Mk1 golf project

Basially wanted a mk1 since I can remember,

Heres the situation, my friend is well into his banger racing stock cars etc an the team he builds cars for have just taken a mk1 in for scrap. Nothing has been ticked for scrap so still legal for the road (some people obviously havnt a clue) he's offered me it for £400 delivered to my door. I'm expecting pictures later this afternoon and I'm on the case looking for a garage to rent as we speak.

Basic spec of the car I have been given so far it's going to be a project/rebuild by the way.

Black
4door
Finding out if it runs later
Dent in front wing
Missing rear bumper
Needs replacement rear quarter window
Has interior etc and doesn't look rotten.

Reason for thread would you buy it? I'm buying it regardless but have no mk1 experience so looking for some advice generally.
Got to be worth 400 notes obviously no one can give me a dead cert as I have no photos yet but still...

Thank you, Matt

look for rust rust rust rust!

rear arches

rear end of the car generally

fuel tank neck

rear tailgate

bulkhead in engine bay

floor pan

Doesn't look too bad that, nice project

Haha I havnt got it yet that's the picture I was sent. Just wish it was 2 door but beggars can't be choosers

mate just weld up the rear doors,job done......a 2 door is born!

Haha!!! I'll get used to having 4 let's just hope the underneath isn't too bad

4 doors are cool.

more doors more hores

if you dont want it ill buy it lol

Mate if you want it I can put you in touch with my mate albeit he's useless but I'll be able to get it delivered to you for £400 all in but as I said earlier he isnt sure about the key or the engine running let us know mate, what's happening with the red one 3 piece love it

I've got a mk2 1.3 carb that would fit nice in a mk1... Holla If anyone wants it

not a lot at mo should get sorted and use as daily its running 1600 turbo diesel just too many cars not enough time

I see I see lucky enough for some to have too many ey I'll pm you now mat

looks clean on the outside ........ its underneath you wanna worry about

i defo find the 5 doors a bit more 'classic' instead of 3's which are a bit more 'gti'

Yeah they are pretty cool but I've sent Mat my friends number lets see how he gets on ay I'll just save a buy a better condition one
