Matt at Camden GTi can hook you up with Complete mk3 1800 for $500 to your door.... I know cause i bought one about 6 weeks ago :D
Only difference is the top radiator hose, and you'll need a electric fuel pump setup

My.var is diesel so id have to change.more wouldnt I?
For your car you'd need an electric fuel pump, carby & manifold, dizzy, coil and a tank full of petrol.
Your diesel top radiator hose is correct for a 1800.
Here's a diesel I converted earlier :-)

Hey, I've actually hit 140 in a mk 1 GLD. Going down hill a bit. On a closed road.
please don't strip it or wreck it. It' looked to clean for that. If you don't want to give it the love/attention it needs, pass it on to someone that does!
x2 on that. Mk1's dont grow on trees you know...Quote:

grab you number plates and try again!
