Well despite getting it home and the lads giving it a good clean before I started on the trim it was too dark for pics.
The family I bought it off had four (all GLD runners although this and yellow one now sold) and it they had been looked after.
Had to laugh they bought some of them for the kids to drive to the bus stop and I mean young kids lol. The place was well off the beaten track. Great country folk!
Pictures as I found it.
Driving back it was clear the brakes needed a bleed as they barely worked but I'm amazed at the n/a power. Sure it isn't quite as brisk as a 1600 petrol but it isn't miles off.
Neither is it low geared like many diesels I've driven so the 4 spd will happily sit on 110 without being deafening. Fuel economy is mental - drove 150kms home and used under 1/4 tank and I wasn't hanging around
I'm going to run it for awhile and then sell it before we move house in the new year.
E30 wagon is a mates you don't find many of them in the country lol.

Tidy looking machine there. Looks a lot like another on here recently bought by a guy in Victoria. There's something quintessentially golf about a GLD. And four in the one place...
Did you have a choice of three?
Oh, and MK1 brakes barely work at the best of times![]()

Cheers guys. I did have a choice of the three lined up although they always wanted to keep two.
White one had a head gasket on the way out and the yellow one had been kicked in at some point by vandals although was in good nick otherwise.
Steve I know mk1 brakes are bad but the pedal goes to the floor sooooo bad. Sorting that out wednesday morning before organising a mk1 photo shoot.
