Im a newbee!!

Hey all im new to this site, & really the whole Vdub seen. Bought myself a 83' Golf 1.6 GTI. Ive just started getting her up to my standards of looks.So far built a lovely Italian leather clad boot build & parcel shelf & now doing the much more important things! Like getting a new boot as mines rotten!
C ya around,

Dean.

Hello and welcome!  :mrgreen:

a 1983 1.6 Gti?  Is that a Gti engine from an earlier mk1 golf, or did they still make 1.6 in 1983?  :dontknow:

anyway, welcome to the club!

cheers, Andrew

hello and welcome, i would say its had a engine swap old chap :wink:

Let's see some piccies then?

1.6 finished in '82 IIRC

Welcome to the club, replied to your post in the general section about getting pics up (which I'm quiet proud of and should become a sticky  :wink: ) so hope to see them soon  

I'm fairly new to the VW scene, well, been into them for almost 2 years.. and I think you've picked the best VW and the best, most Friendly site around! Mk1's are addictive though, one's not enough   If I had my way and the girlfriend didn't stop me, I'd have about 4 by now  

Id be the same, but got no more room for any other cars
As for my motor, the previous owner blew the 1.8gti lump up & could only find a 1.6gti to replace it (bit of a shame) but im so impressed with the power.
Blew away a Polo GT n a 1.9 205 gti the other day! was quite funny!!

I will eventually look to replace with the 1.8 lump, but funs are low at the mo.

I will post pics as soon as I can work out how?? any help?

Cheers Dean.

I think there is a thread on how to post pics but you need a hosting account for example photobucket.

Sounds like you 1.6 engine has had some work done to it to blow away a 1.9 GTI. Get some pics up.

i think these pug drivers are just half wits, and think 2nd gear is launch gear.  :dontknow:  :wink:

P.S. There are plently cheap 1.8 blocks going around. Cue…SCOUSE.  :wink:
