Hi AllJoined a few years back and still looking for a good MK1 GTi at a cheapish price!.so i can join up fully!..don't mind a semi project but needs to be complete and as original as possible, and preferably running with some history….mars red with original red seats is my prefered colour , and a saloon, but will consider a convertible depending on spec etc Running a completely original and unmodifed black MK4 R32 at the moment,which has 203,000 miles on the clock!! YES 203 thousand miles!! and have had lots of golfs inbetween inc a 1982 MK1 1.1 formel E, a 1982 1.6 MK1 GTi,a 1983 1.8 MK1 GTi and my last MK1 was a 1980 GLi cabriolet!…so had a few!
Hope someone can help

Thanks
just waiting for a sensibly priced original car to turn up here as the ones on ebay are crazy prices, it will have to be a rolling project as the garage is taken up by my 56 beetle project!

I'll have an '82 1.8 GTI in white up soon-ish. It's not finished yet, I reckon circa mid-end September.
It's high miles @ 270k but most things have been replaced/refurbished. The engine has 145bhp and is very nippy, AP racing coilovers all round and it's not too crashy, plus riding only at half height with a lot of adjustment either way.
I've got new (2nd hand) seats going in that aren't ripped, a lot of new trim.
Still some bodywork to finish and paint correction but it should be a real tidy car once done.
If you dig through here - Log into Facebook - you'll see pics from when I collected it at the end of June.
Not sure on price yet, will have to see how it ends up once finished but it's not a cheap project car for sure
