What did you do to your Mk1 Golf Today ?
Wait for some sun shine and Jack the corner. Stubby bottle of beer to keep the mojo on side

Scared her, which at our age is good for the heart by telling her that I was going to take a turn on 2 wheels as that would be fun…. (No I didn't do it, I slowed down to a modest 30 mph as I made the turn.).
Fun is getting these beasties to OEM or better, then maintaining them and driving them like you stole it.
What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?
They all start with GOOD Grounds.

I drove mine Spiritedly in some Twisties Topless, the wife was holding on for dear life to the outside of the door and I could see her foot desperately pressing the carpet as that was going to apply the brakes.

Went home to collect 2 new wings then couldn't fit them in the car to bring back to work!! So got 2 new wings in HUGE boxes sitting in my house 😂

Your putting Wings on your car? If you are making it a Aero Golf, just don't fly it on empty….

Took of coil overs all round and replaced with shocks and springs.
Replaced front and rear top strut mounts also
Swapped to alternator over for another one I have which looks better.
EVERY DUCKLING lower end nut and bolt was seized solid. So took me from 8am to 3pm to do the work. Grrrrrrr. Knee about the fronts to be fair so had full set of replacements to hand. Not the tears though. I have had to put the nuts back on with mole grips while I order 2 new nuts and bolts.
By the way what a b’stard job by yourself to do the rears.
Also discovered I need a new filler neck and will do the flexi at the same time.
Also refitted to duck bill and it no longer scrapes on the drive yea.
Next week new exhaust and 4 branch can now be fitted and that will be about it for this year. Very skint after all this. Have some little side projects on the go like rear beam disk conversion and mk2 throttle body so they may creep in for the end of the year but most likely a next year job.

Going to have it powder coated before fitting as the paint on it looks less than brilliant.
