Hi and welcome! Looks like the makings of a good project you have there!
I'm not sure on the steering rack, can't recall if the usual UK suppliers stock power steering ones, guess they would.
Sure someone here has the answer.
Keep us posted on your project with photos! 8)
Cheers
Andy

SUre i will show some upgrades with project (when i have them )
About steering:
My golf is Left hand drive so is it possible to get some parts in uk? I can try to buy rack from usa, but shipping to Latvia will be too expensive.
I think i just try to get rack from some other car.. I heard that opel corsa rack can be modified to fit Mk1?!

Welcome
Nice to see you're getting stuck in on the golf.
You could maybe try http://www.typ-17.de/ for LHD specific parts.
