Lachlans mk1 golf project.

[blumtns]

Hello my name is Lachlan, i am 17 and I am a 1st year fitter and machinist.
this is my golf. apart from the rust i love it! ( ive had geminis before with lots of rust )
I had been searching for a mk1 for about 6 months now. seen a few on ebay but were pretty expensive. I found this one on someones property in the bush. went in, said hello and i got it for free!
please excuse my poor grammar and spelling as well.
The plans as the usual spec Mk1 golf slammed on BBS with some a nice as engine bay.
i am new to the whole euro tuning stuff so i dont know too much just yet. i have a ke30 Sr20 project as well.
here's some starter photos.

argh the good old silver, the colour that automatically guarantees rust. good project though

Great find mate!

Great to see another mk1 getting some love (especially a diesel!) Theres not many silver mk1s left for obvious reasons so it would be amazing to see one come back to life!

Check out the diesels section aswell for more engine related stuff

[blumtns]

also dont know wether or not to keep the diesel. micks convinced me a 16v is the way to go. dont know yet.

good to see you're taking on this build and the machining trade, need more machinist around
