Importing a Mk2 2 door

[ryana89]

I don't think you mentioned it (perhaps I didn't read thoroughly enough)
But do you plan on flushing and chaning the coolant over to G12?

Enjoy

well it has taken me about an hour Dan but I have read your thread from start to finish. I am looking at bringing in a mk1 GTI as there is nothing forsale here. Few questions.

Would you do it again?

What was the total cost of bringing the car in ex the cost of buying the car? So shipping, insurance, reg and engineers cet.

What did you need to do in the end for the engineers cet? did you need to put side bars in? 3rd rear light? etc

Many thanks

only just stumbled on this thread. i've got a 1981 Mk1 GTi that came over from the UK in 2004, got all the import paperwork the previous owner filled out if you want to have a nosey over it some time. might be of use, might not, but the offer's there.

Would definitely do it again but would need to be in the money and to get something really rare to be worth it.

Haven't gone over all the details but was just under 6k for all the shipping and tax, that's the boner

Engineering took ages due to too loud and too low, running rich too so took a bit of magic to get it right. In Canada at the moment but can't wait to get back and hammer it

Saw loads of mk2 golfs and jettas over here, they love em

If you need any help don't hesitate to ask. Be glad too

We did a dodgy on the bars, so skipped that. Don't need a 3rd brake light but got one from the u.s as. Don't want a rear bender

Wow!! My freaking god! There's just something about the G60s, and you've gone thru so much to get her here. Well done man, i wish you the best. Would love to see her.
