My Mk1 Golf

[ross_m]

Wow your mk 1 looks like my mk 1 - except better!

I really like it, So clean and simple. Looks perfect IMO! great work

Pity about the 1.1 though...

Thanks. I thought your mk1 looked great too but you said the paint works not very good, whats wrong with it? looked good to me in the pics.

Welcome to the forum, Ross ... your MK1 looks to be in really nice condition. What part of Scotland are you from, Mate?

It's a sixfooter. Paint's a bit thin here and there, and the finish isn't great, nor's the body work. But I don't care. Still love it all the same. Just gives me an excuse to repsray it again!

I thought someone would say that haha

You sprayed it yourself? I did a few bits on mine with rattle cans. Turned out pretty good but want to learn how to spray properly. I bought a compressor etc so Im going to start practicing

Well this is the first car, (and thing too) that I've sprayed properly. I just watched a few vids, read a few things online, and had a mate that helped me out. I also did it in my garage. In 35degree heat. In about 1 week. The last three things weren't such great ideas.

Hey Ross,

Top looking Mk1 mate. Really clean and simple. I'm impressed!

[rayray086]

Welcome mate! As everyone has said, the car is MINT! Embarassing to say but the paint looks so much better than my Mk3. Take good care of it!

[GoLfMan]

thats awesome mate
nice car, very very clean!
hahaha Golf a boy racer car.... come to Aus, they dont even know what a mk1 Golf is let alone ping you for it.... $300-$500 Aussi $$$ for the insurance here!

[madglf3]

Hey mate, nice MkI. Congrats on your first car!

That's cool mate , was only pulling your leg anyway. Never seen a Meastro here, or any Austins except some really old ones. You get Capri's here, they love the olf fords, RS2000 and MK1 Mexico's etc. I am afraid to say Austins don't last long so you don't see many of them around.

Sorry to butt in but Dad and I have an Austin 1800 MkII, there are some around, you just have to go to English car shows...or were you talking about newer Austins (which I have never heard of or seen any)?

[ross_m]

Thanks again for all the compliments

thats awesome mate

Even for a new driver? If it is then thats probably less than what it would cost me when im 25!

A bit newer than that although the 1800's are nice looking cars. Heres some pics of my Dads MG Maestro Turbo since you havent seen one before:

I'll wait to be shot down in flames for saying this but that Austin MG car looks like a Nissan Pintara TRX, just a little bit more square...

Yeah they're both ugly...

[Jarred]

I can see why you picked a mk 1 as opposed to the MG/austin thingy now..
