Tidy car, it reminds me of my mums old gold one.

2 problems though, too many doors & not enought engine, is there a 20vT conversion on the horizon?

got a little girl and one on the way, makes sense :wink:

Nippy enough as she is but would love to do a conversion, kids = lack of time and money.

few sub mods to be done and thats it. she is all original apart from the wheels. but i have them at work. even have the centres for them :tongue:

thanks for the comment.

cheers

Nice one matey, looks sweet. I love mk1s and have always had a soft spot for them regardless of them being GTI's or not.  :cool: I'm loving the chrome touches to it too.  :grin:

I have the brochure that came with it, orange 1983 one, all Gal's in there and none of them have the wheels, only steal ones with the centres. Only one golf in there with em on and thats the git.

Gibby: the chrome is standard, should be some on the bumpers (Top and bottom) but missing :rolleyes:
