I've moved this blog to www.jaydutton.com check it out!

Here's the start of the 1983 MK1 GTI. I've wanted one of these cars sine I was 17 years old and I finally scored one! It's been sitting for six years in this dudes garage. I currently can't get it to run but hopefully this week. So far I've gotten a new fuel pump, fuel filter, synthetic oil, battery and plugs. The biggest challenge has been getting rid of the old varnished gas and cleaning the tank. I'll keep everybody updated on the progress.Click for pics

1.8 8V-not sure how long it'll remain that way

I think I'm going to keep the back seat out

No rips or tears

That bumper is going to get paint until I get Euros

I've since fixed the sagging headliner

The only real rust spot-on the hatch
