1986 Golf CL

[typ 19]

this car was from Aachen, bought new in March 1986 from Franz Schmidt, then taken to England and registered in April 1986. It has only had 3 owners since new. I bought it from eBay UK in March 2007.

it looks lighter than it is, it is the same colour as the sides of my seats

[martiepartie]

that engine! Really clean..

This will be a real nice golf, not like al the other mk2's :) Mostly these kind of restaurations are done with a mk1 golf :)

Keep up the good work.

[De Limburger]

[vwgolf1]

that hubcap on the air-intake won't clear the hood right? nice idea though, and i LOVE the idea of the ceilinglight in the C-Console.

and the plate is perfect. must have set you back a pretty penny.

[typ 19]

hubcap on airfilter tin will not clear the hood when closed, but i have another for when i close the hood, the beetle hubcap idea is only for the hood up and show only. originally i was going to chrome the standard Knecht/ Mann airfilter tin, until we realised the hubcap is almost the same size. its only a custom trick really

[Tjaap]

i think cutting only about an inch from the bottom of the hubcap would clear the hood. then maybe weld/solder it to a spare filter and chrome that together?

[VeeDubber]

[TheLittle]

[huismuis]

nice color great car!!!!!! love it!

[typ 19]

the interior is the standard Golf CL interior, but re-trimmed in vinyl and tweed fabric, it was meant to look older, like a Type3 or Karmann Ghia, so thats why i lost the head rests on the front seats, thanks for the comments, guys, i appreciate it

[Bral]

you got more pictures of the car ?


I love it ;-)

[mk1diesel]
