Nice work man, just got back from a 1100ks round trip skiing, glad you got it, now look after it.

Yes, from Holbrook.

Just noticed, it has one of the early bonnets on it.

Drove faultlessly all the way home, freeway driving in a 1600 4 speed sucks though.

Will post some more pics tomorrow, the bumpers are mint chrome wise they are just bent up will do my best to straighten them.

I'm off to bed

yellow

kinda pale, out-in-the-sun-for-30-years-yellow.

it seems to be that rare yellow colour that not a lot of mk1s have anymore... but i would say its not beige.

[Jarred]

dare i say it is wattle yellow, like my ol 76er [pre paint of course]

esp if it's an early bonnet, which i'm guessing makes it a 76, and probably aussie built, hence the wattle yellow, which was a dulux colour.

How am i doing?

Just went out and took some quick shots, the colour code is clr 719 which i believe is Wattle Yellow. Still has the colour code sticker and some stickers on the underside of the bonnet about the polution gear

Car in completely un tampered with except a push button start due to the ignition switch dying and a cd player put in, but they didnt cut up the door trims for speakers

Also the first time i have seen a working factory vw clock from this era, be it golf, beetle whatever

These new pics arnt that great the light outside was bad.




Country dust...


Early "swallowtail" bonnet??

[Jarred]

great pick up i reckon. well worth it, just need to straigten that front bad, give it a cut and polish, and clean that engine bay and i reckon you are set!

stock orig is cool too .

and yes, that's a swallowtail bonnet, be VERY CAREFUL! when shutting the bonnet don't push down too hard on the front 'swallowtail' bit otherwise it'll ding. like mine.

CLR719 also rings a bell as the CC
