Excellent pics of snowed-in show Mk1!!

[Valver.]

Owned and built by a Norwegian bloke on 'Vortex. He spent weeks sealing the underbody - now I see why :twisted: :twisted: :shock:

How much is a mk1 Golf worth ?
Follow the rebuild of the green machine and we in Aus can count ourselves darn lucky we can still buy good rust free cars here at any price.Imagine the bill if one paid a professional for all the rust repairs and bodywork.
About $15k I'd say.
So treasure your mk1s guys.
Oh and by the way if you liked the nice set of BBS wheels on the red job I have some spare. :)

[delux]

Nice pics. I'm not sure about the roof extension in the first few shots!
:lol:

[Golfwise]

I believe mikinoz sells them :lol:

[Valver.]

Still looks better than some of the roof racks with Grandma's suitcases on them that people are putting on their Mk1s nowadays :? :lol:

Looks even worse with all the chrome window trim, bumpers and tat with big tail lights, like that ugly thing on the PVW cover with clip on wheel trims :oops: :lol:

Could not agree more...that thing is horrid :?

[16valvertwin45s]

I'm not saying that I like the car in fact the kick on moondiscs are kack
But at the end of the day he's built an individual car on a budget and its still better than the stuck in the eighties yellow mk1 that the judges at the nationals keep giving the thumbs up to,or would you rather an accent with an F1 wing stuck on the boot? :wink:

and you can always take a roof rack off

[aprr32]

Well wait till you read the latest issue of VMA, it has a full article on the yellow peril.And not much has changed since the article in VW Power about 10 years ago!

[el_foolio]

dear lord. I saw that article and nearly vommited. why would people do that to a perfectly good bus?!?!?!

[Golfwise]

16vt45s I recon a roof rack would look so cool on your machine, :lol:
I remember putting bodykits on mk1s and did they looked great at the time.Tastes change but the basic look of the mk1 will always be with us. :)

Mk1,s are getting old and unless they're looked after they won't always be with us.everyone seems to be following the lowrider type trend with two tone paint and such like and i agree its a passing trend just as 17 inch wheels and G60 ARCHES WHERE IN THE MID 90's some styles work and others just suck but at least all vee dubs don't look the same :) :)

[gldgti]

hmm, it seems i have a lot to say on this topic... should i shouldnt i... why not...

im not sure who of you have seen my blue monster (pics available in members rides - blue diesel thingy...) but lets look at this from an artistic perspective...

im of the belief that car "looks" are an unhealthy thing... the "lowrider look" as someone put it, the "ricer" look (yellow peril anyone???#YUK#) - these are baskets that people often feel their car should fall into...

this really shouldnt be the case... what about pure individualism? personally, i've styled my car on a parts availablilty basis, and the fact im as poor as a uni student :shock:

this is not to say that its not how i want it to look - infact my car is pretty much how i want it to look...except the wheels, which i'd like to change, and if anyone wants to donate some to the cause contact me, hehe. no really :wink: - hey the wheels cost me $100 and they are very practical... :oops:

anyway, looking around me.... no two golfs should ever be the same. dont make them look the same... not even a little, unless thats what you like... roofracks, steelies, no doorhandles, whatever. heck, make bits for your car, i do, and some peopl even like them, but who cares about everyone else. make your mk1's YOURS!

having said that, what the heck is this roof extension stuff??? i thought it was just snow stuck on the top of the car???

[Golfwise]

Well put ..
and yes a bit of humour with the snow thing :D :D :D :D

[peter_j_g]

First picture looks like my driveway a couple of months ago...

Anyway, locally the roof extension is know as "winter-look". It's really popular from November to March.... :D

[delux]

Some are quicker than others!!!! :lol: :lol:

[gldgti]

yes... its occurred to me that my car reflects me more than i know... slow...

[delux]

:lol:

[static1800]

@ the Yellow Peril, I saw that in the newsagents today, that thing is aweful IMO

[WABIT]

shoulda pissed on it.. you wont tell coz its yellow *joking*

[imported_brackie]

Each to their own. I reckon that car's taken enough of a caning already. Let's give it a rest. (No doubt this will all happen again at next year's Nats. anyway.)

[gldgti]

next year.... no repeats.... everyone will be yelling

...."WHY DID A DIESEL GOLF WIN??? Look at it, its got rubbish paint, it rattles, it wines (uberkomprimierter) and its got black soot all over its talgate!"...

i wish!

[mrgolf]

Man, i gotta say, i love the retro look with the racks. I would do a MkI like that if I was doing a resto right now. None in Australia. As for the yellow peril? It deserves all the crap it gets. It is too wrong. Back on topic, I love the green colour. And I am glad we dont have to worry about snow all winter...

[Golf Loon]

Good on you Steve. I`m also not ashamed to put my hand up a say F**k the yellow peril. Its so bad, it deserves all it gets. It makes me ashamed that people will see that in the newsagent and think that epitomises the Golf down under. I`m going the the Garage to finish a better one....Shouldn`t take long

[mikinoz]

I believe mikinoz sells them :lol:

Yeah I have had a few, these are a couple I was working on last year...
