Bought my golf last April but only just got him back home
Needs some work doing to him - never going to be a show and shine winner but overall he's not bad

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

I noticed in a picture that it looks like the vinyl on the dash by the vent holes (windscreen) de-mist is coming away and starting to cover the holes?
You can get a kit which slots in the holes and stops this happening.

Only 1 has peeled, but I'm going to get some to stop it from spreading
Got more issues with some rust at the bottom of the windscreen that may require the removal to sort!

Wanted one for ages and I'm a T5 owner so the club I'm in has a few people with mk1's as well. This one was on fb, got train to Exeter St Davids with the cash and drove it back.
Got some surface rust and a bad patch on the drivers side under the windscreen and some what look like golf ball dents all over the bonnet and scrapes but it's an honest car
My mate is a mechanic and has been involved in hot rods and vw's for nearly 30yrs so knows his stuff - he's pretty impressed by it and the engine needs a few basic things and a good service
Gonna get electrics and some upgraded speaker wires for the back.
Going to keep standard as much as possible

Do like the caddy pickups but seriously no good for me to use as a daily for shopping at Aldi!
Was looking at gti's but would like the son to drive it one day so lower insurance with a 1.1 in, that's if I let him

Another Formel E, in Pargas Blau with a female owner who wants to keep it standard - a woman after my own heart! This is my boy, Oreo. Any questions, give me a shout. Edited to add: it took me two years to find blue door cards without speaker holes in. Just need to find the right colour parcel shelf now as its seen better days.

That's handy! I don't have a photo of it but I'm just about to pamper the old boy for Stanford Hall so will snap one for you

Cider mainly, but even a cup of tea if you're with a group of like minded people chilling does me

Yes there are a few around but doesn't seem to be the most popular especially with the 5 doors
Luckily mine hasn't been hacked about inside or outside - have receipts and looks like someone older had it before the 18yr old I bought it off if so all standard
Seen yours on google and have screen shot as want mine as shiny - have you got the standard back or have you got the red block with golf written on it? Mine needs some work on as previous owner backed into a lamp post
I too need a parcel shelf and the supports, have both but have seen better days - the supports have faded to an off grey! So if anyone sees any around I'd be up for a purchase
