Hello, good evening

Hello all just bought my first Mk 1, 1983 gti hard top, although there's no engine. Sure it won't be too long untill she's running though, thanks to all the awesome info I've been reading on here. Planning on a 20v turbo conversion,but got to take her apart first for lots of well overdue TLC. In Portsmouth area cheers all!

Welcome mate,

You'll find find everything you need to know at this Club and if you become a fully paid member a whole lot more!

Mk1's are a way of life and take a lot of time and money but that's a big part of the fun and the passion. They are most of the time a whole lot more reliable then your local Footie team!

Just kidding mate about Pompey, I hail from Hampshire and have watched there struggle from a far with great interest. I wish them all the best mate!

Enjoy your Mk1, and come to the AGM next year!

Mike.
