very solid mars red mk1 1.3 driver (3dr) borbets + coilovers

im only testing the water to see if theres any interest, if there is then i will consider selling..

1.3 mk1 golf 'driver'
mars red
7 owners (very low saying its 26 years old)

tax untill 30th of this month, but can tax it if buyer wants.. (have declared it for sorn from 1st december)
8months mot

just had a full service with previous owner:

head gasket
cambelt
waterpump
plugs
points cleaned
coolant change
oil and filter
new brakes all round

runs really well, i have used it everyday since i have owned it and it hasnt missed a beat..

heres a few pics of when i first bought it..









have to say the pictures do it a little justice even though it is clean/solid, it is a little rough around the edges,a couple of small dents on the roof, few stone chips on the bonnet, front panel has quite abit of surface rust, scratches/marks below the rear boot lock (where the keys have caught over 26years) and scratches down the top of the drivers wing where it meets the bonnet at the front..

apart from the above its very sound for its age, a hell of alot better then some out there, sills are very clean, so are inner arches, boot floor and scuttle panel..

the changes i have done..

exterior - wheels/tyres/suspension:

borbet 't' alloys. (14x7 front & 14x8 rear) fronts have 175/50/14 michelin tyres, and rears are 195/45/14 rainsports (nice subtle stretch)
coilovers (-120mm drop all round, but i have removed the rear helper springs and gone around -140mm, but front has another 20mm to go down)
new front topmounts
1.5degree camber shims (on rear)
'up and out' exhaust tip
undersealed the front panel as it had rust on it, new one only costs ?26 (its just the lower front panel, not the whole thing)
front plate removed and on sunvisor
rear wiper removed (gromit)

interior -

10" mountney steering wheel + new mountney boss

chrome door handles

chrome door pins (black tops that match interior)

engine -

straight through middle section (for clearance reasons, doesnt catch at all now)







few pics before the coilovers were fitted..
