    Hi to all...

    I have bought this month a '84 VW Golf MK1 Cabriolet... and I am restoring it because was a bit... dirty.

    One thing I have to do is restore the leather because the driver seats was a bit bad... but dont worry... step by step.

    How it was:

    Lovely, still one of my absolute favorite cars of all times. Do I spot some Borbet wheels there? Classic!

    I love since child... in this combo... white car... white leather... but the fronts come in cream... when I change the seats (Recaro ones on the front, Corrado on the back) i will retrim in withe leather all :D

    The wheels are similar design as Borbet... but are Kerscher Carmona ones... 7,5x16 in the front, 9x16 in the rear :)

    Thanks!

    In this moment is stock... I am thinking in a KR with 4 bike carburators or a 16v G60... nothing bigger... to much weight in the front axle!
