Five weeks in the making, from start to finish. "'79 Golf GLD Turbo Diesel" The car started out as a '79 Diesel junkyard find in Southern California. It was posted on the Vortex for sale a while back,
and I had it shipped to our door a little while later. Here is what it looked like when we got it, and what it looked like for a few months sitting in our driveway until
it was ready for paint. Before I even had it painted I bought ALL of the parts that I needed for it to make it "mine," which is why it didn't take that long to finish it, but there are a ton of blood, sweat, and tears in the car. I have approximately 200 hours in it.




The car has 43,xxx original miles. Paint was supposed to be Canyon Metallic, but was resprayed a couple of times in the past. I don't feel like typing much more, I'll just let the pictures do the talking.
I did keep the original interior, just cleaned it up and put a new dash in it. I put a 3-spoke steering wheel out of a Scirocco in it though.
