        Glad to see you are enjoying the accoustics. You dont get that with modern emission controlled cars.

        By the way, the 4 headlight grill is the trademark thing that everyone thinks of with a Mk1 GTI. Although technically you are correct in putting a 2 headlight grille on, it loses some GTIness in my book and just looks like all the other aussie Mk1s. Plus you cant see at night. Just my 2c.

          Yeah, I know what you mean Matt. I will def be keeping the twin headlight grille anyway, so we'll see how it goes.

          Oh, my old 2004 MINI Cooper S used to snap, crackle and pop like that too, kind of.

              For a car that turns 30 in a few months, the interior plastics/vinyl scrub up okay. Although, I probably should have taken the finished pics after I vacuumed the carpets, haha...

                Congrats, owning a Mk1 GTI is probably on most people here's wishlists, but few will get the opportunity to make it a reality.

                  New ID tags. They're not the best looking, but we don't have too many suitable options in the ACT.

                      Might need to revive the ACT Euro plate petition, haha.

                            Looking great. Just noticed the exhaust is that a genuine mk2 backbox/tips?

                            Remember getting a quote from VW when mine gave up for $600

                              I don't think they're OEM, but I guess Matt can answer that. I wouldn't mind changing to some subtle chrome tips...

                                Yeah its a Mk2 Backbox with the tips shortened a bit to fit the Mk1. Gotta keep it as OEM as possible.
