As the title says........ and came across a couple of pics of some of the Mk1's i had when i was young

I had a collection going for parts and spares although most are in a better place now the blue one might still be kickin round someware (last i knew it was in brisbane )

had your fair share of mk 1's. respect.

The blue one is the reason i ended up with a few Mk1's as back then i didnt know about the internet which made my world very small and difficult for parts.
Im sure il find a few more pics of another few i had aswell

It wasnt anything too exciting .......1.9ltr , single 45dcoe webber ,5spd and a few things like cam and electric ignition. I loved it to death and kinda makes me want to get another one as the throaty sound you could hear from the carbi sucking in air under WOT was cool and it was fun to drive

Scanned a few more ..................Kinda scary at the time seeing that i totaly passed the point of no return and was young ,stupid and had little money

If i had my time again with it i would have done alot of things differntly but beeing the first car i ever painted and never having picked up any spray gear befor i lernt as i went , i think i did ok.

I had a Golf out at a friends property for a while i absoluetly tortured the poor thing and it was the cause of alot of weekends of fun ploughing through small trees ,shallow creeks and even getting it up onto 2 wheels when a tyre came off while the car was sideways off a track

It had a carbie that i "made fit" to the inlet by die grinding it while it was still in the car ,lots of duct tape and a can of WD40 to either make things move or to try n get water out of things after hitting a creek at the wrong angle......Fun days and with all those memories how could i not buy another golf.
