Nice man, that's a slick colour, I love it!

Yeah, that is nice. You dont see many old Golfs anymore so it really is something different.
Even the XR2,3 and 4s are scarce nowadays. Surely the value has gone up on decent ones.

ProcalX · 29-11-2006, 04:07 PM

Yeh it's valued at about £3500

Big B · 30-11-2006, 12:59 AM

I bet you get a lot of chicks with that thing.

Seriously, though, that little paint job makes it look nice. Hope the guts work well to go with that thing.

Willz · 30-11-2006, 06:40 PM

Nice, are your going to make it like these OTT boy racer cars?

You gonna do the engine up? maybe put some decent speakers in?

zeus · 30-11-2006, 08:21 PM

That looks pretty boy racerish to me!
Standard Mk1 Golfs are quite modest. I love em.

Didnt you read the... err php code? The engine has had loads done! Has it been on a dyno yet? I bet its had a right power boost!

Willz · 30-11-2006, 11:52 PM

I did read the Php code, but i did not think of those as propor engine upgrades, had a longer look at it now lol.

Whats it's max speed? and how long does it take that to get to 0-60mph?

yorkkev28 · 01-12-2006, 11:35 AM

My younger brother had an original mk 1 golf up until he got his type-r last year. Mint condition in red, 1981, original alloys, bodywork, fuel cap, unmarked interior and ran like a dream. Plus 21000 miles from new.

My old man spotted it in the best place to find quality cars, advertised at the side of the road'

paid 600 quid for it in 2002, bought off an old woman who had had it in her garage for ages.

My old man sold it last year for £1950.

not a bad return of capital

Happy protech · 10-12-2006, 06:28 PM

Nice lukin car

The insurance would be sky hugh for me tho, I have a 1.6 litre and thats alot of money...

I don't get why you'd lower a 2.1 tho?

shortcake · 11-12-2006, 08:22 AM

Nice car

Oh and you lower for handling, easier to control as less body roll

My MK4 astra is lowered, the boyroll on that was awfull until i lowered it 60mm

Willz · 11-12-2006, 09:35 AM

Is it so low to the ground like some of these cars the i see, that it when you go over bumps it scrapes the underneath of the car lol?

shortcake · 11-12-2006, 09:50 AM

The golf doesnt look that bad to be honest. And he doesnt say how low it is

*Off Topic* But yeah mine is like that lol. Have to slow right down for them

Willz · 11-12-2006, 09:51 AM

Lol, i think you should lower it, it doesent look that good when cars are scraping on bumps :p, imagine if the bump took your exsaust off lol.

shortcake · 11-12-2006, 09:54 AM

The exhaust isnt that hard to replace.

The sump on the other hand is a different matter!
