I will try to lay this thread out like a diary as my project continues, so here is where it begins:

As many of you know, I have been hunting for a MkII or MkI golf for quite some time now...
Good thing is after so much searching and so much waiting, I have finally purchased one!

It is a 1977 MkI Golf GL
General specs are:
1.5L Petrol
Silver
Appears to have very little rust and panel damage
Immobiliser Fitted
Alarm Fitted
Remote central locking Fitted
Everything else stock

I phoned the lad named Anthony on Tuesday night after Gotrice posted it and another MkI from Canberra up in the Cars forsale section. It is rare to see one MkI/MkII here in Canberra nevermind two!
Anyway, yesterday afternoon, I went past Anthonys place after speaking...
The car looks great and drives well except for a low idle issue.

Anyway, we made a deal about 20 minutes later and we agreed on $1200, not to bad for a car in it's condition me thinks
Anthony said he had the car 18 months and learned to drive in it, before this it was owned by other Canberran's and believes it has been here it's whole life! (Probably why there is so little rust!)

But, before I go on too much I will say I pay for it and pick it up this afternoon, so should have some pics for you all in no time.

So thrilled to finally be onboard!
