Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • SOLD 1978 Golf GLS Yellow

    for sale $750 neg

    1978 VW Golf GLS 128,000kms

    Last registered mid 2011

    The good
    It is largely unmolested. Everything works and is standard (except for the steering wheel, black bonnet and colorcoded bumpers by PO.....)
    Shocks and cv boots have been replaced and are good.
    Tie rod and rack ends are good
    ball joints are good
    brakes pads are good
    Hand brake works very well
    Has new clutch (previous owner)
    Tidy interior - no tears in the front seats, although the bolsters are a bit flat
    Straight body with good doors, floorpans, sills boot.
    The brakes lines that run under the carpet are good
    Doesn't leak oil or coolant.
    4 roadworthy tyres on std rims

    The bad
    Surface rust, mostly on roof
    A-pillars show bubbles


    THe car would maybe need a windscreen for roadworthy, depending on the particular inspector:


    Although it is not perfect paint wise, it would make an excellent base for project car or a tidy reliable daily driver as is.

    Car is located near Castlemaine in Victoria.

      Same price, but with cv boots replaced. The windscreen is actually very good so it might get through a roadworthy as is.

      Bump.

                  Car was sold on ebay to a bloke who is going to charity rally it to Perth via Uluru. If you're in the market for a Mk1 and you're in WA, keep your eye out as it will be auctioned upon arrival with the proceeds going to charity.

                        Hi Danny and welcome. I saw some of you guys heading through Bendigo a couple of months back. How was it?

                        I should be able to sort you out with some key spares to help you get there.

                        See you Friday!

                          Hey, yeah busy with work but I suppose that's a good thing !! I have been surfing the net looking at different things to do to the golf, I need to find some comfy front seats, and work out what can go wrong with a golf so I have spares ( I will pick your brain over that ) I would like to fit a weber to it as I know how to service a weber, I need to organize some fundraising as well it's still 10 months away until we leave but the time goes quick
