Gold-Plated Engines

This 1980 VW Golf has Been Tricked Out

This 1980 VW Golf has got all the makings of a great piece of auto tuning. It has been lowered and has a decidedly retro feel to it, but that is not the best part. That title is reserved for the gold-plated engine and the gold-plated steering wheel because nothing is luxurious until you have something encased in gold.

Anyway, the 1980 VW Golf will make a big statement on the road, as the matte black finish will have you straining your neck for a look inside it.
