Hello fellow Mk1 golf owners out there!!

Dear all,

I purchased a Mk1 Golf Cab Auto 1980 here in Malaga, Spain Nov last year which had been abandond for more than 8yrs. This is my first restoration project!!!
Having owned a mk3 Golf Auto 1.8 Cabriolet i just love my dubs!!!!I had to sell that one though as it was very thirsty and with the crisis here in Spain well say no more!!! So now i drive a seat Ibiza 1.9D whilst restoring my dub.

Since Nov i have done quiet a lot of work on the car here is what it looks like today. 09/10/2012
