Golf Mk1 show

Hi all, looking for some advice please

Really wanted to have my golf ready for this year (promised myself this after missing out last year) but it's not as finished as I would like, chiefly seats are covered till I can get some exact same ones that are decent, and the engine bay is still untouched.

On the plus side, the bodywork and wheels are A1 after respray and refurb.

What sort of condition of cars are at the show, I am presuming they are all absolute minters and I would be better of not going in it this time?

noooooo mate, you have that totally wrong if your talking about the agm, some are mint yes but some are not, its the time of year for us all to get together and have some fun, meet fellow members and just enjoy the day/weekend whatever.

as long as it starts and drives it more than welcome and will fit right in

chuck any seats in and you ain't gotta lift the bonnet so engine bay condition makes no difference …

JUST GET THERE !!!

as above get yourself along! ! ! ! any condition is fine, no one gets judged on the condition of there car, its a common love for the mk1's!

Why not check out some of the pics from last years show http://www.vwgolfmk1.org.uk/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewforum&f=60

Ah nice one thanks for that, dead excited now, sounds perfect, can only get one day off work, what d'ya reckon the best day to go is?

Phew! Makes me feel loads better about bringing mine along when its running next year.

The conversion will hopefully be finished but the bodywork will still be really tatty lol

Really looking forward to the meet next sunday

you don't get weekends off ?? if not then saturday must be the best, never been myself yet this is my first year but i would imagine friday is going to be setting up tents and gettin the place ready and sunday will be packing it all away so saturday will be the only full day ..

pity you cannot come on the friday like the rest of us midlands lot were meeting at the clubhouse (mcdonalds) and toys r us carpark in oldbury jcn 2 m5

Take a look at the flyer at the top it outlines whats happening on which day then take your pick from there. The drive out on sat is really good just to see so many mk1's driving, sunday is more of all the cars parked up so you can go round and have a look at them.

I doubt sunday is just going to be packing stuff away.

Its the main SHOW day.

At first i had the same idea about these meets but it couldnt be further from the truth…. it is not " my golfs better than your golf "
so far everyone ive met from this club have all been a really good bunch and they make you so welcome…if you need any help they are all so willing and if your after advice they will tell you all they know

A good club with great members

If its a Mk1 and will get you there then that's all you need  yes the show and weekend is about the car but its more about the folks you meet and the great laugh and the Saturday night party isn't to be missed with DJ etc and fancy dress the whole weekend for me is about fun and seeing how many Mk1s we can get in one place altogether regardless of age or condition.

Ah thanks all, dead excited am def going to the Saturday - tomorrow!

i'm bringing my kicker so if that gets in anything will!  :mrgreen:

my car not ready but love the club that much had to come in a corsa so doubt that
