how is that even drivable?

and are you refering to plastic panel between lights? i got one but is all black. and dont have rabbit on it.. or is that a aftrermarket thingy?

[WABIT]

well... most rare parts never came to OZ or the U.S! so they were never named in english... hence vw coming from germany, most parts are still in german language, you may not know it, but youll start understanding german words once affilliated with VW's

nope, thats something different all together. that part is a factory GLD thing ( i believe) where as the red thing with rabbit is a proper aftermarket part.

yer thats what im talking about, the bit with rabbit written on it.

hehehe....I'm with you Dom.......I learnt 'Schiebedach' or sunroof pretty quickly back in '91/92 whilst searching for that rare Golde sunroof part for my steel-sunroof '66 bug in the back-blocks of Bavaria, and also Wolfsburg..

Damn Dom spewing it got broken mate. I was stressing about posting that to you as i was worried good old australia post would bust it

[WABIT]

nah dude! i had it on my garage wall, dad went to get something about 3 meters away, turns out that thing was 4 meters long and took the hekeblend with it! i almost cried!!!

I bet you are absolutely spewing, how bad did it break?? I had never seen one in Australia before and i had been into golfs for 12 years so when i stumbled across that in an old mans shed when he sold me a golf i paid good$$$$$$ for it as i knew it was special. So sad to hear it has gone. On another note if you knew someone excellent with plastics another could be made up using the original as a template?

[WABIT]

being so old, the plastic was brittle and pretty much broke like glass! i couldn't believe my eyes! it broke like 5-6 ways and it only dropped about 1.5 meters ARRRGH! THIS BRINGS BACK SHI*TY MEMORIES one of the crappiest things that happened to me involving volkswagens!

dom

[Volksee77]

yeah sorry to hear it mate. Didn't know it would go like that but it was pretty old i suppose. I'll keep an eye out for another in the US i think
