1980 Mk1 GTI

[Vista]

So clean and love the new wheels! One of my favourite Mk1s. Nice job.

Looks awesome Liam, but something needs to be done about that antenna?

[Lima]

Haha, yeah, I have a NOS part in my garage, just need to pull my finger out to fit it!

[DubSteve]

Please do cause that is really the only thing that is ruining the car at the moment mate, sure does look beautufil

[Lima]

Took some new pics earlier today ... take note of the new antenna too!

Back on the streets of Canberra

Love the shots at Mt. Pleasant, good spot as not a lot of cars go up there

[Lima]

Yeah, it's a great spot. I think it'll be my new favourite place for quick snaps. It closes at 7pm, so once we go off daylight savings sunsets should be quite good too.

I was there for about 40mins I guess, and only two other cars came up. One was AFP security, the other was a dude in an old Valiant going for a Sunday drive.

One step closer to the way it left the factory now that I have secured a working Wolfsburg steering wheel.

Love the wheel!

[Jace]

Did all GTI's have the black instrument cluster panel? The wheel matches nicely with the brushed-alloy looking ones.
I swapped out my Wolfsburg wheel today because it clashes with the rest of my interior haha.

Did all GTI's have the black instrument cluster panel?

According to this pic, taken from a 1980 Golf brochure, yes...
