Mk1 Golf Cabriolet in MK

Been a member for a little while now but decided not to post anything until now as was convinced I'd have to sell the golf :(Luckily, after months of sorting out money and debating with the fella, finally got a place to start working on my golf :DHe's a 1.6 Carb engine, needs a good old clean and the wiring sorting but luckily roofs in good nick and is a tidy looking car- other than the ripped front seat :)He's been nicknamed Maverick and I'm very excited to be finally able to work on him!
Hoping to have him in good condition for the shows next year :hippie:

Welcome! That doesn't look too bad at all ;) Are you coming to the Annual Gathering in a couple of weeks?

Is that a Ford Pop in orange lurking in the background there?

A nice tidy mk1 you have there.  I thought that was an orange 103E Pop in the background - any more pics/details on that ?

Aha, not much to say on it atm, was orange and cream, is currently being sanded down to be resprayed all in orange, has been sitting for a while so got itself in a bit of a state but finally got the other cars finished so can start on it, don't really get involved with it anymore as I moved away and left it to father and son time, will take a couple of pics next time i'm over there, hopefully will be sprayed soon so they can start working on getting it ready for the shows :)
Couple of old pics:

Some cool cars in your family then. I did wonder if the sierra was a cossie but the spoiler didnt look right in the pic I could see. 

The cosworth is one of the cars ive always wanted since I was a kid.

Yeah, quite a few fords owned by the family, dad and brother are major ford fanatics, although dads taken a shine to my dubs over the years  :lol:
And yeah cosworths are gorgeous cars, my faves the pop, but my lil brothers mk2 fiesta looks like a laugh to drive :)
