hello im new

hi im new to this site and i  thought seeing as im home now from my travels i should start a thread on my recently purchased dub( well 4 months ago)

i bought this as a moment of stupidity just before i left for oz for a bargain price. now im back i need to get it sorted out and on the road. well once i get a job that is….

i have always wanted one since passed my test and saw it so i bought it
91/92 volkswagen golf clipper cabriolet electric roof and windows
only fault is a couple or small wear rips in the rear of the roof in the lower corners

plans are simple for the moment with getting a new roof and tidying it up to start with then some new rims possibly bbs rms colour coded and coilovers then possibly a 2.0l 16v or 1.8t

I think it's definately worth doing…. need to get a job after 4 months in oz - that's going to be a shock to the system hey, specially given how laid back they are  8)    Good luck with that mate!
