What wheels did you go for? The look good! similar to mine but with a shallow dish, did you coat them in anthracite?

eBay specials. £35. Then had them powder coated with new toys. No idea what make they are.

Thanks for sharing the pictures. That's a very nice car and I think you got a good deal on it. As quoted on your other thread, I reckon you got it for half price!
Can I ask where you found it?

   Thank you, yes of course,  I'd been looking for one for a year or so, not so many about where I live in the Scottish highlands! Especially when only black will do ! Anyway, i heard about this one from a gent who bought a motorcycle from me. I had mentioned in conversation with him that  I was looking for a MK1 and he thought he knew where one had hiding for a few years, in the village of Lairg which was nearby. It wasn't on the market but I made contact with the owner anyway….he wasn't sure about selling it but was also looking to free up some space as he had various other classics. He'd refused to sell it to others over the years………I got lucky 😎 Only downside is no history…all misplaced over the years, but I am not worried about that.

and a couple of shots with her Standard wheels on….😎

Those p-slots are extremely sought after over here….

Get thee a Radiator Card, you will increase the cooling efficiency of your radiator. and not drop tools down there.

www.cabby-info.com has the templates for you to make one.

Get to the AGM next year would be great to see it in the flesh

Long drive for me…..but, if I could find the time I'd love to make it to the AGM, 3 of my good friends also have mk1 GTI's so we could convoy down from the highlands, after we sort out our breakdown cover of course  😂

Nice car, eBay special wheels are league  wheels 065.

Good to know as I can't see anything on the actual wheel.

Great Info

Get your lazy bum to the AGM!
We come up from the depths of Cornwall and, as one of members hates motorway driving, it takes us flipping hours!

You couldn't be any longer believe me!

Nice car BTW.

Where is the agm held, and when?

Stratford upon Avon at the end of July for the past 2 years. Can only assume similar for 2018.

Hi Saulty. Are you looking for one, I have a spare one just sitting around?
…I am in South Africa though, but sure theres a way to facilitating a deal anyway. 1984 Gti 1.8 Kjetronic, stock standard according to South African specs. Thanks so far. Jeff

You won't regret it, it's impressive and a really great experience!
We have members come over from Ireland, Holland, Belgium and North Scotland. 👍🏼

I was there this year and that's all the way from Vienna, Austria 🇦🇹
Mind you that was with a plane and then rental car! 😉
