Series 1 More Door
Well Finally after selling the Mk2 i have wanted to get back into a old school dub the mk5 just dont cut it
. So after i kept telling myself no i finally gave in (this was over 6 months ago
) Found a Mk1 Gti in Glasgow on Gumtree so me and Scott jumped in the car and headed to see it….. needed far too much work so walked. i hand seen few come up here and there few phone calls and never really got anywhere. Second one came up on Facebook was a 5 door 1.5 and was in Manchester spoke to the guy seemed genuine said all the welding had been done and all that was need was brakes and a battery for an mot, got pics and seem good. Arranged to go down view and my mate James got the flat bed and away we went, the thing had been painted with a roller!! a feckin ROLLER!!!! which wasent mentioned needed both sills on each side doing hole in the floor, big crack in the spare wheel well, back panel fibre glassed the list goes on so waste of time and £120 RAGE!! :evil:
Spotted this one on ebay series 1 more door with 72k on the clock with mots to back it up. went to view again with Scott cheers mate bought it there an then taxed it and drove it home seems solid in the right places needs a clutch full hit of paint ect but what project doesent eh?
Enough of the big story ill let the pick do the rest
Rollin home
Got it in and gave it a quick clean not the best pics but will get better daylight ones soon
Will be a slow project few bits to get done on the mk5 first then get stuck into this.
:thumbup:
Now that winter is out the way and the lighter nights are here i will be stripping it down and hope not too find and big surprises
Cheers Chris

Nice one mate good luck with it. Put the swage line back in if you do decide to get it painted sometime, that will make a huge difference and make it worth more 👍
