Hi everyone, I'm John, lived in essex all my long years, had a mate when I was younger who had a Golf GTi Mk1 which I always liked. Always had a hankering for one but never got round to getting one.....Until now!
Anyway I bought one from evilbay a few weeks ago for £405 and i'm well chuffed with it. Its a 1990 1.6 Golf Driver with 61,000 on the clock and only two previous owners
No rot or rust but does have one small dent in the rear and a few small scrapes and parking pin dents
Its taken a bit of cleaning but its starting to look good now.
This is how it was when I got it:
And its a bit tidier now:
Actually better than that now as it had a real good polish everywhere and all the trim blacked again. Wanted a 5 door for the kids
I have some questions:
I want to fit a set of Ronal Turbo alloys to it. These come with two different offsets, 28 and 37. Which one do I need for my model to go over standard brakes etc with 205/50x15 tyres on and wheres the best place to buy a set with tyres, online or local?
Secondly, I'd like a better interior, mine is minty condition but it doesnt hold you in very well and could do with an upgrade. Whats the easiest interior upgrade (seats and doorcards) to get/look out for?
Cheers
