Hi all !!! Just starting out on my Golf Adventure !!
« on: 06 November 2005, 21:26 »
Hi, just thought I'd use this forum to say Hello !!

Had a 83 Golf Mk1 C for a couple of months now and have decided to start modifying it in the near future !!!

I've been modifying cars since before I started driving (Mini) and have mostly had Turbo's (Reno 5 x 2, Cavalier 4x4, Celica GT4) But I've decided its time for a change !!

I've had a 5 GTT in Max power and on the cover of Redline (in my yoof  :rolleyes:) and I've gotta say I'm over all that Chavy crap now so its time for some quality  :wink:

My latest R5 is quite tastefully modded with Ronals and no stick on fiberglass tat, Oh 182 bhp aswell !! Here it is :-

www.rtoc.org/library/default.asp?id=2043

I'm gonna be selling the 5 soon as I've finished the engine bay and hopefully had it featured so that I can fund my Golf project.

I'll post pictures the golf as soon as my album is ok'd by the mods.

Gonna be fitting a 2.0 16v, respray (original colour), lowered and maybe some new wheels. Whatevers left will go on engine mods - TBs would be nice but we'll see  :laugh:

Look forward to coming to some meets in the spring and I'll probably be doing a project section once I start on the Golf.

Hi, Thanks for the welcome  :smiley:

Ryoung - Yeah I know Haz - He's put all the stuff from the van into a little white Campus. Looks normal except for lowered and alloys, but its running 1.7 Turbo !!!! Proper street sleeper !!!!  :laugh:

Heres the piccies of my golf  :smiley:













Bought for the princly sum of £325 with 3 months Tax and only 81k !!!
No rust on it anywhere except where the screws held the rear number plate on - only a bubble !!! Garaged for 12 years and used as a weekly shop car by an old lady  :smiley:

Bought it because its an excellent shell that I knew would be worth having for a future project - like I'm about to do !!! Been using it to go to and from work for the last few months, totally reliable !!!

I love it !!!!

Welcome to the forum.  :smiley: mk1 looks like a bargain and a good base for a project. I'm sure I've seen pics of your mk1 and that R5T on the t'interweb somewhere else.  :undecided:
......now officially dubless.

Hi, I got the Golf off ebay, thats probably where you've seen it ? Was £400 buy it now but I phoned him up and we had a chat about me taking it off his hands straight away  :wink: :grin:

I posted a link on here a while ago in a discusion about wheels so thats probably where you've seen my 5.
