I'm not sure pictures are required as I bought MalC's mk1 golf.

There will be changes to make it more personal to me but not too sure which direction I'll be going in.

Drove it 4600 + km across Canada…  Was insanely cold…  Heater gave out, so it was down as low as -35 IN THE CAR…

Visited the caster with presents..New master cylinder courtesy of retford auto spares now fitted and liquids added..now wheels stop turning….1 step closer to its first mot since 2012.. possibly may visit a petrol station for pre mot go go juice. Log book arrived today. 24th Nov I bought the caster…15th Dec. .. still on car lift. New discs.pads.brake hoses.new master cylinder.new wipers, Filters all round, Two wishbones,adjustable coilovers,Bearings all round.speedo cable and gear. 10 litres of go go juice to keep him ticking over keep him warm…

well done Mr Papageorgio epic journey! arrived in Spain in 18 degrees, Sportline started 2nd time! He was looking very smart after my Autoglym efforts in October. Went for a spin to Javea and had a glass of red wine in a beach bar. Have come the conclusion that I might have to sell the Young line and the mini in the new year as another year has passed and they are still not on the road. looking forward to christmas here in Spain, merry christmas and a breakdown free new year! cheers  :thumbs:

1992 Red 'Sportline' LHD from France now in Spain,
1991 White' Young Line' GTI LHD from Germany that I can not take to Spain because of Brexit!😒

Annual oil change on both Golfs. Semi-synth 10/40, genuine filter and new copper sump washers.

Cheapest and best value mechanic you can buy.

1983 Mars Red 1.8 Golf GTI
1987 Alpine White 1.8 Clipper Cabriolet

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

Went and picked up a project engine for it. There was a few of us to get it in the van but had to improvise to get it out! C:\fakepath\image.jpg C:\fakepath\image.jpg C:\fakepath\image.jpg C:\fakepath\image.jpg C:\fakepath\image.jpg
