TAS G'day!

[Henri]

Hey everyone I'm new to the forum but have been lurking around here for a while learning about and admiring all the cars on here! I hoping to get my license in the next few weeks, yeah I'm a slack 18 year old however I've always loved cars and over the past year or so I've developed a keen interest in Golf Mk1s. I'm looking to get one for a big summer project and by the end I should have my dream car!! A GTI would be nice but is unlikely I'll find one cheap enough and will probably just end up just putting a new engine in a GL or something. Might put up a new wanted to buy thread or something. Mk1s are hard to find especially in Tassie so hopefully I'll get lucky.

Anyway, great to be part of the forum and look forward to learning much more!

Cheers, Hendrik.

welcome mate, it is an addiction, i have had my mk1 for only 3 months but i still cant help but look back over my shoulder at it as i walk away from it. u just missed out on a nice 2door that was for sale from another member on here in TAS. i am sure u will find one.

welcome mate! yeah mk1's are sick, tho i just sold mine.
If you want a truely wicked mk1, Antdragonist (Dom) has a sick example for sale (link can be found here).
Yeah mk1's are pretty rare on the road, always get a wave when you see another!

[Henri]

yeah that mk1 is amazing! so many mods on that thing... however i'm kinda looking for something that i can work on myself, plus i can't afford that either
yeah haha i look forward to the wave, my dad used to always get that in his cooper s

thanks for the warm welcome guys. great forum!

[Henri]

SpeciP3 did you by any chance own the mk1 on montagu? pretty sure its the one you just sold, the swallowtail i used to admire everyday haha, i live pretty much around the corner. was good to see that you sold it to a local buyer

Hi Hennie and welcome,

If you're interested I have a Mk1 4 door in need of work (in Glenorchy), bad points are it does have a little rust in places (in passenger and drivers foot wells) and at the base of the front windscreen (this is why the foot wells are in need of attention).
The bonus is it has a MK2 1800 motor with a 2 barrel DGV Weber carburettor.

I was going to use it as a parts car for my Mk1 but now have a Mk3 2L motor and 5spd so don't need this car, send me a message if you want to look at it.
