I saw this on eBay yesterday evening,
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/MK1-Golf-Gti ... %7Ciid%3A1
235bhp / Mk 7 seats / Polo GTi dashboard / K& W's / fully rebuilt
I've had half a dozen Mk 1's before and thought this looked great, so I bought it this morning, it's being delivered on Friday !
just looking for a set of BBS wheels

That looks really nice and well put together, with the right parts and good people. Timeless icon and I’d like one. Had fun in a friends in the early 80’s and you never forget these moments.
Nice purchase.
Regards
Mike

Lovely. There are enough original ones out there for the anoraks so this is just great.

My favourite car a mk1 campaign. I am going down the 2.0 16v route I think.

Thanks.
I drove it this afternoon for about 35 miles, it's on 235bhp with K&W suspension, seems very well engineered. So small and light ( compared to a modern) it absolutely flies, the guys who built it were working to create a Mk1 in the way VW would have done if they built it today and have done a great job.
I had some Mk1's in my twenties, a long time ago, but they were nothing like this !

Looks great!
Curious to see the polo dash. How did they solve the diabolical RHD brake pedal linkage issue?
