Title: Former Mk1 GTi Owner - Coming back to my senses
Post by: sjuggins on 11 December 2009, 23:02
Hello all,

Just thought I'd take a quick moment to say hello.

I'm a former Mk1 GTi owner, in fact I had 3 in a row 12+ years ago.  I started with an 83 Y Reg Lhasa Green 1.8 GTi which got totalled by some daft girl T-boning me on a roundabout.  I then went straight out and purchased another Mk1 GTi this time in Alpine white and then sold that on to buy a Silver campaign model.

I've had well over 40+ cars over the years, all of them performance motors and mainly either VW's or BMW's.  However, I now find myself being drawn back to my youthful days and pining for a Mk1 again  :D

I really fancy restoring a Mk1 to the state I always wanted, but unfortunately couldn't afford to commit to.  Now I'm older and wiser I think it's now time to find the donor and get started!

So if you have or know of a GTi for sale in need of restoration, please drop me a PM.  I'm looking to spend around £500-£1000 and don't mind the condition really, it's going to be treated and pampered to a bare metal respray and fully rebuilt from the ground up.  Engine yet to be decided.

Thanks a lot,
Stu.
