Doner Mk1 Golf GTi

My old Golf Mk1 had finally come to the end of its life. Rust had taken hold of the old fella. The back end was totally rusted away in the usual spots. The car was not great to drive as I could only drive it at one speed, which was flat out. Every time I buckled up the four-point harness, I turned into a crazy street racer. I decided to break it and planned to use all the best bits in the soft top and sell the shell. 

Over the years, the modifications list had become quite long.
