A big thank for all you're comments ,the car is in really good condition with no tin worm in usual places either so I'm a very happy man.
The brakes don't work (pedal goes to the floor). It's a non runner due to the plunger being seized solid in the metering head and a broken fuel pipe (accumulator to main feed line). Other than this its all good.
For those who asked  its done 81250 miles and had 3 owners.
Oh and forgot to say it's a campaign with the 17EW vin number.


Thanks for the email  :thumbs:

Car looks very good indeed, credit to the build quality of a mk1 golf, please dont stick huge wheels on her & drop her to the deck, leave it standard  :cool:

I hope to MOT and tax it for the summer as I've not owned a mk1 for around 17 years and I want to enjoy it. Then I plan to strip her down and give her a rebuild , after my first rebuild I said I would never do it again but here I am about to start another.
Crazy what a MK1 will do to you, they just seem to get in you're blood.

The guy I had the car off has just found the old log book from when he first purchased  it . It says he bought the car in October 1989. It's  been a long time since I've seen one of these  :lol:

Good luck, I was nervous with mine being stored away for so long, but it sailed through, hope yours does the same.

Before I tell, have a guess.
What does everyone think it's worth?? No welding needed anywhere, solid as the day it was born.
I will tell what I gave for it next time I'm on.

I'm guessing you got a right bargain and it was a grand or something like that? - worth a lot more though!  :cool:
