just starting a thread now its a little late in the game but i kept photos from start to finish,
mk1 2dr shell i got for 200
it came with not much and a rusty window and sill a little ding in the rear.
otherwise great.
I planed for a full respray and a 16v conversion but i needed an engagement ring more than a car so i sold the engine on and waited till i had the money to look for something else.
along it came a nice looking green mk1 with sc14 supercharger on it, i know it has been on here before and it was advertised here.
I bought it late last year and got stuck right into it,
the people you meet along the way makes it all the more fun and interesting like the hard working chapy i bought it from who worked at begga cheese
his work mates were on the same plane as me and i got a lift to their workplace where i sat in reception for half hour till we went to check out the car. one test drive later and a few cobwebs blown off i was heading on a trip 5h north to sydney... ye haa i now met a ton of friends on the road.... all cops haha why are you driving with no number plates ??? it was like they had never heard of a moving rego oh gosh. the 2 guys i bought the rolling shell of nearly 1.5 years ago ended up buying the 16v so it was great to see them again too!!
also the 2 tow truck men who carted off the old 4dr green shell were italian and the italains are into things like ferraris so they were very interested actauly couldnt believe what they were looking at in the garage when i showed them the vw golf..... oh no poms italians aussies are their enough golfs around for when the asians and greeks catch on lol ok here is some photos....
