Getting Excited

Put a thread up a little while ago - I sold my mk1 series 2 golf to buy a 1976 series 1 golf. The engine is now in and will be MOT'd very soon. I then got some body work to do and then I am half way there. Cannot wait to get back behind a MK1 golf!!

Sounds good, get some pics up!!!!

It's always good when you see your making progress, get some pictures up.

I am getting very excited - seems like ages ago I was behind the wheel of a MK1!!! Have not got lots of pictures but will take some more soon. Thought you might want to see the engine!!!

think i want one :mrgreen:

Looks good, i want one as well how much did all your engine components come to? If you dont mind me asking.

I bought the car with the engine out of the car so all the pieces were there to put back in. I will have some bits and pieces left over so if you are looking at doing the same happy to help with parts. Also got wolfsburg steering wheel spare.

i really wanted that car when the guy you bought it off bought it.

any pics of the car?

Dannyess - I saw that on previous posts.

Will have pics soon when the engine is finished as will then go to the body shop!!! Will keep you updated mate. Seriously love this car

what year and colour is that????

1976 in lofotun green - has been on here before and was a show car but needs some work doing to it so am the one getting it all done....house has already been remortgaged and in the process of selling the wife to the highest bidder - joke!!!

thought so think muska owned it

my mate dub76 has the exact same car with a 20vt in it theres only 3 i know of left in the country in that colour heres a pic of me and dub76

dubboy owns the other

cheers mate - yeah was owned by Muska. Have done my research on this and seen the other two. Love the 20vt but price was a bit too rich for my blood!! Got some bodywork to do to bring it back to original state but loved the fact they are quite rare. Other than that will put some new wheels on, retrim the interior and headlining and then enjoy the car and have a big smile on my face....love it already and not even driven it yet!!

dub76 spent 12k on the refurb and conversion its got all the original panels still very good job to i think its a fair price for a very nice car

i saw your one at g-werks last year when it was looking sorry for itself  

glad your taking the time to make good again be good to get all 3 of them at the pod in one show 8)

I love dub76 golf and you can see the love that has gone into it so no doubt the money is right just thought I would spend a bit and bring one back to life and put some love back in myself. Be great to get them all together - Will send updated pics when it gets done up!!

mate that is gonna be one serious piece of kit when its finished  
i look forward to seeing it in the flesh, and hopefully owning it when you get bored  :mrgreen:
just out of interest have you decided what rims will you be running on it??
 ive got a mint set of chewed up ronal turbo's that would look lush on there  :wink:

ha ha nice one Mr Little!!! Still thinking about the rims….bbs E30's perhaps if I sell my kidney. Also seen some nice ones in the US that been thinking about as cheap but need someone to photoshop them on for me to see what they look like.

Chewed up Ronals suit your car mate - it is all the rage in Moldova I hear

very good dan
e30's look lush mate there are a set on edition i believe,
you are right about the price though they are silly dough,
by the way my lithuanian style ronals are actually surplus to requirements now as i have sourced some gold bbs 15's (im giving it the turkish look now, euro look is so yesterday)

the u.s rims sound interesting though, any pics mate??
oh and can i get a heads up from anyone selling pressed turkish number plates please
fenebache crest not essential :mrgreen:

Look forward to seeing the pics mate!!! yeah undecided on the wheels but will not be getting them until next year anyway so plenty of time to choose. These were the ones I was looking at:

I haven't got any Turkish plates but reckon you should put one of those hookah smoking pipes between the front and back seats and retrim with a nice authentic carpet…be a good look mate :wink:
