Been hidden for years

Hi,  29 yes ago I bought a 79 gold gti, the cylinder head aas in the boot lol.  I repaired it and got it on the road,  my mum bought it off me.  12 months later started using oil,  and started knocking, I got parked in a garage and left as she couldn't afford to repair it at the time,  3 yr ago a friend of hers stripped it to restore it,  she wouldn't let me have the car to do it, any way she has now given it to me !!!    So I know its going to be a lot of work but its pretty solid still.  And other than the wheels its as it left the factory.   How many 4 speeds are out there ?? .  It was registered on 22/08/1979, black

I think the series 1 gti is very rare in rhd, I'm not sure if they were all 4 speed. There is a page for the series 1 on Facebook so would be best to ask on there.

Keep it original and restored looking up to £40k. Even in good roadworthy condition could be £20k.

Sure someone will comment on 4 speeds but think they become 5 speed on series 2 late 79 early 80.

Being laid up for so long it must be really low mileage and owners also.

Hi,  I think it has approximately 100k on the clock,   I have looked about and they only made the 4 speed for around 3 months in the UK,  so there won't be many of them I'm sure.  Its going to take a lot of work but it will be done, I'm in the middle of a house extension atm and I have a fiesta rs turbo to finish before I start this so won't be happening foe a while lol.  I'm going to keep it stock as much as possible

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