	Hi! I thought it was about time to start a build thread as ive accumulated enough parts to make it worth reading! I bought my 1989 Golf Driver 5 months ago and have loved it ever since. Here are a fewdetials: -1989 model with 90 spec wiring... Ideal for a reasonably plug & play ABF conversion! -120k with loads of history -Rare Borbet Exclusives (SH) in 8j up forn, 9j rear -FK coilovers set pretty low but not ridiculous -Very clean all round condition in and out The perfect base for something great! I have since acquired a full late spec GTi interior and some big bumpers. Here are some pics to be going on with, more interesting ones to follow Needs a clean Stupid rear wheel shot! Low Down decal!

	Nice and clean that, had a couple of mk2 GTi's meself in the past, both slammed, be rude not to Had a mk1 Fez with side exit too.. Also scared old people (and there was me thinking old people are deaf)! Like the jetta front end and the rims - look forward to seeing how n where it goes on from ere...

	I'm not sure where to take it. Id love to do the ABF conversion and I have wired the garage lighting up to do so this winter. Problem is not money for once, but time and temperature! Its a bit cold for me to work all day then spend all night on the spanners! We will see, I might just sort the very few minor bodywork issues out and make it a good honest, clean, slow and low Golf
