story of my GTI ;) ...
I want to show you couple photos of my white mk1 GTI `83 1.6 original mileage 218 000km……I bought it one month ago, from women who didn`t know what a super car she had ….price was ~ 400euro …..car is in rader good condition, but you know….has a 22 years and isn`t ideal, I want to do from my gti a original version, but light tuned becouse in golf will be sport suspension…..much lowered…80/80 now I must buy all parts which are in GTI equipment…..
photos…..

Good luck with your restoration ! It looks like you have some nice alloy wheels waiting to be fitted in one of the photos. Are you in Poland ? I was in Poznan just a couple of weeks ago (work). Didn't see any modified cars, but saw quite a few VW's …….
All the best,
Mark

Thats a late 1.6 GTI, thought they were superseded by the 1.8 in 1982? Are you planning to stick with the 1.6 engine for light tuning? I'm planning the same with my 1981 1.6 (also white), once I have welded up all the holes . Be interested to hear how it all goes - good luck.

Hello!
It looks like you have some work ahead of you!
Is it easy to get parts for the Mk1 out in Poland?
Good luck with the car and welcome to the forum!

thanks for comments
markwon……you right….but my version is original 1.6 engine gt from `83 i…..I don`t know why….but it`s true :dontknow: maybe it was mistake of VW
I keep engine serial……from light tuning only will be sport suspension, front lights with black crosess, black front indicators and I think black rear lights…..ofcourse not sprayed…..but original black products in engine I only want to fit cone air filter by K&N becouse sound with cone filter in gti is amazing 8O
AL_Mk1…..in poland used parts for mk1 are rader rare….. :roll: especially for GTI or oder special mk1 :? I can buy a lot of new parts…..with no problems…. for example GTI/GX/Formel E front spoiler costs 25euro 8)

I bought the black one only for parts, becouse I paid only 100euro, engine is very good, but everything else is in very bad condition, I have no documents fot it…..
In black GTI are also original seats which after little renovation will fit in my white golf

Nice looking collection of new parts there, micab. Hows the restoration going? Didn't you say you know the other guy from Poland who posts on here (think he posts as vwman?), restoring a GX. He hasn't posted for a while, do know how he's doing with is restoration?
Cheers
