Your 1st Mk1!
My first mk1, GTi I bought a few years ago after coming along to No-Rice with amk2 owning mate….
Bought it with No V5 and no MOT! All turned up fine though!

First Mod…repainting front and rear panels matt black.
Last Mod…'modifying' the front panel by hitting a dog in the fast lane of the motorway at 80 on the way to Inters 2004…
Loved that car and wish I hadn't sold it now. rough on outside but solid floorpan and so much fun!

The mods could hide the rust but not when the rear suspension lost it's hold on the floor pan due to yet more tin worm :cry: so with a heavy heart I laid it to rest. A Mk1 scirocco followed and then I entered the Golf GTI zone :wink:

Best moment was a knock on the door from the police to say it had been recovered 12 years ago, but could have been going to Wolfsburg or going through the Alps or a lot of other places.
