First Old VW. Newbie from Neath - South Wales

Hey guys.

Signed up to the site a little while ago after buying a MK1 Rivage.

I had used the site for a lot of info before buying the car which did come in handy.

Ive been into VWs for a few years now and used to have a MK4 GTI untill some women crashed into me.

After the accident i decided to buy a MK1 as ive always wanted.

Heres a few pics of what i used to have.





Shame it didnt look like that after the crash.

Anyway here are a few pics of my MK1.


















Please ignore the dodgy steering wheel cover lol. Its only there to stop any wear.

The car is rust free as far as i can see and the paintwork is in good condition for the year.

Plans for the car are to keep it completly standard.

Late next year i plan to have a bare metal respray with all pannels removed and re-sealed underside.

The wheels will also be re-polished as they do have some marks.

Hopefully next month i will be having a new mohair roof.

Well thats it from me now.

I will update as  things are done.

Comments welcome.

Ceri.

welcome to the site

looks like a lovely car and glad to hear your planning on keeping it standard

Lovely, interior looks pretty clean for the cloth stuff..

Very nice indeed!

Welcome aboard.

Looking good  8)

Cheers for the comments guys.

When i first got it i did plan to change the wheels and lower it but after driving it for a few months now ive decided to keep it completly standard.

Would anyone know where i can get the standard radio from?

Cheers

that mk4 golf what a shame aboout the crash its beautiful

go on normster!looking good! bet you miss the old beast!

Yeah I miss the mk4 sometimes Leon.

Having a new roof and headliner fitted next month for my bday and new carpet.

theres a place i saw advertised in pvw that does carpet any colour you want and all moulded the right shape.should look spot on when all thats done!looks very clean as it is now.
i give you few more months before you start looking for wheels tho.lol

Yeah the carpet is clean but its worn in places so just going to get it changed the same time as the roof.

I did see a company in pvw and they looked pretty good.

Ive already looked at wheels (loads of them) but i have decided to keep it completly standard.

What you going to do to yours?
