Hey all, hows it going?
Hi,I'm Jarred and I love cars. I've always like cars, mainly anything from the 70's, including Golf mk 1's! I havn't got a mk 1 atm, (i currently drive a Ford Laser - woot.) but i am looking at buying one soon, infact I'm going to look at one this weekend hopefully! It looks really neat and hopefully has no hidden rust! My plans are, wether I get this one or another, is to make it look very 70's; so steelies, plenty of chrome, bit of a retrimmed interior (velour, shagpile?? haha), wood rimmed steering wheel (as off the old passats i think?), lower the suspension a bit, old school roof rack maybe? and go nuts on the engine - eventually. Well atleast, thats the plan!
Heres the like to the car, tell me what you think!

(I hope that works!)
anyways, just thought i'd say hi!

peace
