My Mk1, Low Wide and Lumpy

**GRN_VAGN** · 15-09-2009, 07:10 PM

So i have had this Mk1 for about 4-5 weeks now.
As far as i know the previous owner is a member on here, so here goes.

1979 (i think) 4 Door Mk1 Golf

Engine
1.6L
Free Oil leaks and a Airleak.
Sports Filter

Inside
Carpeted Dash with 4" speakers where vents were.
Chrome Gear Nob

Body
Flares
Badge less Grill
Badge Less Tail Gate
GTi (i think) duckbill spoiler thingy

Rolling Gear
Firmer shocks
Lowered Springs

Wheels

15X7 Speedy Rims with 195/50 tyres
and 13x7 Superlites with 175/70 tyres..

Plans are to just drive it at the moment.
But will Chuck in the 1.8L and 5 speed i got for it.
redo flares better, and paint the same green, or close enough
Tidy inside, new carpet, custom trims, find the plastic trim gear that holds the parcel shelf on. Better suspension gear ect.

Here are some pics, she is rough, but she will be loved soon enough

Rear Fitment

One with the Daily rims on

Regards
Dan

Cheers mate,

Bit of a learning curve really, never had a FWD before
Only ever had RWD, so all this FWD stuff is new,

but im getting there, fixed a few small things. But being Winter and in Tassy the weather has been **** house, so once summer kicks in the work will begin
