series 1 golf LS-GREEEEEN
been ages since iv posted up on here
so anyway here is my mk1 golf LS,bought it off ebay this time last year,set off from sheffield to pick it up from guildford at 7am and returned home the next day at 3am,the worlds worst journey stuck on the m1 for 9 hours in snow.its fun driving an mx5 in snow though 8) my dad drove the golf and suprisingly it didnt miss a beat.was all worth it in the end
when i picked it up,
the next day
mx5 shows how bad the snow was
started playing around with wheel ideas and ordered coilovers,
these didnt give the look i wanted so they went back on the mx5 and i bought a set of ronal turbos,
coilovers got fitted too,
now its looking a bit more how i want it,but that old raspy 1.3 engine wasnt thrilling me
but i wanted to go for something different,small but fast.so i modified a 1.3 polo gt engine with a 1.6 golf engine
1.6 golf head and block,modified inlet manifold for polo gt mpi with mk2 gti bigger injectors,polo gt ignition,ecu,gearbox etc
basically a 1.6 gt,and it suprised me how much torque and go it had
so in it went,with straight through exhaust system
time to take it to the pod for big bang
some general pics now
thanks for looking and hope you like it,im currently fixing up the interior now as its off the road for winter
i will keep updating as i go along,
also how rare is this colour?i havnt seen any other mk1s the same shade of green
the colour is santos grun
cheers

definately a driver model. My sister had one in 89 exact same colour.
The early drivers only came in 3 colours I'm sure. This bright green, yellow and orange.
all like hens teeth now.
