1982 VW Golf (MK1)

When Volkswagen needed a successor to the wildly popular Beetle in the 70's they developed their first water-cooled, front-wheel-drive chassis called the VW MK1. This platform was perfect for the gas-rationed era, and was looked upon as nothing more than cheap daily driver.\nFast-forward over 30 years, and the MK1 platform has become the hot rod of the water-cooled VW world. This chassis is highly sought after for everything from restorations to motor swaps, all the way to all-out race car builds.We are sure VW never dreamed their little economy car would be part of such a customizing movement!
