nice!

Congrats, sir- that car looks to be in amazing shape.

Awesome. I had two A1s. Then they fucked, and I ended up with another two. Great cars.

MK1! nice pickup!

very nice. Out of curiosity did you find this locally? I ask because about a year ago I tailed one going through the exit 24 booths that had a FS sign in the rear with a phone number. I called it while behind the car in the booths and got him to pull over in the truck turnaround area. That car was super clean and looked just like this aside from the wheels AFAIR. Wanted a bit too much for it so I never made a deal.

I miss my old MK2 golf. Thing was a riot to bomb around in despite it being a total POS. Great find for sure here :slight_smile:

The kid drove it out from NH. He got it shipped to him from SC last May. I have heard there was a clean one like mine for sale near saugerties

Awesome.

EXCELLENT!

It’s hard to find them this clean in this area, sweet find!

Kids look amazed by the cars beauty…

Holy shitty seats! Otherwise car looks great. You should look into trying to source a set of recaro trophies in it.

Yeah man thats one of the first things im going to do is try to find a set if recaros. Those seats in it are so 80s lol

sick. needs tdi swap ASAT.

I’d like to do something eventually. Idk what yet. I like the 2 liter swap. Whatever i do i need to swap tranny. This stock gearbox from 1983 is rediculous. Gears are so close. I’ve launched in 3rd like 5 times smh

Id leave this thing totally stock and show it. Its too clean to hack up with motor swaps and shit like that

This is awesome.

I had an 83 gti just like that 15 years ago. Fun car, I liked the short gears. Glad to see one so clean.

Do a 16 valve swap with a lysholm.

k20a swap or bust.
