New member from cheshire

Hi guys, my names Tom and i'm a VW addict. There, I've said it!!we live in congleton, cheshire and have recently just bought our first MK1. We're no strangers to VW's as between my wife and I we've had the following:
MK2 Golf GTi
Mk3 Golf
2 Mk4 R32's
3 Polo's
and currently we have a passat estate and a '65 11 window splitscreen camper. We've bought the MK1 for my wife and little one to cruise round locally Anyway, pics for you all


I'll no doubt be asking questions over time and need a few bits to finish him off so this isn't the last you'll hear from me!Thanks for looking!

That looks lovely Tom, nice alloys too

Welcome to the club  

Hey Tom welcome to the club, looks good mate
You got any plans for it or keep it how it stands??

Should've kept an R32 and done an engine swap

Hi Tom and welcome to the forum. Nice MK1.

You're lucky to have a Mrs who is interested in VW's and MK1s. Mine is completely indifferent to them      

Hi Tom welcome to the club  

Nice car & camper

Thanks for the welcome guys! Yeah I'm pretty lucky that I have a wife that won't drive anything other than a vw!! That's why I married her!!! Lol!
No plans for the golf other than to fix a few things and run it!
Not got the cash to do much whilst running a '65 split!! Lol! Damn vw's!!

Welcome and love your motor :-)

Life could be worse - and as you say with a wife with VW written through her middle noting to complain about!

Here you are pal. Got loads so i'll post a thread up in other projects  

Well gel of the Splitty.

If you give me it, I will pay your membership on the site for 12 Months. I Promise!

Love the splittie campers. Some of the mint ones go for amazing amounts of money. Would be one of the first things I'd buy if I won the lottery.

Welcome aboard.  I'm chester way so nice to find another local-ish person.
Your mk1 looks lovely, love the gas burners by the way, they really suit to car.
Im currently saving for a splitty muself as its on my hit list of must have's.
