Just purchased this 86 mk1 golf gti for a reasonable price now I only bought the car to take the interior and the electric windows out of it, but now I'm thinking do I restore this? It has 82k genuine miles and has been garaged and off the road the 13 years and only has 3 previous owners, car looks to be in good shape no rust atall

I've put all the dash back together just need to work on getting the engine running as it's not ran for over 10 years, it turns over but doesn't start so going to have a good look at it tomorrow and go from there, how's your mk1 doing?

Shes running a treat, MOT done with no failures.
Complete mechanical strip down and rebuild.
Interior is stripped ready for new speakers, cables, electric aerial and complete sound proofing.
Seat retrim next, bloke let me down for this weekend, so have to rebook.
Next year, a full respray.
Hope you can at least get this white car started, then sell it as a project with no MOT.
Might want to give her a clean too
