mk1 Golf 1.3 Driver
Discussion
Got it back in 2004, from a car sales place across the road from the flat I was living in at the time
Next to my brothers Matt's mk1
Needed some work for MOT ... fair bit of rot between the inner & outer rear arch .. & around the seat belt mount .. so put Matt to work (he does paint & bodywork for a living)
Then onto lower front panel & wings
Rear arch repairs & tidy up on the lower rear panel
Full re-spray on the outside
It's first day back on the road .. I can't remember how long it took to be honest :blush:
Finished ... "ish"
Had it on some 14 inch MSW wheels for a while ... not low enough to make aftermarket wheels "work"
Managed to get hold of the correct steel wheels ... 5.5x13 & et38 (same as early GTI wheels)
Had no record of a head gasket change in the history folder, so sorted that, cleaned the bay up a bit & got our Matt to paint some parts for me
Took it out to a VW show in the snow the other year
Today ... been off the road for the past 3 years, due to track days 1st year, Sapphire Cosworth the 2nd & skint last year
Needs the carb looking at because it does not want to idle & brakes looking at ... should not be too bad to get the MOT sorted as it's been stored in a dry garage
..
Other job's to do this year are re-trim on the drivers seat (worn bolster) & pull the engine out to paint the block etc.
