Morning all,
I know I have posted a build thread and some photos before but I was annoying myself and prob other people by changing my plans all the time.
I don't want to give too much away as I am constantly changing my mind on things and I think its annoying when I do that. :dontknow: I will tell you though that I will be converting to a heron motor. I would love to turbo it but I don't know if that will happen yet or not.
Anyway, shes a 1977 Golf 1 GLS Automatic. Up until last year, she was owned since new by an older gent . It was then sold to a golf nut (Ed C) near him in Hobart (Tasmania), then once again it was up for sale. Unfortunately I could not buy it at that time but my good friend Dom did, he has many a mk1 including one with a VR6 conversion thats about half way done.
He was nice enough to offer it to me first when he decided to sell it as he knew I missed out on the car the first time. My finace, as beautiful and nice as a girl can be, went out of her way to speak to Dom behind my back and buy the car for me!
Anyway, after much loving feelings later, I flew down to Tasmania and picked it up.
This is the first time I saw her... With Dom driving and smiling like a complete muppet.
And some other photos from the trip to Tasmania...
Meeting up with Benny and his very nice 8v Mk2
The morning after the night before...
Dom trying to 'borrow' some internet to print my tickets for the ship back to the mainland
