Good morning all, I've just signed up to your forum as this weekend I bought my first Mk1 Golf (well the missus has) - it is a 1991 cabriolet with 151k on the clock. It's in great condition and has a new roof. I've always wanted a Mk1 but never really wanted a Cabriolet but when a friend of mine offered it for only 1500e we couldn't say no. I currently drive a Mk4 GT TDI as my daily.

It needs a few things sorting like flexi brake hoses, cambelt looks very old, missing one wheel centre cap (and can't find one anywhere).

There is very little information with the car and i don't know much about the Mk1's. I have put the registration Into a few websites and it comes up with 1.8 112bhp. This is the single point injection engine right? different to the GTI yes?

Thanks a lot for your help so far, the site has been very useful!

Gareth

Thought i'd get a pic up. Haven't done much yet, bought a new petrol cap as the old one was broken, changed coolant, oil and filter change and replaced the rocker cover gasket as it was leaking like mad - mainly due to a previous owner being to tight to buy a new gasket and trying to seal it with RTV  :ocf_emoticons__BangHead:I also refitted a lot of the trim as some of it was starting to come away (RTV had been used again)





I've got the cambelt kit ready but waiting on friend to help with that, looks like its not been done in a very long time as the belt is very shiney! Also need a new front numberplate holder and 1 centre cap for the wheels but can't find these anywhere!
