Back in the fold........New very red pics!!!

Hi everone…….

Having made the worse mistake of my life 3 years ago In swapping my fantastic Mars Red 1982 Gti with full service history for a Porche Boxster !! I'm back in the fold again… This week I will be picking up a 1982 Mk1 1.5 GL. 67k from new and the same owner for 32 years…. Has 12 months MOT but will need a little TLC

so much looking forward to having a MK1 Again …….

I will post a few pics when I take a few …….

so HELLO!

Jules

Welcome back Tintop-jules !

We all make mistakes. That's why there are rubbers on the ends of pencils

Welcome back Jules, looking forward to pics

Hey thanks all. I'm down In North Cornwall….


Here she is … …. A good polish and she'll come up lovely….

So I was very lucky to pick her up for the price of a Med holiday :-)

last owner, an old chap called Micheal had her for 32 years. Only covered 67k miles. Interior is perfect. No parcel shelf, but hoping somebody can help me here - did the 5 door have one?

exterior is spot on bar faded paint and a few 'scabs' and a rust hole on driver wing. Boot is straight from the factory! No rotted wheel well or rusty turrets!!

All in in all a solid car and I'm chuffed to bits to own her now…..

looking forward to brining her to a show or two……

comments welcome :-) 

Yey, a more door!  

Loving the red interior too  

You've got to come to the AGM - would love to see it.

Great colour and yes it would have had a parcel shelf.

Looks brilliant, love the colour, can't wait to see more of this!

Love this. the red interior is sweeeet

Just thought I'd put up a few more pics. First time I've had her out in the daylight after purchase & can't believe the condition….. Drives a dream too… I'm quite impressed how the 1500 chugs along…. One happy bunny  

Saw an identical model at a show today so took a picture of the correct parcel shelf for you.

Hi Richard. Thanks for the pics…..

Looks like a rare beast and may take a while to source!

Here's hoping :-)

I had an '82 1.5 GL when I was 19, some 25 ish years ago!! It was black with the same red interior as yours. I liked the way t chugged along too, not a bad engine at all!



That's the only photo I have of it!

Ref the parcel shelf, perhaps you could look to paint or die one? You may have to find a beige one to do that but this may be slightly easier than finding a red one!

Nice find! There is a chap called Andy that breaks mk1s in Bude (a farm in Poughill I recall). Can't be far from you and possibly worth a shout. Sorry I don't have his number anymore but some others on here may know.

Thanks Andy for the ideas around the parcel shelf…..

Yea I know Andy in Bude! He used to have 100's of Golfs, Caddies, Sciroccos but he's shifted most of them now… I may wander down though and see if he still has anything kicking around….

Cheers all

Welcome to the club, car looks awesome, I love a more door - great find! Look forward to seeing it at a show or two!
