My Frenchy Golf GX - BBS RM static

Hello everybody,
So just to present myself, I am french, 29years old, huge fan of VW! I had 2 mk4 golfs (TDI130 & GTI remapped) and I have as family car an estate bora Trendline.

I just bought a month ago a nice 1983 mk1, petrol 1500cm3, 70hp. This is a "limited" edition called GX with few bits like chrome








Need to spray that nicely


Engine, needs to be cleaned!

Modifications to come:


Change this:


To this OEM mk4 radio



I have just bought coilovers, they will be on the car next week!



After that I will:
- Change the front grill, remove the 2 central lights
- Add the GTI spoiler that is missing
- Find some nice wheels!

The car will definitely look better after that! On engine side, I have also an oïl leakage to fix…

Nice car I had a grey GX earlier this yesr.

Welcome to the club :-)

welcome aboard, nice motor  

Cheers guys, this is my first old car and I have to say I love it!


I have started to clean the engine while waiting for some parts to come to place my coilovers.
will post few pictures later on today.

Great sticker on the glove box  

Coilies are installed! I will make better photos tomorrow but I wanted to share this good news!





 

Welcome to the club. And a nice little car you got there.

Hi everybody,

Quick update

I have remove this to put a straight pipe, better sound, not too much (not enough? lol):



And I have put a front grill with 2 lights only:


Next thing will be to put nice wheels, I found the one I want, just need to find now the good opportunity!

Quick update on my post, just added small things

GTI side stripes






And fitted the spoiler:




Winter time, no other progress expected but when weather will be better I will add a full exhaust and nice wheels !

 

Good to see it progressing

It does take time but it's worth it in the end.
The car looks like a great buy mate!  

looking better and better!

nicely done.    what wheels you thinking about?

Update here: I have just fitted some BBS RM wheels, OEM not fake, refurbished!

Tyres are too big, I have already ordered small ones.

Looking great, the smaller tyres will really make a difference
