Small update.
Over the weekend I managed to purchase another golf as a parts car.
Once again Matt (Hiho) was the seller and as usual he gave me a good run down on the car, as well as a great deal!
I finally got good rust-free rear guards and tail section, as well as a rust free hatch.
Matt assured me that this shell is definitely not worth saving and I can see why, so I won't feel too bad about cutting it apart. Although there is always sadness when a mk1 dies.
Since this car will end up in the scrap yard, I might have a go at cutting the roof off it. Hopefully by doing this I'll get a good idea of how to put one back on, and may even be tempted to replace the skin on the orange on.
Along with the car came some bigger drums for the rear and some other bits and bobs that I need.
All in all was definitely a good buy, especially considering that the $150 that I paid for it wouldn't even get me a quarter of the bits I needed if I bought them separately.
Very happy and keen to get cutting
