Project: '76 Golf GL - the resto begins!

[Jarred]

Hard decision to make, but I can defiantly understand it! Be wary though, that even mk 1 will have rust! it's pretty much a garuentee, due to thier age really.

Shame to hear, maybe one of the other boys up there want's to pick it up though???

We have decided that it would be easier to part the vehicle as parts and purchase another one that is in much better condition than this current one.

Although it can be repaired, we started this as a budget project. As Jon previously mentioned, both of us are new to dubs and our first one has been rather bumpy and quiet troublesome.

Hopefully by parting out the good parts, we can put some money towards another better condition MkI. It's a pity to see this car go but we thoroughly reckon that it would be in both it's best interest and ours.

If this is your first go at restoring a car you're probably right. No sense getting yourself in too deep. It's good that you have a budget.

Good luck with finding a better one. They are out there. To be quite honest, they're like buses, if you miss one, another will come along soon.

Yeah you want a car that some old person has had and that is original.

There are still 2 doors out there too.

That pillar is pretty bad. Might be a good decision to run at this point.
Pity you primered all the rest up.

That's a great pity, but I guess it's the best choise for you and your budget. If I were in your shoes, I would buy a MK1 after 1979/80 'cause they have a much better rust-precaution.

I wish you good luck in search of a better MK1.
