Crispymk2's 1980 MK1 Golf 16V

crispymk2 · February 21, 2015

After crashing my motorbike I have pussied out and bought a car for running to work in.

Anyway it is a 1980 Mk1 Golf, would have loved a 2 door but couldn't pass this up.

Running a 16V 1.8L from a MK2 GTi and has had a recent bare metal respray in very dark gunmetal grey metallic

Plans:
New front tyres
New carpets
Tidy stereo wiring
Replace tie rods
Tidy/semi-wire tuck engine bay

and I'd like to swap out the current VMaxx coilovers for something better and track down a set of genuine BBS rims

Been super slack but the worsening mushy brake pedal means I will have to pull my finger out shortly and put some work in on tidying this up.

Have given it a good detail and taken some photos though

First breakdown last night.

Snapped the clutch cable and with a few too many hills and stop lights between me and home I decided a free tow was the better option. Probably best considering the starter has been a bit iffy lately and the alternator exciter wire still isnt connected so needs to be revved to 5krpm before it will start charging...
