  • Mk 1 Rally Car

    Hi all
    Just joined after watching for a while. Compete in rallies in Victoria in a Panama Brown 1977 GLS Golf. Seam welded and strenghtened,full cage,velo seats,adjustable Koni shockers,King springs,Cibie lights,alloy sump guard and all the usual rally stuff inside the cabin. Running a standard LS engine and gearbox and standard brakes except for GTI calipers with the bigger pads and steel braided hoses. Use AP racing brake fluid and a adjustable rear anti lockvalve as well as a hydraulic handbrake. Member of the Historic Rally Association so we do all the HRA events and some VCRS events. Done 10 events in the last year and a bit and finished them all. Could do with more HP and better ratios but we are having heaps of fun and love the Golf. My daughter drives a 76 LS 2 door and we have a Red Mk 4. Just started work on another Mk 1 to do autocross,hillclimbs,motorkhanas bla bla bla. Any more motorsport Golf people out there.

    Welcome to the forum mate!

    There's a few of us on here genuinely interested in motorsport.. I'm currently building a road registered Mk1 4 door with a 1.9 16v for some club motorsport etc.

          Mk1 Rally Car Photos

          Hi all
          Thanks for the welcoming.Live bayside in Melbourne.
          A few photos of the car for those interested
          I would have to admit that I'm not really computer savvy so I'm still getting a handle on navigating my way around this site.

            Hey Geoff,

            Thats a very nice example of a Mk1 rallycar. Very impressed.

            And best of all... It's a 4 door!


            Don't worry, the site isn't too bad to navigate once you get used to it..
