1979 Golf 1.1 Lemon Yellow

Hi all, new to mk1 ownership. Picked this up a few weeks ago. 79 1.1 golf in lemon yellow  :mrgreen:

Few pics.

Superb, don't mess with it, if you do, keep the original stuff.

I note that you have no servo on the brakes, but, it is a direct input into the master cylinder.

Yes no servo on the car, brakes are a bit of an experience at first but you get used to them.

Such a lovely clean original car! I agree keep it like that

oh my god that is stunning, so original and in immaculate condition by the look of it, i love this colour also

That is lovely. Is that original paint? And please dont say you got it for next to nothing

Love the colour and originality

Thanks guys, it's a good solid example alright that has been looked after from new.
Not original paint unfortunately but a good detail is bringing life back into it.

Absolutely stunning!

I was gonna say the interior looks sick.. but then I thought, 'It all looks sick..'

Lovely car.

Very Nice!! Clean car and unusual colour i like it!!

Cheers. Interior is one of my favorite parts of the car, such a change from modern stuff.

Wow, bet that was not cheap!

i hate you because im spending every moment i have making mine look like this lol

Few bits arrived today.



Rear light cluster covers, window winders, gearknob, new key, new badge and a few other bits.


New scuttle cover and front spoiler.


New centre console.


Fitted the cluster covers, winders and gearknob.












Offered up the centre console to see how it will look  


There was a horrible bit of metal reinforcing the bulkhead where the clutch cable goes, removed it and fitted the repair panel.




Fitted a programmable relay for intermittent wipers.


Any idea why this relay is fused?

What a beautiful car. Its so clean! What are your plans? Doesn't seem like much needs done.

WOW

if i was gona have a nice original golf, i would like it to be like this.

Lovely example, lovely colour, SPOT ON !
