New Here - My MK1
« on: 16 December 2006, 23:59 »
Hi all, just signed up *waves* :)

I am the very proud owner of an Golf MK1 :) & I luv it to bits!

Anyway it's an '83 TinTop (Originally Y reg i believe), i've always been a VW enthusiast (despite only driving for a year and a 1/2) :) I stumbled across this at auction and had to have it.

Was rebuilt & reregistered in 2001 & I have over 600 odd receipts along with a fairly decent history.

I havn't done anything to her at all cosmetically - what you see is how i found her at auction.

Here are some photos:






Long term plans are to:
- Replace Alloys as i'm not a fan of the TSW Stealths that are on there.
- Remove colour coded bumpers & fit small bumpers (preferably chromes - i'm willing to wait ;))
- Replace the ridiculous exhaust, - it's too big for the system anyway and blows slightly

Anyway nice to find another good Vdub forum :)

Well spotted  :wink:

It is indeed a Porsche colour - green variant :)

Just put a new alternator & belt on along with oil change, new oil filter, new coolant, and some B44K Performance flush :)

Got some new alloys on the way as well - (don't tell her though it's a suprise for xmas day!)
