Pommie Mk 1 Karman Ghia Cab 89

[Stevieboy]

Hi all, Stevieboy here
STORY
Have had our 1989 Mk 1 Golk Kharman Ghia Cab since 95/6 (Bought it for wife but hardly used it)
brought it out to Australia in 97/8, we were on a working visa so car was on a Carnet De Pasage (Bloody Nightmare)
Drove it on UK plates & was registered as an unregistered vehicle !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyway told a few times we would have to send back because Carnet had expired but we obtained Residency & then citizenship
so was allowed to keep in country but must upgrade to Aus standards ie: rear seat belt bar
By this time we had garaged the Golf & purchased an Aussie car, apart from the odd late night spurt around the roads it has remained in the garage, washed, polished & covered in the toooooooo hard basket.
Went to the Shannons Classic day last year at Eastern Creek & thought my car could give some of these a run for their money
so have been thinking of either getting car compliance & on road or selling
Any ideas on cost of first option & or values on the second ?
Car is Central Coast NSW
So over to yous'e

I'm not sure how much it would cost to get the work done but you'll need a compliance plate and maybe a modifcation plate after its done (for road worthy anyway). Those blue plates cost roughly $120 each I think.

Have you thought about just getting club rego? I 'm not sure on the specifics but im sure someone else on here will be able to fill you in.

P.S.
You wanna go onto an image hosting site like flickr or photobucket or www.tinypic.com and upload your pics to that and then link them in here using the Picture icon in the toolbar above the message (left of the film strip).

[I.M.G.] this is where your image URL should be [/I.M.G.]

Like that ^^ only without the full stops.

Good Luck, both with the images and the car.

I would like to see some pictures of this car...

Dont give up its got to be worth it especially as you have not just dumped the car.

I have been looking into buying another of these as I miss the one I had in the UK.



Once you get pictures uploaded to Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket copy the tag with [IMG] next to it and paste it on here.

Hope it helps,

Rob

Hey mate, welcome to the forum. Where on the Coast are you? I'm point Clare and also have a cabby. Be keen to meet up and talk golfs etc.

Check out the Clubs, meets and events section. Theres a dyno day coming up and the Nationals too.

Hit me up with a pm if you want to meet up. Also, I have an idea about your rear seatbelt bar.
