Bought mine in desperation as I needed a runaround.

Paid £50 (yes £50) for it-excellent bodywork and 1.6 engine (130k), grubby but unworn interior. Only trouble was after three weeks when the clutch started slipping (replaced) and an inoperative heater.This was sorted for a tenner with a replacement heater bypass valve. Went through the MOT with no faults.

And the VW Savage wheels with excellent Goodyear NCTs were £12.50 the four via ebay. Uprated the clocks to a set with rev counter for £15 (from here).

Bought as a runaround, but love it. Handles so well, but keep thinking about uprating it, as the body and motor are so good. I'd add a photo if i knew how!

Used to have a 1976 Golf which, but i had to scrap it in 1987 because it was completely rusted out & beyond saving

1991 H Plate 1.6 Driver 5 door  in the rare metalic green colour (can't remember the name :sad:)

Uprated headlight loom with Osram Silver bulbs
14inch BBS Alloys & 4 new tyres
