My Golf

Not even got it home yet, bought it from ebay, went to go see it tonight the colour is a lot darker then the photo's make out.
Real pleased with it no rust at all and not just my first vw but also my first car so may be asking for some advice from you guys.

You need to leave the images on photobucket in order for them to stay.

D'oh

put the images back on photobucket mate..

Wanna see wanna see

sounds good and great choice as a first, you wont ever want anything else! my first car was FORD..    then i saw the light!!! VW all the way

Sorry guys moved them to a folder didn't realise it changed img  pictures back up now.  

Nice one

I was watching that on ebay too… Just been painte din french blue if i rememebr rightly!!

So whats the plans then

Yeh that's the one, The  colour is real nice.
Erm im planning to keep it pritty standard probably some coil overs, ATS classics (maybe) needs a new interior looking at one on ebay atm  
Then maybe after i have been driving a bit a engine conversion to something a bit bigger. (need the cheap insurance atm as im going uni next year so 1.1 will do for now ) :wink:

remember seeing this on ebay - nice colour.

just paint the interior to match, i.e. door tops etc!

I was watching this one too. Glad its as rust free as they said it was

Get some better pics up when you can

Picked her up today. She is home!
Got a little dent now though!    The handle from the winch on the trailer went flying and smashed into the bonnet.    Luckily it has no windscreen otherwise that would have been cracked as well. Oh well just another job to get done.
Would put some photos up but its raining hard today. Will take some asap.  

Things coming together now. Just put in the new interior, got the new windscreen just waiting on the seal. Just bought a carb and inlet manifold aswell as i bought it without one. Also got new wing mirrors. Hope the engine isn't to bad as i took a bit of a risk buying it without hearing it run. I turnt it over with a spanner and everything seems fine.  
Will get some picture up as soon as the windscreen is in as its a bit of a mess inside with all the bits being stored in it.  

looks a perfect base that bud!!

very tidy!!

Small update,
Got the carb and inlet today thanks to one of the guys on here. Will be fitting that tomorrow evening.  
Also got a couple other bits as i went past b & b on my way home. Got some new door mirrors and a new filler cap.  
Also a quick question. As you can see my car don't have any holes to fit side trim? Has this been smoothed or where they not fitted to the 1.1 models? Because I'm thinking of fitting some black side trim on. Can it be fitted with some strong double sided tape?
Thanks Grant

Theres not enough surface area on the back of the side trims to use tape. Well there isnt on my chrome ones. Dont know which you have..

They must have been filled in as all models had trims

get some new pics up!

Ross

Fitted the new windscreen today. Was to dark to take pictures though so will put some up tomorrow.  

Here are some new pictures.

Looks nice and shiny! The colour looks so much better than it did in the ebay pics.

Looks like a nice capri too. :y: My Mum has one

Yeah your holes look to have been filled in.  Perhaps if you look from the inside you may see where they once were?  Like behind the rear doorcard :dontknow:   Also same as ross the colour looks great.

Are the clips on the side trim in a fixed position? Because if they are i can just line the end up with the door edge and see where the holes should be?
Bit scared if they used a lot of body filler though because big patches could just fall off.

Yeah they are a fixed position, worth a try taking the rear door card off though because you may see where atleast one hole is and then you can work from there.

My chrome side trim clips are loose. They slide down the trim and you have to line them up. What trims have you got?
