Description
Please be aware this is a project car, however one with a collection of spare parts years in the making and which should be sufficient to yield a complete and really clean mk1.
Non-sunroof model
Factory mars red paint LA3A
Largely solid
Areas of rust: rear valance, all 4 arches, both sills, front valance, treated areas in wheel arches, area in lower windscreen surround. All with the exception of windscreen surround area were taken back to bare metal and treated with POR-15 degreaser, metal prep and rust preventative paint - meaning the rust has been stopped in its tracks.

For the skilled bodyworker, installing the replacement panels and painting the bottom ten percent of the car should be pretty straightforward. For the non-skilled bodyworker there's nothing that needs addressing that a company that restores classics shouldn't be able to handle.
Once it's solid begins the wonderful game of installing all the included parts, nuts, bolts, badging and everything in between and before you know it you've an absolutely lovely mk1 golf and all the joys of twin-carburettor intake sounds!
Please note the odometer only has 5 digits, so while it shows 23, 935, it's more likely to be 123, 935 miles.
It's a shame for me to let it go unfinished after such a long ownership but I'm starting a business and need both the space and the funds.
