the best quality, but it covers the multiple shades of blue that it was. got some big plans for it, but not got the money at the moment. |

Wow! Reminds me very much of mine which started off shades of blue and went matt black as well, even shares the offset plate!   Good luck with it, they're great cars, I regret selling mine. Had it lowered with a 1.3 lump and it may not have been fast but handled like nothing else! |

It looks like a good base to start with, don't let it go! I had no budget when i had mine (82 3 door with a 1300) and it annoyed the hell out of me, i had big plans that i couldnt do, i really should have just enjoyed the car.

 Welcome!  Have you done any other mods apart from the paintwork?

hi again. thought i'd update you all on my golf.  this is how it sits in the garage now.  some little bits have been taken off.  I'm having trouble deciding on an engine for it now. I'm gonna concentrate on the bodywork and interior while i think about engines. the strip down has come about because of this  i surprised quite a few of my mates with this! they thought i'd be keeping it old skool VAG. maybe an old audi estate when i told them i was getting a new car. but this is my work car. meaning the golf can be stripped! any ideas with engines would be great! cheers |
