    The engine is the easiest bit to fix. I`d be more interested in checking that it had no rust in the floors etc. If you are not worried about originality, you might as well get one that someone has modified and spent lots on for cheaper than a stock one. No one except a purist can tell if its an original GTI or a lookalike and it doesn`t really matter as a drivers car, both are great fun.

      What you mean this one?



      Used to belong to a friend's dad. I have been using it as inspiration for my own project.

        Andrew Cowans went back to the UK?
        There was another one built here from a LS (Kevin Bartlett?) for the Southern Cross. That one was RHD.

        Long time ago and memory is fading

          I should say that the photo and Dave's recolections are keeping my spirits up. His dad owned 2 GTI's I think Kevin was involved too.

          Don't s'pose you have any colour pics? I will be doing mine in similar red and blue on white (but without the Selley's sponsorship)

            That's a big ask! I probably have some slides that I took as I was always into Golfs. Unfortunately it only lasted 1 night until it broke a CV or drive shaft or something. I remember speaking to him about his choice of cars and was always sceptical if the Golf was suitable for Australian rallies.

            Do you know what happened to it and the other one? Did the KB one end up in Chris Heyer's hands for Bathurst or is that another replica?
