After a 30 year break Im back in a mk1! Got my first question too

Post

Back to the top
Afternoon all, after owning a mk1 Golf GL (white) over 30 years ago I've recently purchased a mk1 Golf Clipper in white from a good friend (Hi Anand if you are reading!)

It feels familiar and all new at the same time and I've got a lot to learn. Just managed to get the car through its MOT and now I want to address some snags.

First up will be the LCD clock that I've received a replacement LCD screen for.

Second of all I would love to replace the drivers side seat foam (bottom) and suggestions on purchase of this part or indeed recommended companies that would do this would be most welcome; I currently reside in Leicester. (I've been looking at the foam itself on Werk34).

Well that's it for now. Hoping to sort insurance today (Lancaster) and tax first thing tomorrow… then its time to give it its first drive!

Look forward to learning more from your fantastic community.

if can't find new you can try and pickup a cheap passenger seat, the foam is usually a lot less worn and can be swapped over

1983 Mars Red 1.8 Golf GTI
1987 Alpine White 1.8 Clipper Cabriolet

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

Sounds promising if they would fit my 1991 clipper (I'm working on my basic knowledge looking at VW heritage and werk 34 that the seat foam is one piece?) If you can drop me a photo and let me know what you need for them that would be great
