First Old VW. Newbie from Neath - South Wales
Signed up to the site a little while ago after buying a MK1 Rivage.
I had used the site for a lot of info before buying the car which did come in handy.
Ive been into VWs for a few years now and used to have a MK4 GTI untill some women crashed into me.
After the accident i decided to buy a MK1 as ive always wanted.
Heres a few pics of what i used to have.

Shame it didnt look like that after the crash.
Anyway here are a few pics of my MK1.

Please ignore the dodgy steering wheel cover lol. Its only there to stop any wear.
The car is rust free as far as i can see and the paintwork is in good condition for the year.
Plans for the car are to keep it completly standard.
Late next year i plan to have a bare metal respray with all pannels removed and re-sealed underside.
The wheels will also be re-polished as they do have some marks.
Hopefully next month i will be having a new mohair roof.
Well thats it from me now.
I will update as things are done.
Comments welcome.
Ceri.

When i first got it i did plan to change the wheels and lower it but after driving it for a few months now ive decided to keep it completly standard.
Would anyone know where i can get the standard radio from?
Cheers
