New diesel owner

[DieselMk1]

Hey everyone

Yesterday I bought my diesel Mk1 for the lowly sum of $850 with rego.

I'm not quite sure how to upload photos on my phone but it's white with little rust spots everywhere (all treated) and has a (surprisingly tidy) brown vinyl interior. Unfortunately for me it also came with a flat battery but one is on the way for me.

After I got it home I looked in the glovebox and discovered it was full of receipts from the lady who owned it in Hawthorne VIC (I live in SA) during the '90's, as well as the original service records (the same lady) and original instruction manual.

The fuse box is also incredibly tidy and not tampered with, which is a huge sigh of relief as I've skulked these forums before and read in the nightmares people have with them.

Anyway it drives great, save for the boaty stuffed shocks and the little puddle of diesel I awoke to under the back of it this morning :/

Anyway.

As far as I can see it was delivered to Sanderson Motor Co Hawthorne on 1/5/79 for the price of $9,298.00 with $235.00 stamp duty to a Mrs Lavina McArdle of Church St Richmond and at some point in the 90's the car found a new home in SA as that's when the receipts stop.

I'll upload pictures when I work out how to but it's not much to look at lol

Thanks for reading
