Hi lads thanks for the help so far you have been great.  yea I would prefere a cab but id easily have a normal MK1.

www.vwgolfmk1.org.uk   Never knew this existed so cheers for the link rusty

I clocked the one on volksone the other day but I would like a GTI.  I know im probibly being too picky but id just regret it if I didnt get a GTI.

Cheers for all your help so far tho lads!

picky is how we should be.

decide exactly what you want and don't want before you start looking.

i knew i didnt want power steering
didn't want an electric hood.
i wanted elec windows
wanted it pretty muhc standard so there has been less messed about with,
mechanically ok with 6 months plus mot and some tax.
bodywork to be solid with possible few bits to repair but not pressing.

this basically meant that i was getting a runner as i needed it to replace my written off mk2. and only being able to run one car.

Decide what you want and keep looking til you find it as it is out there.

and don't forget anyprobs you have use the search function up top, as someone has already had the issue before you ;)

Thanks for all the info han.  As I said when I spoke to you earlier I couldn't make you a offer on yours because of the fact that I don't have that much money to spend at the moment.  What I need is a project so im not really that bothered if it isn't a runner just as long as it doesn't need too much engine work and I wont be driving it stait away so tax and mot is not essential.  Basically I want to rescue a run down cab.  I have a MK4 and a MK2 but the mk2 is going up for sale soon; that was a rescue job. Once I have got a MK1 and restored it I then want to use it as my daily driver (no matter how much the missus complaines!) and sell the MK4.  Its not that long until most MK1's will not require road tax so I may be able to run both of them. 

Anyways keep a eye out for us lads and ladies and hopefully ill get one soon!
