1984 GTI April 11, 2024, 10:07:38 PM 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 PICSI will be at a few VW shows this year, including the National Meet, which is always the highlight for me! 2 Likes

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.
