First mk1 cabriolet

Hello,

My name is Veronica and I've just brought my first Mk1 cabriolet ;-). Seemed to have picked up a real gem after looking around up and down the country for months. Guess what? it was right under my nose and I had driven past it for a few weeks!!!!!!!! I couldn't believe it. It does require a little bit of work, both bumpers missing but seen them on eBay ;-)

Any advice will be helpful! I have checked all the usual suspect places but please share any advice you can ;-)

Anyway, thought I'd say hi.

welcome aboard, get some pics up, theres loads of knowledge on here, dont be afraid to ask

   

x2 welcome along and get some pics up

hi veronica, and welcome, i recently bought a cabbrio too, which also needs a bit of work doing on it, have fun driving and hope to see you next year at the shows.

Thank you for making me welcome ;-) this is the first time I've used a forum (usually just leave it to the other half) but as it's my car, thought why not! So working on getting some pics up, haven't got a clue what photobucket is    

This is is a tester pic to see if I'm doing this correctDoes anyone know why I. Getting a message saying I have 0.00mb allowance?? cf_emoticons__BangHead:

Fingers crossed this works

Looking great. I've just got my first cabriolet and a bit nervous to start working on her as i have no experience with cars. I've been doing loads of research and this forum is great for helping.  Good luk to us both

Thanks Taran,

Any pics of yours? One thing I do know is these are pretty basic mechanically, so just make a note of what you remove so you know where to put it back!

I've had a quick scout through other conversations and it seems everyone is willing to help, so don't be scared to ask!

Good luck to you too    hope to meet some people at some shows next year

love the wheels, looks great, just needs bumpers to finish off and they are simple to fit and easily available

       

I don't have any pics at the moment, by the time I finish work it's dark. I'm givin her a clean this weekend so il post some then. It's a good job there helpful coz I've loads of questions to ask later on hah. 

Hi Veronica and welcome along to the forum. Get some pics up when you can Smudger

Thanks, wheels definitely need a refurb but they are the least of my worries at the momentlol. Been looking for some bumpers but just want Classico ones not that big bumper malarkey    just put a thread up in general chat as roof needs replacing. It's not leaking water but don't want to leave it to get to that stage. I've put a pic up too ( have a look). Just ordered bumpers, should get them tomorrow

I'll keep an eye out for your motor over the weekend Taran!

I'm wanting replace my roof as well. So if you come across any info on roofs please post it up  

Veronica welcome!
If you need any advise what so ever, this is the place to ask.
Even if you think it's a silly little question because we've all been surprised or caught out at some time or other, trust me.  

There's more VW Golf MK1 knowledge at this Club then there is at VW, no joke!    

More pictures please.  

looks good

This is so helpful guys but think it's well out of my league   also, time is a bit of a problem ( never enough)  saved some money on buying the car so thought I'd treat it to a new hood too  

Hi Guys, been a busy couple of months. Note not enough time in the day/ weekend! But I am pleased to say I have tidied her up better than I thought.

have a look!!!! Any suggestions welcome. Let's hope the photos upload lol

Also,, got the steering wheel to put on ;-)
