Description
1983 Golf Mk1 KR 16v
Body
1. 1c in original Selvas Green (rare) with all standard exterior trim, similar to a GTi, GTi wheel arches, and GTi front spoiler. The only body modification was to change the engine mounting to fit the 16v engine. Shell is very straight and clean, the only welding was a little tidying on the back edge of the rear arches. The car received a complete back to the metal, glass out respray with all dents removed by a dent man to reduce any filler. No sunroof.
