Series 1 GTi project
I put all the interior back in and did a few other little jobs but it's still a long way off. I've had a slight change of heart though, I've recently started my own business selling cars & parts which has taken up a lot of my time, and have therefore decided to buy the parts I need to get her MOT'd and then I'm actually going to use it a little and enjoy it! Hopefully that will give me the inspiration to strip it all over again and do the little fiddly bits before it has a respray.
A deadline has also been set.. I'm due to move from the Midlands back down to Devon in the summer and want the mk1 driveable by then! Stuff still left to do is make up some new rigid brake pipes for the rear beam, buy new bushes, brake cylinders, wheels, tyres, and fuel lines, fit rear beam, replace inner wing, service engine, fit all the parts I've already bought (wheelbearings, brakes etc), sort out electrics, and probably a whole host of other things I've forgotten!
Does anyone know where to source the fuel lines from? The braided lines that go to the top of the airbox where the throttle valve is (I think that's right? So long since I've looked at it!!)

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 standard it wouldn't have had seatbelts from the factory, mine is a 79 GTI any didn't have any but have since been retrofitted. You should have two blanking plates in the parcel shelf supports where the seatbelts would go.
Flag mirror would be LHS, RHS should have remote adjustable one.
Spotted this dash tray on ebay that might interest you (not mine)

I'm going to have to dig out the mirrors as I can't remember what I have and don't have, I think I had 2 different styles but can't remember.
As for the lower dash, cheers!

I lifted the tarpaulin up… And then put it back down again, exhausting stuff.
On a more serious note, after nearly 2 years the V5 has arrived and it is actually officially a Golf GTi and not a 'DEMM' or a Vauxhall! Result.
