Series 1 GTi project
It's a series 1 1.6 gti 5 speed, '79 on a 'V' and has been dry stored since '94. Needs a fair amount of work but there isn't really much rot anywhere, nothing that can't be sorted certainly! Comments welcomed

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

Next thing is to try and decide on what colour to spray it.. Currently thinking somewhere along the lines of either Black, Alpine White, Candy White, or Porsche Seal Grey..

Spurred on from Edition38 this is what I started with on the following monday…

Not going to bore you all with endless pictures but since then it now has a full interior minus drivers seat, headlining (needs a new one) and lower dash (I don't appear to have one). Outside I've stripped off the rear beam, cleaned off all the rust and undersealed it, shot blasted the sliding part of the front calipers and sprayed them in black high temp paint, same with the rear drum backing plates, front suspension is off too and hubs will be off tomorrow.
Bits I've bought..
Wheelbearings, brakes, all new belts, oils, filters etc for engine, underseal.
Bit's I need..
Flag mirror (I forget which side - Anyone got one?), tyres, CV joints, braided fuel lines, caliper seal kit, paint, bushes. Also, can't seem to find any rear seatbelts.. Can anyone enlighten me if it had any from the factory? It's a '79 series 1 GTi.
As it was yesterday.. (Now has no front or rear suspension)…

Remember, VW made the last car in 1992. After that they started making vehicles.
