Yes yes yes!!!!!!

Lovin the work!!!

Want a Caddy in the bodyshop?

does look proper smart, really liking it, would be a shame to have a forced induction engine in something that old skool, twin 45 carbs on a 16v perhaps?

ill be even happier if your running a mint lookin 8v gti engine on carbs original with a twist

you dad is a legend like as said before I've still not washed the spunk stains from my screen after seing teh derby

It wasn't bad at all, just needed 2 wings and 2 rear arches and a small piece welding in at the bottom of the spare wheel well, couple of dents in the roof but nothing major. thats about it. it had only done 47,000 :-D

This is seriously making me want a mk 1 golf dude, going to Devon to look at a 1.1 next week cos of you! lol

You got anymore pics of it?

mk1 is awesome,

photo skills are ace as well

You and your dad make me sick........ jealousy only obviously. Only just twigged what car it is that your dad owns and it makes me feel like going to torch my car and just start walking instead.

Can't wait to see what this is like in the end. Garage, skills, patience and a sweet camera FTW!!

:-D

few more pics with a bit of glass in it just to make you a bit more sick demolover

Car looks absolutely amazing!! I cannot wait to see what the finished article will be like......

I am actually being sick right now.....you made me ill, think about it!!

I would have a Mk1 golf iff they wernt so darn expensive for 1 in a desent condition ...

Unless you find a granny that doesnt know what she has . I know of a cpl of em knocking about in my area ... "Hello madam would you like to trade your old car for a lovely Ford Ka with electric windows and power steering nice and light gearbox" lol

I was planning on a Mk2 but cars like this persuade me to go out of my way to get 1 . Mk2's can be found cheap in my case i could get 1 for almost free there beutiful cars but meh Mk1's are like too cool for school !

This is a awsome build thread mate .. I am impressed .. Going to be a beutiful car when it is finnished ...

love the work that has been done on this mk1 golf, looking fwd to seeing the finished project.

makes me feel like getting another mk1 now.

love build threads like this. great stuff!!!
