Stuart MacDougall’s

VW Golf MK1 Cabriolet

RESPRAY

JOB

Stuart purchased this car exactly 29yrs after it was born from the former owner who had used first as a daily driver then latterly as a weekend toy, and even going as far as to take to Lloret De Mar in sunny Spain.  

 

Now having been in Stuarts hands for the past year, it has undergone a light restoration including a full body respray in the original Helios Blue Metallic.

​

While the car was stripped for paint Stuart took the opportunity to replace every single clip, fastener and trim piece including all new window rubbers, screen rubber and a brand new screen courtesy of VW Heritage 

 

The shell had very little rust and only minor cosmetic repairs were needed, whilst getting rebuilt Stuart has also replace all the lights on the car for that “factory” fresh look, and as an added bonus a Double DIN head unit with trick reversing camera.

TASTY

INTERIOR

TECH!

The interior is stock other than some tasty component speakers in the doors, and also had the driver’s seat bolster replaced as the original had collapsed.

 

Power is supplied by the stock GTi engine and 5spd box as Stuart wants it to stay a nice reliable cruiser.
