Hello

I've been very rude to you all!

I joined the forum back in 2006 when I bought my 1984 Cabrio GTi and I've never posted on here ever.  The Golf only had a matter of days worth of MOT left on it when I bought it and failed it's 1st MOT on quite a lot, but rather than a quick fix and run it, I decided to make a project out of it and fit a 16v engine.

I still have that Golf and it's sat in the garage since 2006. I've fitted the 16v 1800 engine, added electronic fuel injection with a Megasquirt and an ABF intake and also some other bits and bats, but the project stalled.

I intend to spend some more time on here and get the project rolling again this year.

So, Hello. And I apologise for my rudeness.

Dan.

Haha, you're not rude Dan! Dannyr  (we're just as bad for not having welcomed you yet!)

Thanks for coughing up for membership - hopefully you're starting to see some of the discounts that you can benefit from?

Nice to know you still have the MK1 - best you get some pics up for us to look at  

Will you be bringing it along to our annual meet in July?

Get on aboard fella,

start a project post in the projects forum and get some pics up. we love peoples projects.

Sounds like you've been busy the last few years or so.

Enjoy.

The state it's in a the moment, I can't see it, you'll understand why when I get some photos up. To say I've had it 9 years progress is poor. It is running but needs new rear arches, a lot of dent removing and I'm planning a re-spray. The interior is the dated 80's brown and tweed, so I plan an interior revamp as well. The hood's had it's day as well, so that need replacing.

I'm thinking about it, but my progress is so slow I think people would loose interest.

I've just been blessed with the birth of my second daughter, so I need a decent 4 seat car now for myself, and thinking the cabrio is as good as any. I'm hoping this is enough impetus to maintain a steady progress.

Congratulations on the birth of your second Daughter and the fact your going to breath new life into your Golf Mk1!  
Look forward to seeing some pictures of how it looks now and as it develops.  

Ah fair enough Danny, hopefully you'll have it sorted soon enough
