newbie and car :)

hi folks
i just bought my first mk1 cab (had a few tin top mk1 and 2 golfs) the sun was beaming down HARD on monday and i saw this at the side of the road for sale with the standard 13 wheels painted satin black and thought……….gota have it :)

its had £680! spent on it in the last 2 years inc new roof, alternater, front discs and pads, rear shoes, drums and brake pipes, carbarter and a service inc cam and alternater belt.
its a dog to drive with its wolloy suspension and bucket of brick style gear change but that will all be sorted soon.
i want to get a big chin spolier and clear outer and inner headlights and maybe cheap coilovers to help with the boat feel!!

i put the porker rims on as they were on my cavalier mk2 (got 3 of these) they have been machined to remove the pattern/groove around each of the slots and look a bit different to the other 928 wheels ive seen.

so if i can pick your brians could i ask what a gl didnt get and what a gti did apart from the injection of course

its guttless but i love it, somthing about it just makes me love it.

oh im 38 and fully comp it was £123.

well let me know what you lot think and hope to hear from you all soon
thanks dave

Welcome to the site  :) car looks great.

looks like your rough ride is because the top mounts need changing.
If you do change make sure get genuine febi mounts.
