pic heavy update 22/12/2011 !!

hi,
   thought i d say hi as i am new to the site and as i have now got my mk1 gti 1981 at last i thought i should join.

i bought my golf a few weeks ago a driver mot'd nice silver gold bbs alloys and i was very happy. i then decided to rebuild the head as stem seals were gone and also strip to a shell to get it all resprayed and sort any problems. i have come across a couple and thought people might be able to help. i need an inner wing passenger and a front panel as my mate ( the helpfull owner of the bodyshop i have filled with golf parts lol) has said they could be welded but while in pieces best to get them sorted so anyone now the best place to source these parts?

i will try put up a few pics when i figure out how!!!

cheers
phil

just contemplating the colour!!!

What colours are you thinking of ?  standard colours or something different?

Good solid looking car, get yourself to Gti Inters at Bruntingthorpe if your after some bits for the mk1…and come say hello on club display  :wink:

think with those wheels mate, a nice green would be nice dark green, not blue though it would look like a vintage subaru

mars red goes well with gold

Keep it in the original colour mate :wink: But if you have to change it make it another Mk1gti colour.Baller

cheers for the replies was thinking of the grey mettalic colour l94f jsut fancy slightly darker but a proper vw colour  

forgot to mention managed to get my inner wing that i needed well actually i got a pair genuine vag complete with chassis legs for ?130 to my door did i do well????  now need a front panel !!! then the refit can begin make it solid !!

took engine apart today so i can sort the head check it all out and rebuild it get some use out of it this year lol

seems like you have your hands full mate, get some pics up of your progress and lets have a look   :wink:  :wink:
