I am fairly new to this forum so i'll introduce myself again my name is Jack and i have just purchased this very early series 2 Mk1 golf GLS which missed out on being a series 1 by just 60 days which is rather remarkable but it was owned by a old man here on the Isle Of Wight and i have bought it to restore it!
i am no rooky to the world of Volkswagen's having owned 4 other Mk1's i live, eat, and breath these retro icons and with no further ado here is the latest.
Here she is the day i picked it up. ( the previous owner had tried to make it 'cool' by lowering it 40mm and putting some snowflakes on )
I got her back to the workshop and immediately got to work on a clean up.
bumpers off!
non genuine wings off!
unfortunately i didn't take Before & After shots of the engine bay cf_emoticons__BangHead: but i did spray everything over several times with degreaser to remove 32 years of grime!
more progress to come and more pics of the absolutely immaculate un molested interior
