Hi all, I bought a 91 GTI from Adelaide a few weeks back, and since have had a decent trek to get it manual converted, blue slipped and registered in NSW.
Super stoked to drive a manual mk2- feels like such an awesome little go-kart. It came with a genuine 125 000kms and a few little bits and bobs that i'll need to fix up- including the front grille- has a crack, back seat- doesn't clip into its upright latch, bonnet paint, breaks, springs and shocks- all being replaced next week.
Once i recover from the cost of the conversion, plans are: spaghetti manifold (does mk3 manifold fit with the rest of the exhaust?), engine upgrades, repaint wheels, give it a full detail, long term- I'm thinking a rainbow interior might be on the cards in a year or two, also a close-door white respray eventually. Planning on keeping it relatively stock. SUPER keen to put some effort into it and make it mint
HUGE thanks to Matt for the awesome golf, Sports racer for all the help and advice. And cheers to Matt from Camden GTI for hooking up the manual swap
