I am fairly new to this forum so i'll introduce myself again my name is Jack and i have just purchased this very early series 2 Mk1 golf GLS which missed out on being a series 1 by just 60 days which is rather remarkable but it was owned by a old man here on the Isle Of Wight and i have bought it to restore it!
i am no rooky to the world of Volkswagen's having owned 4 other Mk1's i live, eat, and breath these retro icons and with no further ado here is the latest.
Here she is the day i picked it up. ( the previous owner had tried to make it 'cool' by lowering it 40mm and putting some snowflakes on )

I got her back to the workshop and immediately got to work on a clean up.

i was wondering though if anyone can point me in the right direction. i'm looking a website that might be able to help me figure out the original spec for my lemon yellow.. i know that there is websites like this for the swallow tail mk1's but id really like to find out exactly what sort of tyres ect this car would of have from factory
