Project power house - Coilovers fitted
So saw this on ED38, yes am aving that. Where a ya from I say…..Portsmouth!!! Christ! 560 mile round trip here I come. So off I went, my good freind kindly offered to tek me down, wish she didnt now
Drove the 1981 golf n 1.1 all the way back from Portsmouth to Yorkshire. Not a nice journey, the carbs dodgy as hell. Requires the choke been on for it to run and it doesnt like to idle, and front driver wheel bearing must be non existant, as it meks a rate racket. Then the aerial for the radio is duff, and the CD player wudnt play my copied CD's…nooooo! The only station I could get on the radio, probably the worst station ever……..classic FM. Must admit I'm up on some classic mozart now :wink: 8)
Things it needs
Wing and door
Rocker gasket
Aerial
Carb sorting
Wheel bearing
Other than that the car is actually pretty mint. The only rust is a tiny bit on the back panel near the tow eye, and a tiny bit on the back arch
It has only 2 owners from new, me been the 3rd. 65k miles. Every single MOT from new, every tax disc from new. Original bill of sale from new. Everything that it needed doing it went to a VW garage, and have about a thousand reciepts for this lol Every single bit ya get when its new it has, booklets, owners handbook etc
Plans are to make it mint, wide ass wheels. Keeping it simple

No its not bent, the door still works fine it just has a massive wack in it
Obviously worth having a good look at the base of it, when you remove the wing and door for repair/replacement though. From the pics, the sill looks straight.

Just stripped engine bay out a bit, found the carb problem. Got a oil leak somewhere so cleaned engine down, nice, clean and dry now so gotta find where that leak is coming from. Think its either coming from the crank pulley or sump
The plans are
Wide ass wheels to get a mega stance
Painting the outside of the grill red
All red rear lights
Keeping it simple and clean really
Just need to source a genuine wing and a door

Ave got a massive grin on me face now aswell. Theres a little VW auto place in my village like 5 min walk from mine. Thought I'd pop in and try if he got a passenger door. The only mk1 panel he has…..and its a passenger door. Thats absolute mint condition, no rust at all. ?50 he wants. Loving it!
