Hello from cheshire

Hi all I thought it was about time I said hello.  I’ve been hanging around for a while now looking at other peoples cars and being very impressed in the process. So this is me saying hello.
 

Hello, looks like you have a nice White Mk1 from your Avatar picture, post up some photos so we can have a closer look and let us know some more about your car.

Hi sorry for the late reply ive been working 2-10 all week.
so a bit about myself. ive been into cars as long as i can remember. when i was younger i was big into my vauxhalls  (please dont judge i was young) this is one of my projects some of you might find intresting my astra gsi 4x4 project | Vauxhall Owners Forum

Ive worked for bentley motor in crewe for the last 15 years the last 4 of them as a quality control team leader so i like to think my standards are high but fair if you know what i mean. so the golf i have always wanted a mk1 golf and i new when i finally had a mk1 it would be a show/weekend car so the time had to be right to be able to run two cars at the same time. I decided 12 months ago the time was right now i new i didnt have time to build a car myself so i started looking for a complete  car. After viewing a few and not being impressed i saw that deutsche doktors in stoke had a few for sale and as they were only down the road i jumped in my car to take a look. once again i was not impressed with the cars they had for sale but they did say that they could build me one. so we had a sit down i explained to the what i wanted where i worked and what i wanted and the quality i wanted and i must say they did everything that i asked for. the main thing i wanted was a good solid shell and a half decent spray job anything else i could put right overtime we are dealing with parts that are 35 years old now. oh also at the same time they fitted a 1.8t 20v and for the money they have done a great job. so for the pics lets see if this works.

Welcome to the club first of all. 

Really nice looking GTI you have there and in my favourite colour! 

Very nice, I think white really suits the small bumper conversions.

Nice looking car mate! Will you be taking it to deva dubs this weekend? 

Greetings and welcome to the forum. Mint looking MK1 you have got matey.

Hey mate,

Welcome to the club, and thanks for the lift from the entrance to the stand - shame you couldn't put your foot down!

Good to talk to you, and hope to see you at some more shows!
