Walt speaks the truth. I have a '80 Model Year GLi with 39k on the clock.
There are a few '79 MYs kicking around but never seen one in decent order. The early cabrios rotted like crazy. The S1 cabrios ('79 and '80 MY) shared all the differences between S1 and S2 hatchbacks, most notably the early dashboard and on GLis the Wolfsburg steering wheel, 12 spoke alloys and 2 pod centre console with voltmeter. They also had different tonneau covers, rear interior panels with no speakers and no rear seat belts. Mine has dealer fitted spot lamps.

…..Cool. I like the early headrest design. Do you have a problem deciding which of your cars to tax and use etc. :wink:

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