    my 1.1 golf

    not even a c as poverty a spec as you can get I came accross it whilst looking for a mk2 1.3 for my at the time teenage sister for a first car. This lhasa green mk1(strange in itself as the colour was never available for the model came already fitted with a 1.3 and a 5 speed conversion and with intergalactic 198,000 miles. Appearing solid I bartered the guy down as there was a couple issues with brakes and tyres and tags etc and we agreed a deal. Filling out the forms for transfer and checking the paperwork out the car had remarkably only done up to 48,000miles when the guy fitted the 1.3 and wishing a rev counter swapped out the dials for the rev equipped non-mfa 1.3 dials...immediately adding 150,000 miles but got me a good mk1 for my sister










    but she decided she didnt like it

    so I kept it

    stole the suspension and wheels of my jetta coupe(started an unfortunate trend here )minus 50 springs and renault turbine wheels fitted with 165/50x15s

    wasnt low enough though so using some of the funds from selling my passat estate I bought some fk highsport silverlines(also fitted some tinted indicators,gave the front plate a kick and gave it a clean




    bought some OZ executives,2 piece split rims after an exhaustive search,loved these wheels forever.They came in 7 and 8x15" sizes in a bmw e30 fitment(also painted vw racing green)




    fitted gti spec vented 240's


    and a full stainless


    never air ride

    Man that looks unreal.
    I prefer the renault wheels and that colour looks brilliant.

    Keep up the great work.

    Clean as hell! I love those seats, as well as the Turbines and the colour!
    You've done well building a unique MK1.

    Managed to pick up another couple sets of wheels and parts but progress is a bit slow just now. Hoping my next leave cycle will be a bit more productive. Had to take a couple weeks off there work to let some personal stuff play its course and the motivation took a major hit but. Next trip home im going to try and get some of the new bits on
