My not so new Mk1! Updated 20/04/2014

Just read through this gutted about the head gasket you after you was getting there

I know bud! I am gutted too. I've just been looking at new engine gasket sets and think I will be forking out about £120 for it because there is no point just fitting a new head gasket!
It's so tempting to just put Ruby in the garage, get Goly the golf out and start the full restoration on a car I actually want to get back on the road!
This is supposed to be a quick project to get a daily driver!    

Right, after much thought about this, the time has come to stop playing with this car! 
 Ruby is taking up too much time and the wife is desperate for me to get my other Mk1 back on the road!  
Yesterday I took Goly The Golf out of the garage and put Ruby in its place! The plan now is to strip Goly, get her fully restored and once complete I will start again on Ruby! 
Keep an eye on my other thread for progress on Goly and hopefully it will be to a much higher standard than what you have seen me do to Ruby.
Thanks for reading this thread so far and I will leave you with a couple of pictures of Goly.
Cheers,
Britney.

Hi!

I think I quite possible bought your Golf this Sunday just gone!!

Hi @VwChlo_
I have just deleted CJU 902Y from my car register so feel free to add it to yours.
Could I be cheeky? I'm curious as to how much you paid for the car? I sold it to a guy who seemed really genuine! Said he wanted to strip to a bare shell and restore back to standard but then the next thing I know its up for sale again! Strange as I thought the car is a very good base for an easyish restoration! 
I don't mind if you don't want to tell me how much, I'm just being nosey.
Good luck with the car and like I said in the other post, if you need anything and think I can help just PT me on here.
Cheers,
Britney
