So after a long few afternoons in the garage after work, all the wrap I'd finally off.. Needless to say the golf needed a good was and polish after the vinyl was removed! Gave her a wash!!



Iv been fighting a few electrical gremlins and after taking her for a beach run my flasher unit died two streets away from home. But managed to get couple sneaky photos in my estate

So tempted to paint mine blue.

So I havnt posted for a while but had a few dramas with electrical gremlins. Drove a whopping 470ks in a year haha. Car is back on stands. Rego has run out so I thought while its out I should get some things done on it that I've been wanting to do for a while! Will try and keep this updated more often if people want to see progress.
Hopefully have it back on the road buy early next year.......

In the long run yes it'll get a drivetrain swap but for now I'm enjoying the nostalgia of it it's reliable and fun for now. But yes motor swap is planned

I'm going to hold you to your quote from 6 months ago.

Needs more oomph.

Any more progress in that gorgeous mk1??
Let me know when you want to sell it too��

Did I see a post somewhere asking about putting a late model GTI engine into a MK1?

Was the post made by someone with a light blue MK1?

Hmmmmmmmm..................

X2 for tsi 2.0 in a mk1. The purists would kill you but it wouldn't be the first haha

Hard, you need either the full loom and computer which you will then delete bits making sure it doesn't get failures that put it in to limp, or a very expensive computer, Syvecs make a plug and play, about $4.5k, but it will cost a couple of grand to set up... none of this is for the faint hearted! (And is why I will be using the lower tech 20vT)

And why I'm going ABF with twin 40's.

OK, that's my fix, I'm good to go another year without seeing my favorite MK1.
