HELLO MK1 OWNERS

hello everbody. I will be purchasing my FIRST mk1 golf in the next couple of months, so i will be searching ebay and autotrader for a good'un. Im thinking of spending up to ?1500 on the car, then more ??? restoring etc. Is ?1500 a good budget to find an ok mk1? any other advice appreciated.
cheers.

HI mate and welcome to the site. There's a guide on here to help you in your search, well worth a look I'd say. Then you have the For Sale Forum with loads of cars for sale.

I personally think ?1500 is a good budget and depending on how high you set your sights could get you any number of solid Mk1s.

?1500 is a good solid budget.  Check all the rust areas (as mentioned) and even look at cars for ?1800-?2000 as they may be willing to drop a bit (everyone puts a bit extra on when selling cars).

Hope this helps mate and start a build thread when you find the car you've always wanted  :wink:
