beautiful, clean, old school dub....what part of england are you from?

[Riddick]

The car lives on the Isle of Wight, I keep it there as a run-around for when I'm back in the uk. Its so much fun to drive. It does need a good tidy up though, just starting to go in all the tail tail spots.

Welcome to VWF.

260,000 miles WOW!!! Looking great with all those miles.

[veedubgolf97]

260K is exactly double what i got on mine and i hope my mk3 looks as good as your mk1 when its that old! very well kept and a sweet looking dub!

[Riddick]

Thanks guys, really kind words.

Its my third Golf. There good little cars. I had a (88) Mk1 cab and a (88) Mk2 with loads of body mods ( I'll try and find some pic's if anyones interested).

[TruBluJettaMK2]

That is a beautiful MK1 Golf. 260,000mi on the car? Wow, you certainly know how to take care of your car if it looks that good. Silver and black... it's HOT!

[89jettawolfs]

nice car. looks really good. i was gonna say i don't really like the big bumpers on any car muchless a mk1, but i see you're taking it off. It doesn't look too bad with it on thoguh. But a mk1 set up would effinetly look better. I'd like to see some interior and engine shotsnice car all around though

[98a4]

I love big bumpers! lol Very clear car....try and get some more photos

[2POINT_FAST]

Very clean, and WOW have some miles on it. Any american car would be in the junkyard with those miles.

[tailpipesmokeshow]

put on a set of small chrome euro spec bumpers and you'll be the envy of all North American MK1'ers!


Looks awesome no matter what bumper set up you put on there!

[1point8T]

Not to sure how chrome would look no a silver car?

Thinking about changing the colour slightly anyway.

Maybe Porsche Arctic Silver or something similar.

What do you all think?

[shedpress]

^^^^Arctic Silver... that will brighten it up for sure.
nice. very clean dub. and WOW!! to the miles. very nice.

[GTI20thAEinDE]

Looking great! It's nice to see an MK1 with that much love in her.
