15 and have a first car

hi im luke and have just found out that my dad has brought me a first car (mark 1 golf)

its a bit off a project needing an engine,wiring,dashboard,seats,interior front wings….perfect body though no welding needed
what do you think???

Nice one mate, I think it will keep you busy and out of trouble   .

And the best thing is you will have a nice car at the end of it if you crack on and get it done.

looks nice mate , any plans ,
ive got an engine for sale if you are after one , look at the for sale section .

that looks pretty good! wish my dad had got me one when i was 15!

what parts do you need?

and what are your plans?

Sure is mate.  Good base as the lack of sunroof means one less leak   … therefore stopping one of the things that make the mk1 rot over many years.

Plus… with a little 1.1… you can upgrade the engine over the years to something more powerfull when you build up your no claims discount.
