Mk1 golf GX in silver was my first car

Cant wait to see this just cleaned up and de-stickered etc

If i come by some upgraded coilovers for mine, i'll be selling the hottuning things on it so i'll let ya know

Cheers Lee, yeah as much as i love it, it does have a bit too much going on with all the stickers and other bits stuck on, think i want a cleaner/simpler look for it.

Cool, keep me posted on them coilies

Martin my mate owns GPC and has got a few patern wings etc for the mk1 they are made in germany and fit like vag parts not the like the german and sweedish ones which you have to bend and cut to fit..He was only saying the other day that volkswagen are now making mk2 parts obsolete...

would be interested in the price of the wings dude, will definatly be replacing the passenger wing, think the drivers side is salvageable. Was chatting too a mate who works at vw about old parts, he said they gaurantee (sp?) to stock them for a certain number of years, cant remember how long but its getting close for mk2 bits now...

there are 2 jacks plus both front wheels taken off and placed under the car on either side on a totally flat drive....bar an earthquake the car was not going anywhere! Neither of us would have been anywhere near it had it been in the slightest unstable
