Alex's GTI Project

[geralis32]

Hey all its about time that i start posting some pics and get some advise from other drivers
i have a 1983 gti mk1 1.8L
i bought the car as a project so i can do something with my time and learn a few things along the way as well
its 2 door and was originally white

This is how i got it ☝

it had a fare bit of rust and damage done to the car, so first part was to fix body work and re paint
i should mention that many of my family and friends are mechanics so did help

i chose to keep it white and re paint it with the candy white which was seen on a lot of great looking mk5's

car in shop



being painted




it has been painted now but haven't taken any photos,
the only pics i have are of the finished doors and boot




more to come soon

I wondered also where it ended up. I am glad it got a home that was deserving.

Was the dealer fit aircon still in it?
