Citrus Red Mk1 Golf LS

nice golf mate, verrrry nice!

i dont think the year is all that important - some 76's are swallowtails, and some arent... ie mollins 2 door isnt, but its also 76.

Can i ask what the differences are on a 76 bonnet?

I know Swallowtails have differnt bonnets but didnt know 76's were different as well!

Surprised that Phil hasn't answered this - AFAIK, early MkI bonnets didn't
have the leading lip that the later ones had - the front edge was pressed into the bonnet like on the sides. The early ones didn't have that...

Over the years most cars have had repairs and have had panels replaced. The "swallowtail" panel or bonnet was not available as a replacement for very long. These also had plastic chrome window trims.

Went to a fellow Dubber from the Air cooled VW site.

Raus will get the love he needs already on the cards is:

Respray (original colour of course)
5 speed box
Maybe some coilovers.
