Don't be disheartened though, as these parts are all still available, albeit with some degree of difficulty and cost at times. But, it is what it is, and that's a S1 GTI, and that alone has some real value. Re-shelling another S1 GTI is not an ideal choice, because you're taking another 1% of the total S1 GTI's left, and effectively scrapping one. If you're going to use another car as a donor, then it should be a base model.
This car should be either enjoyed as a great Mk1 that's modified to your current taste, or carefully put back to what it really is. Even if you source only 90% of the original parts, it will always be a S1. There are very, very few that are 100% original, as almost all of them have been modified or updated over the years, so you will be forgiven for a few later parts to get it presentable and running until the correct parts turn up.

if you read the description I have already explained about rear pannel, and the front pannel is deffo a series 1
1974-1979 is series 1
1980- 1993-but can be debatable, series 2
i have log book so I'm deffo sure it's a series 1…….
always somebody who wants to rob somebody's thread bit like a bird who rob another birds nest……….(cuckoo)
thanks for for yuor negative comments, much apriciated
have a great life CUCKOO

I'll confirm that the car is a S1 GTI, as I know a little of its history, and believe it was from Newcastle more recently when it ran Red Splits, had a glass sunroof, and a 16v motor on carbs. It's been on my unofficial S1 GTI register for some time.
Furthermore, the value of these cars fluctuates wildly, dependant on their originality, and people are merely pointing out that yours is down the scale of value because of its current state.
Don't make it personal, it's a car!

If you cannot accept the bad posts as well as the good ones don't ask people opinions.
At the end of the day it is a car and we all have our different views on value.
We all have one thing in common though our love of the MK1.
