golf mk1 cabrio, i'm keeping this one standard...

[guile]

picked this little beauty up during my last break. got an unregistered vehicle permit and drove it back to brissy from ipswich. here are the photos the previous owner sent me as we organised the sale...









and a few of the close up good / not so good bits...









interior shots...

















and under the bonnet...

[guile]

got it back and gave it a quick scrub up before i start trying to fix the broken bits...





hoping i get something looking like this by the time i'm finished, the car looks pretty good too...



thought i'd try a filter for starters...

[guile]

if anyone knows anyone selling any carbrio bits i'm keen as mustard so give me a shout please...

[mjv79]

What parts are you chasing?

[mjv79]

This guy was breaking one, not sure what he has left. 0457 098 660 I think his name was Vince

I got a few bits.

[guile]

I think his name was Vince

thanks mate, i'd already spoken to vince and managed to get a few bits too. i don't really need that much. mainly chasing passenger side wheel arches and front bumper in the burgundy red colour...

also a good condition glove box and interior air con components...

some panels from the boot area and the spare wheel jack and tool kit...

[mjv79]

Its sounds like your buying parts for mine...

I ended up getting my arches & glove box lid from the uk. Arches were $60 and my glovebox lid was $30 shipped.

My glove box lid was peeling

The rear boot panels I bough from Werk34 in Germany.

I've a spare wheel jack, but nothing else that goes with it.

thanks mate but i'm not on facebook. i've pretty much managed to get most of the stuff i need so far. i just ordered a jack holder...



and strap...



they should look like this when installed...



now i'm chasing the tools to go in it, let me know if you're selling the jack please...

[guile]

and these are the photos that made me decide i wanted to buy it...



i have a feeling they were taken quite some time before i went to pick it up...

[sports racer]

Only a few years.

[guile]

Only a few years.

yep, give or take 12 months...

[guile]

i quite like this look, more chance of crapping on the moon then finding a vortex roof rack...

[guile]

new plate arrived, it's latin for I speed...

not sure i'll be speeding anywhere in this thing. not until the after the engine swap anyway...



Pronunciation
ˈfu.ɡi.o'

Love the roof rack, shame there like rocking horse poop....

I looked at my old jack over the weekend, its different to the one that sit's the holder, so its no good to you. sorry!
