Hi all

hi all.
Ive know about this forum for a long time. But never joined, I've got a 82 golf c that I've had for about 11 years but this month it has been off the road for 10 years. I took it off the road to change the engine from a 1100 to a 1800 gti but I grew up and bought a house so the car never got finished.
Im now in a place to start tinkering again so I've started over the last few weeks putting bits back together.

Ill try try get some pictures when I get in the garage again.

Welcome Richard - look forward to seeing some pics !!

Just hit the add images button to add them :-)

I will do. I will be firing lots of questions at a lot of you brain boxes

welcome, some things in life are worth waiting for...

welcome aboard, get those pics up  

Good to have you here,
You're in good company and it's good to see another one getting fixed up.
Have a trawl through the site and the google search box in the top left is brilliant for finding stuff out.

Once you get going start a new post up in the your projects section, that way you can just keep adding and updating as you go.

Cheers

Welcome!  .

I also own 1.1 Mk1! Will you still be doing the 1.8 GTi conversion?

Hi yes the engine is sat on and I've been doing the wiring over the past few weeks. 

Welcome to the house of MK1 knowledge

welcome

A little 1100 Golf C is prob more interesting and rare these days than another GTI.

90%+ of MK1 Golf hatches still around are GTI's?????

And it will save the hassle of welding in new engine mounts, changing gearbox, drive shafts, exhaust, cooling system, wiring, fuel pumps, suspension, brakes etc.

If you can buy it don't built it? 

I changed the engine over when I was 18 at that age all I wanted was a fast car. if I'd of just been starting it now then I would of left it as it was. I wish someone would of said that to me back then.
