Series 1 5 door silver sleeper

I know there will be a few people unhappy with this decision, none moreso than me but needs must so here it is.

1978 Mk1 Golf GLS Auto 5 door in Silver.
36000 Miles!!!
Converted to manual and now containing a BAM 20V turbo with Qpeng management running 280BHP.
The price before we continue is £6k and the car is located near Tamworth.
The car is used as a daily, it wouldnt take much to turn into a show car if thats your thing but it likes to be driven!

Aside from a small drop on coilovers and the Azev A' from the outside the car still looks like it should although with chrome spats, chrome mirrors, chrome side strips and chrome signed handles.
On the inside there is the addition of a boost gauge and oil temp gauge to the centre console in place of the clock and blank.
The gearstick is now manual and not auto, other than that its all standard inside and is pretty mint.

There is a bit of a build thread on the mk1 Owners club here

Theres probably more but the pics are here to make it easier.

In my opinion and after driving the car for a good while now it would benefit from a decent antiroll bar setup which was next on the list had i been keeping the car.
Problems wise there have been none, none at all in two years and it will not let you down.
The front valance needs a bit of tlc where there is some rust coming through and on the top of the wings, as i said, to make it mint, remember its 30 years old!

Any questions please ask, its advertised all over.
