"A brilliant first car!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The car has gone through a basic rebuild,
Front disc's, pads replaced
Rear brake shoes replaced and valves
All suspension, shocks and springs
New 5 speed gearbox
Full exhaust system
All belts and filters replaced
Paint reconditioned
Fuel tank neck re welded.
General comments?
Considering this is my first car its reliability and performance were excellent, the car is quite old, but the build quality of the car remains excellent and sturdy.
The car has taken a lot of work to get it to its current condition, but many parts have been replaced for peace of mind rather than neccessity.
The car has never not started on me and performs well when on the road.
Overall I am very pleased with this car and I can't wait to upgrade to a golf mark 2 so that I can continue my obsession with vw's.
