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.
