Yesterday I've bought myself a Golf MK1. It is registered as 1.1 from 1982.
I don't really know much about it - it has not been painted yet, no rust and others - It has not been used for the last 3 years because of the accident. I'm the third owner.
But there are several problems:
- Two of the tyres are 155/70R13 and two 175/70R13 - i don't know which pair is genuine for this year (ET 45 5" rims)?
- I got FS EXIM 6Jx15H2 ET35 rims for it - will they be ok for that car and what tyres should I choose?
- I don't know whether it's EU Golf or US Rabbit - on the back is the badge with the rabbit but… - I'm not sure, but i think my Golf has GTI overlays instead of original 'half' overlays
- I have one plastic and one metal mirror - which one is the proper one?
- I used to think that I have 1.1 engine but I searched Google for pics and inferring from the valve cover it might be 1.3
- i have a strange tube going from valve cover - i don't know where to put it :/

I'm will Matt (jellybelly) on this one, the US Rabbits would have the big reflective plastic bits on the front wings / rear of the body - so unless they've been filled in you'd find holes for thee if it was Original US
Here's what I mean
1986 Cabriolet (long resto!)
1983 Cabriolet (daily pain in the bum)
1983 T25 (weekend pain in the bum)
