'OLD RED' My NEW '82 GL CABBY

Just picked up my new project…..A 1982 GL Cabriolet with original steel wheels and hub caps.  4 speed box with 1500 engine.






ONLY ROOM FOR ONE…….1990 GTI CABRIOLET NEEDS TO GO

I would keep the older one as well  

"older" or did you mean 'other'.  One needs to go…..a clue…not the red one..cos just bought.  The blue one's looking for a new home…..

Nice, keep the GL!

Glad you approve.  The combination of the 1500 engine and skinny tyres makes for a real nice drive…the gearbox (4 speed) is lovely….The car was found at a dealer in the Midlands…I'm near Liverpool.  It was parked amongst Vectras etc.  Some issues with water leaks at top of A post etc and some detailing…..but, my dream Mk1 spec rally…It had a respray 7 years ago, which is why it is shiny and not pink like ,most other red VW's.  

Also……..

You would know Dubboy….

Should tyres be 155 80x13 on these or 70x13?

Are earlier rear indicator lights a lighter colour on cars of this period or have they faded a little over time?

Cheers
