starting from the beginning, MK1

[Lemon]

Hey everyone

glad to finally have a golf, been eying them off for a while and late on saturday at work (adelaide SAAB) a tow truck pulled up with a little yellow MK1 on the back, before it had even pulled up i asked my boss whats that here for, its mine,

its a car he bought for his daughter to drive around in but she dosnt want it (brat) so i bought it.
4 door diesel one owner beast

so i will be slowly restoring it and it will take over daily dutys so i can work on my other car.
looking for good slight nuts wheels to go on it allong with lots of little bits im sure.

Nice score there.

The brat deserved better. I hope she gets an Excel.

Welcome.

lovely car,really like the early dash and interior

[Lemon]

What's a gti duckbill worth in good condition? The little one on it is messed up

[killingwithasmile]

Nice score!! Interior looks great!! Crack free dash?

[Lemon]

The dash is cracked on the top but the rest of the interior is realy nice.
The odometer said just over 100,000km but I just can't believe it cos that would be too cool. Engine runs well no oil leaks or anything.
Just got to get some decent light from the headlights, I'm used to 6000k HIDs with projectors so, yeah.... Best options for mass light preferably white not yellow?

Also this might be stupid but,
How I pm a member? I get to their profile page bit can't work it out?
I'm on my iPhone if that's makes a difference?

1. Yes you can. VERY hard to find. I have a couple of new GLS bills if interested.
2. Yes. From Mk1 Autohaus. Not cheap. I got one a couple of years ago..

I might have some Ronal R10's in 7x15 for it.They were also referred to as the Turbo wheel and look like your avatar photo except with no 'Ronal' or 'Turbo' written on the face.

I have a pair of plastic bumpers in almost new condition (read 2 months use) but the front one has a small crack that needs plastic welding (you need to have special brackets to mount them and mine did not and flapped a bit)

I have a full 5 door interior, GTI but in black and red stripes.

All this is the FS thread, search my name.
