Mk1 Golf in brief so far

[GiT]

Choice car Missus... MK1 Golfs are a riot!

 

[Laura]

my old one

 

[Laura]

fuuuuuuu - 4 week wait on the carpet

 

[Laura]

terrible pics but some wheels we tried on... i dont like them tho, too much poke at the front

 

[Brookie.]

It's taking a while, but all good things do!
Can't wait to see it finished.

 

[Ali]

Looking forward to seeing the finished article!

 

[Laura]

no one is looking forward to it as much as i am lol

its been a long time coming

 

[Christopher]

Are they genuine Works? It's hard to tell from those pics. lol

I like them!

 

[Laura]

no unfortunately they are rotas, but i dont like the front fitment, just looks odd to me lol

 

[Christopher]

:dapprove:

 

[Laura]

i dunno what i want, tbh there isnt anything left in the budget for wheels atm but if the right ones come up i dont want to pass them up

 

[Paddy_g46]

out of interest, why did you not go down the route of a more powerful engine. Wouldn't have been much more difficult.

 

[Laura]

because its a mk1, its not about big power heavy engines, it about small block revvy gokart fun.

its my little fun car thats going to get thrown round country lanes like a rag dol, its light and equally balenced and all about fun not figures

i have my big engined 3.0 litre car.

 

[seb]

are you based in kent now Laura? I thought you where up north.

 

[Laura]

Still up north just got alot of friends down south now... its only a matter of time before i end up down there lol

 

[fUbAr]

Are you going to VolksWorld show next weekend? (obviously not in the golf...)

 

[Laura]

no plans to, ive not been to any shows for a while now tbh.

 

[fUbAr]

Im going Type2 hunting

 

[Laura]

get a splitty!!

 

[fUbAr]

Indeed, thats the plan. I don't want to spend years having to restore it though... so £££ are needed to buy one thats been done already.

Probably end up with an early model bay window.

 

[Laura]

I actually sometimes prefer the early bays to the split So I'll allow that

[Dweeb]

[Laura]

Mines having the smaller splitter, nea to keen on the snow plough look in all honesty

[Christopher]

Awesome wheels! Anything except f*cking Rotas.

 

[Laura]

Just £500 but i guess they are worth it

 

[fUbAr]

They look great!

 

[Laura]

[Winston]
