79' Golf GL 1.1 series 1 Colibri Green
I intend on using him as a bit of a rat for the summer and then when the tax runs out I will be restoring the bodywork.
I am proud to say he's only had 1 previous owner (on logbook) and with only 72k genuine miles.
I feel very fortunate to have this lil beaut.

The original steels had tyres with really bad cracking in the walls so to be safe, I fitted my banded 13s (which have nearly new tyres). I resprayed them recently in hammerite smooth and they don't look too bad and prevents any rust from returning. I wouldn't recommend using it as an aerosol as its really thin and the finish isn't desirable if you want a show finish.

Took the parcel shelf out too which I hope to repair. I want to keep replacing parts to a minimum.
Next week I will drop the seat wrappers off to get repaired.

Cleaned the seat runner channels and regreased. Seats slide beautifully now.

I'm not in a rush to sell but I'm looking for £350. The falken tyres are nearly new.
