Credit is entirely due to the first owner for looking after it and Lawrence, the second owner, for the remarkable refresh. I mostly drive it, wash it, and occasionally polish it.
A few recent pictures of my early GTI, after what has felt like a very long hibernation. The car was built in May 1984 and is the launch specification, with a few differences to GTIs built later in 1984.
I have also uploaded some images of the mechanical refresh carried out by the previous owner, over a period of 4 years. This may be of interest to someone restoring an early MK2 GTI to original spec. RESTO PICS
I will be at a few VW shows this year, including the National Meet, which is always the highlight for me!
