ok so I've owned quite a few VWs in my time including, 2x corrados, 2x mk2 Golf GTIs, a Polo GTI, a Beetle turbo (don't ask) and three other mk1 Golf GTIs, I've been wanting another Mk1 for quite sometime but due to prices increasing and me having a lack of time due to work, I had almost given up on getting another one. Then I was told about a golf that was sat in a lock up for the last 8 years so I thought I'll go to check it out but thought that it will just be another mk2 driver or something, well to my surprise it was a mk1 golf gti in Lhasa green, to cut a long story short a deal was done and I snapped her up.
ive had her for 3 weeks now but I'm putting in quite a bit of time on her in the evenings and weekends so will hopefully be done in a couple of months, famous last words I know ha ha, well the plan is to keep her pretty much original but with a couple of small extras such as wheels, coilovers and exhaust, it will be getting a full respray and everything refurbished, anyway thought I would share my progress and get your opinions on how and what to do to her, pictures are below of how I got her and what has been done so far cheers
below is the day I got her, previous owner (only been two) had removed wings as they had some surface rust on the bottom edges apparently argh
