Mk1 Golf

[sports racer]

unfortunately i'm a little stubborn and love the look and rawness of an earlier model engine like the 16v

Me too. Here's mine.



Build thread from when I bought it is here.

78 2-Door Build Thread

Ben has a 16v MK1 he's selling. He said he was going to get in touch with you.

That MK1 on Gumtree is worth a look, has all the gear you want in a daily but you have to check for rust. Anything mechanical can be replaced but rust has to be cut out, new pieces welded in, prepped and painted. It's a long job and a lot of work. If that MK1 is pretty rust free it's definitely worth getting.

Ever thought of getting a MK2 GTI as a daily? I know one for sale that drives to Canberra from Braidwood and back every day.

Cheers

PS. Still looking for a 16v head for your KR? I might be able to help you there.

that is a sweet car, a lot of effort went into that one, i was even thinking of buying it. but no money At least it went to a good home.

oh yes, i remember Ben, how could i forget. the only problem is i am interested in just the motor.

yeah rang up about that Mk1, and he had just sold it (sucks)

unfortunately i'm not a fan of the shape of the Mk2's (no disrespect, they are great cars, just not my taste).

I did find one from camden gti, but it needs a bit of work and machining (what did you have in mind?)

cheers
