Title: New member Mk1 golf back to life 20v conversion
Post by: Dans mk1 16v on 06 March 2013, 23:15

Hi there new account as my old details was lost/forgotten some time ago.
Been into golfs for the past 12 years,in that time I've managed to own 9 golfs gti,vr6,8v,16,mk2,mk3,mk4 mrs has mk5 tdi and i now drive an s3 daily.But I still hadn't accomplished my goal of converting a mk2 golf to a 1.8t.

About 4 years ago I had the opportunity to buy a mk1 golf that a friend had thrown a few thousand at and lost interested,this was the perfect opportunity for me as,I had just finished buying a property that came with 2 single garages out back,so I waved bye bye to my 16v mk2 golf,and along came my mk1 2.0 16v.

After putting the car on the road and taking it out for a few weekends I became quite quickly board of the power and was back to square one but with a solid base.THE CAR THEN SAT FOR 3 YEARS

Since this years has started all focus has gone back on the golf again 16v been removed 1.8t installed.
Once site moderator has approved i will start build thread (http://i1288.photobucket.com/albums/b495/dansmk1turbo/3CAF9C58-5A1E-48A3-A4D1-EF830B2ED12F-1123-000000C796BD74F2_zps35712678.jpg)

Still a hell of a lot more work to do but one day she'll be finished....lol..
