Hello
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

Lovely, is it a 1100 Formel-e?
Please keep it original, even the front door cards haven't been hack to fit speakers.

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

Yep in Paragas blue
Going to keep original as possible
Got an ash tray as it was missing and looking for a radio
Front seats are knackered and back seat upholstery didn't match so have new to replace
New carpet is ready in box
Just getting mechanic to check it all over as SORN atm

Welcome, nice standard car you have there, seats look good.
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

Not practical for me to do the big wheels and lowering
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

Mines 13, he might not get to 14 the ways he's been behaving lately!
He â¤ï¸'s VW's and really enjoys the vw shows, it as a nice to go on my own to sit in a field with a drink, fire and marshmallows

That sounds like the perfect way to spend the day. In a field with a drink I mean not the badly behaved teen ager, my boy's 15 and grunts occasionally when I see him has no interest in cars and is a pro snap chatter I think.

So what do you drink when you're sitting round your fire toasting marshmallows?

Welcome
Claireyd
!
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.

Cider mainly, but even a cup of tea if you're with a group of like minded people chilling does me
m00
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
