Hi new guy with VW MK1 golf GLD good condition with PICS!!!
Try & restore her rather than scraping her. Not may Diesels around but there are too many Diesel lovers here inc me :mrgreen:
I too would love to have another 5 door Diesel :mrgreen:
Let us know how you get on Cheers.

Good luck with the viewing on Monday. If nothing else, it might give you the 5 speed box to go straight into yours. Hope it has one! Nice photos by the way
Hey thanks, that Monday was of 2 weeks ago, the car was crap, but the guy told us that in two weeks (around now) he knows another guy that is selling a mk1 and should be in better condition
The one we went to see was painted with wall paint and the bonnet wasn't even closed properly (broken hinges and rusted lock) besides the doors were open too so ppl would throw rubbish and stuff inside and the rain enters from perished seals.
The next one is used as a daily driver so should be in much better condition :?

Oops, sorry! Shame the car was rubbish. He was right about it being scrap only! Hope this next one's good though, it sounds better. :pray:ollymalta said

have to see to the rear shocks too but the guy didn't have any at the mo
Anyway he mentioned that he was taking apart a golf so I'll go and check about any doors/tailgate/parts (hopefully in better nick than the other ones I went to see) ,seems like a quality guy so should have some parts that are slightly more valuable than scrap metal

Good to see your car is coming together. :mrgreen:
I yet have to fit the alternator i recd from GSF daybefore after weeks of waiting. They orignally gave me with the wrong one… split me radiator hose.
Done a bit of DIY to the hose so hopefully will be sorted. :wink:
Look forward to seeing you to the AGM… :mrgreen:

Yeah its been a while now cos there was nothing to do with the car, but been to the mechanic (he always knows what the problems are) and decided to sort out all this stuff.
I don't know how you guys are constantly changing alternators/starter motors, I just get them rewound and checked by this friend of mine every once in a while and they're fine.

Getting a new shiny one was the cheaper option from GSF… But they supplied me the wrong one, and now the right one that doesnt fit…. Man its a nightmare…
Glad to hear your having fun….
I am now planning to go out on the scooter & have some wind in me face :mrgreen:

New clutch is much better (obviously), car flew on 1st, also stalled as I have to get used to flooring the clutch pedal now ops: … Bad habits
NO GROOVES 8O 8O Friction part (what is left of it) was actually moving!!!!
Front shocks, I pressed them in and they don't come back out !!!
No BEARINGS and one of the Bolts came off
Exhaust pipe rubbers old, hard and cracked
Its not that I don't take care of the car it's just that all the thing seem to always go at once The whole lot done for GBP 130
