Nice 1.3 golf driver:thumbsup: Shame about the illegal no. plates tho:thumbdown:

Dan, that is loverly mate, a real beauty!!

I love the Mk1 chassis but for me it's always been a Mk2 Scirocco shell built on to it.

I have a really tidy 1990 MK1 GTi cab which I should wash and post up.

Yeah, but Dan doesn't have to hide that Rabbit, his other one he does!!

MHeadling 22-10-2010 04:55 PM

Very nice Mk1! Do you have a link for more pics etc?

Chrislong 22-10-2010 05:28 PM

I went on holiday to south africa about nine years ago and hired a car which was a brand new Rabbit, didnt know what it was until I saw it a brand new mk 1 golf I was amazed. That does look good mate.

antnee 23-10-2010 02:04 PM

NOICE! Do you go to many VW shows? Haven't noticed this about

Alfonzo 25-10-2010 11:56 AM

That took me back a few years. I had three Mk I's including a mint 1.6gti. I knackered the big ends on it cause it ran low on oil (burnt it quicker than petrol!). Happy memories though (mostly :lol:)

wezzer 25-10-2010 12:49 PM

sor right i spose ;-)

Danosborne6661 30-10-2011 06:03 PM

Thought I'd chuck another photo up seeing as I'm trying to avoid uni work at the moment :p

I'm living away at the moment so the Golf is off the road! I'm back occasionally where I am hope to be working on my engine conversion :O No more 1.3! It'll be a 2.0 litre 16v on Kawasaki ZX9R motor bike carbs. I've got the majority of the bits, it's just putting in the time when I'm back home now :D

Quite a few bit's have changed since those photos, I've now got Porsche Boxster tombstone seats and the biggest difference which is probably the small series 1 bumpers rather than the big plastic ones, cool huh!

Upcoming plans will be to get the engine in even though I don't really know what I'm doing and a full respray in Audi Ibis white which is a much fresher white than the old musty whites :)

Sorry whoever complained about having illegal registrations, but I don't even have a front one on in this photo :blush:

Danosborne6661 10-05-2012 03:15 PM

Thought I'd do a bit of a update as I'm bored of doing uni work at the moment :D The car's been under going an engine conversion when I've been back at home..

That's it for now! I only get to work on it when I'm back in Bristol, which isn't that often at the moment. Make's me sad not having it on the road at the moment :(

Big G 10-05-2012 04:01 PM

more silver paint needed on that engine. the alternator still looks used lol

I painted my 20vT lump before putting it back in and it looked brand new when it was under the bonnet again

Danosborne6661 10-05-2012 04:12 PM

Yeap haven't painted the silver bits yet, they've just been cleaned up a little :) That's another one for the to do list :P
