My 2door Mk1 Golf

[staceFace]

She looks well clean and tidy, although girl or not i'd say the exhaust tip has to go..... (being a girl i wouldnt have one) but then again if you like it its all good.

Good luck on the save up for the re-spray. Never seen one in that colour though

i know many people arn't a fan of the exhaust tip, but it is one TINY thing on the whole car, SO PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO DEAL WITH IT

anyway, i like it, its different, you're all lucky i didnt put a cannon on it and frangapani stickers...!!

Hi all
I like the colour and considering it's the original paint from the factory it would be a shame to change. I read with intrest peoples observations and comments of Rachel's Golf.
I'd like to share some of the cars history with those who are interested.
Purchased from Avondale Motors in Dandenong Vic on 01.03.76 for $4253. With a build date of 2/76 I think this would make it fairly early in the production run of Golfs. This obviously makes it a swallowtail which I'd always referred to as an LS till I joined this site. It has a few differences from other swallowtails I've seen and they are, no lining material on the inside rear quarter panels, light in the glovebox, no heat shield on the front part of the exhaust system, sender unit for the fuel gauge is in the side of the fuel tank not the top. Under the bonnet it has a sensor in the flywheel inspection plug which connects to the plug that's on the left hand strut tower which I guess is to connect the diagnostic equipment of the day into. It has the radiator without the cap and the header tank arrangement.
It had never had a radio fitted in it and it was purchased from the original owner in August, 07 still with its original rego. It came with the original receipt, paperwork and service history. I think it's a great example of an early Golf and I'm rapt that since joining this site, Rachel is appreciating it more than ever.
Cheers,
Geoff (Rache's ol' man...the bloke with the rally car)
