Just out of interest is there anyone that specialises in non gen repalcement panels and such mostly for the A-pillars, scuyttle panels and front floor pans?

Yes, just no-one in Australia unfortunately. See Crazyquiff's Mk1 Golf

If your looking for a good mod camira breaks from a holden - one of the eastiest break transfers. the only thing you need to do drill out the holes on the strut where the cable goes through - the rest is a an easy fit like ant other oh yea mk3 vented disc help too!

has anyone ever put mk2 gti seats in a mk1? i am also wondering if anyone has ever put a mk2 big bumper on there mk1

[Jarred]

mk 2 gti seats will fit straight into a mk 1.

you could make mk 2 bumpers fit a mk 1, but it's incredibly ugly, so please dont.

Probably not looking hard enough or read enough threads yet, but just have a few questions? (possibly in the wrong place to post also)

- Who is the best on here to get coilovers for a MK1 Golf?
- What fuel do you use? (I have 1.6L Carbie motor)
- Any good second hand places in Brisbane/Gold Coast/Sunny Coast to get parts/accessories?

[WalentyWysocki]

Yes, it"s good
