Hi all! Just bought my first ever MK1, an early cab. will get round to uploading pics soon but for now…. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1980-Volkswagen-Golf-mk1-Convertible-GLI-Motd-and-taxed-/321223004634?pt=Automobiles_UK&hash=item4aca6211da#ht_1395wt_1170ent to test drive and to be fair the bloke was honest, he accepted it as part ex on an audi a4 and told me if i wanted to take a punt on it he would take £500 cash. Runs like a dream, gear changes smooth and engine never missed a beat. all electrics lights switches etc working perfectly. Only rust on her is slight bubbling on the boot lid and around the passenger door handle! ( have already sourced a new door)
Not sure really what to do with it, would love to do a full ​shell restore but just dont have the money. My daily driver is a 6n2 Polo GTI, The MK1 has MOT till next may and is in overall good nick with not much visible rust at all, Im going to strip it down a bit to investigate further!
Open to ideas for this project!
Ohh. Names Max, from the Bristol/North Somerset area!!

Hi mate, unfortunately the car is now uninsured! and want to get it tip top before I take it to any shows, although I may pop along to the next one in the Polo! Currently trying to get together a list of parts for the Golf, done all the usual checks for rust etc, hoping I can find someone who knows a bit more about them (as this is my first old VW) to have a look and see if they can scout any problems out for me!
Hope the show was good!!
Max
PS, if it was the red A3 with 260BHP, that is a bloody lovely car!
