Arf's 2nd Mk1 Golf - 1978 Series 1 GLS

they came with black bumpers 1979 onwards

Right ive taken the 1980's Blaupunk radio/cassette  out so just got a hole in the dash atm…..



I managed to win a 1970's Gamma radio on ebay and im going to be fitting it soon, get it all wired up properly (unlike the Blaupunkt lol)



And for the sake of it heres a picture of the golf at sunset

Nice pic  

Lovely pic and good buy on ebay  

Thanks mate... just need 5 minutes to myself now so i can get it all wired up!

Ok cool i might get some then i think they will look wicked Also on a side note does anyone know how accurate howmanyleft.com is?

Ive been having a look on there at Golf GLS and there are 3 registered 1977 2 of which are SORN and and 10 from 1978 6 of which are sorn.

So i could POTENTIALLY have the 4th oldest GLS in the country or look at it another way the 2nd oldest on the road

Hello, another GLS Bristol boy, i should really make an effort to come to some meets, do you all do volksfest?

by the way mines a 76 GLS so you'll have to go down to 5th oldest.  to be honest it wasn't originally a UK car though. It looks lovely though buddy, and great condition, i'll look forward to seeing it at some local shows, i should also start a thread of my own really.

I know not many posts long story shortened, i joined before i actually had a mk1 then briefly had a 5 door 1980 golf L in matt red which i decided was too much work then to my Swedish Bali green 76 GLS, it wouldn't have been me they were seeing that's for sure.Just slowly collecting stuff at the moment and sorting a few things to pass it's MOT nothing major though.

I would drop a few photo's in here but i don't want to take up your thread, so i've chucked some photo's in the mk1 picture thread page 117 (last page) take a look Yep i'll definitely come to a show/meet to see all the other local mk1's and i'll try to get a build thread up soon.

Bum, i'm on holiday in St Ives then.

It'll have to be the next one, thanks for the nice comments mate, as i said i'll pull my finger out and do a build thread.

When we were on the search for an s1 the criteria was a pastel colour with a brown interior, i suppose i was just lucky at the time as green was at the top of my list, although the wifes a fan of manilla.

Hope to meet up with you soon and get a geeky snap of the GLS's together
