![]() been browsing this forum for a few years just realised i've never registered.. i'm never a big poster anyway, just love to lurk and intake all the information i can get.. as normally any questions i've got have normally been answered a hundred times, i just know how to use the search functions..
anyway.. this is my baby when i bought her in 2009, i've had a few mk1's before including my first car but had a brief hiatus experimenting with other car makers and travelled the world for a couple of years but this ebay whilst i was in jamaica and picked her up on my first day back in the UK.. ![]() i didn't do much to her apart from the 15" pirellis and just enjoyed a very reliable and fun car to drive for a couple of years.. i then decided to change the coolant one day and it gave me problems ever since, always overheating and not running right.. i tried to diy fix her regularly but ended up sourcing a GTI Engineering engine last year so lifted out the old and in with the new.. since then i've bought a lot of little bits and pieces for her and will slowly be rebuilding her over the next month ready for the Mk1 golf owners club agm, ![]() I'm currently on the lookout for an oettinger 8v valve cover and happich rear windows to finish her off.. i will be taking her to wolfsburg this year and want to visit either M.I.V.W or the mk1 watercooled.nl meet later this year! i will get better pics up but they are scattered across different sites and devices.. cheers chris |

![]() hi thanks for the welcomes, wish i could speak dutch to get more involved as having to rely on google translate is terrible..
![]() so, i managed to get hold of the valve cover i was after.. been waiting for ages and then 3 came up at once! ..still waiting for delivery, does anyone know if they fit on with the original nuts? I designed some stickers to go on my speedo and rev counter, i like the look of them, not sure if i put the speedo needle back on correctly so might have to do it again on some sportline clocks i got hold off.. (pic wastaken before i moved needle to otherside of pin) ![]() also refurbed my rear badges that will go on my de-badged tailgate.. ![]() and reproduced some period tax discs from my favourite tuner.. ![]() Last edited by litlekris : 08-05-2012 at 11:59. |
