Hello fellow dubbers
i signed up today, so i can become more involved with the forum as i read it regularly, but dont post
i have been in the vw scene for many years
i am known on ed38 and clubpolo as BLACK6N_POLO
but i sold my 6n to buy a mk1 gti
i am based in north london/herts
here is some pics of my golf:

its an 83' campaign gti
was registered by the previous owner on here
has
audi 2.2 throttle bodies
4-1 manifold
high lift cams
coilovers
ats cups 15x7
all red rear lights (standard ones fitted at the moment)
vdo gauges
everything else is mint and as original as possible, including the interior
just purchased some new engine parts which will be chromed
cam belt cover
rocker cover
fan cowling
roar pipe
the plan is to make the car as nice as possible, without modifications that cannot be returned back to standard
the strips are not on the car, as they were not replaced whent the car had a full respray in 98' for a mag feature (i was not the owner at the time) but i like the look of it at the time being without them
what do you all think?

alright mate
so where you the previous owner?
can you tell me any details/points on the car from its history
what was repaired etc in the restoration
thanks

Yeah I know what you mean about getting it set up right - with that cam tho was always gonna be a job - you got it sorted now tho ??

ye i got the folder with all the history etc
the cam was a big job to sort, i got the car re-tuned and the dodgy idle sorted, the car now starts and runs properly when cold, the cam is now less lumpy and drives properly even in traffic
it was a big job but now the car runs perfect
do you know when the modifications took place?
i will find rsdub now
i have also done loads of work on the gear box and clutch

The mods took place leading up to the feature in VWM - it had black leather interior and a momo wheel in it when I got it and I put it back to standard. Oh I had the pirelli p's restored aswell but I dont think you got those in the sale did you ??
I put the link up above when rsdub had it for sale - if you look in my old posts you will see when I had it up also if you are interested.

when were the strips removed ?
and by who ?
they were there in rsdubs pics!
the pics from your for sale post dont work
ive sorted the cam and idle with a big stuggle but i am so happy with the way it is running now
im just sorting the niggles and then pimping the engine bay
most of the car has all of the original parts which is cool
Posted
Old Timer
Cool that youve got it running spot on - its a really really really good MK1 but you know that cos you bought it
This is the only pic Ive got left :

Posted
Old Timer
