So I'm back in a VW and got myself a MK1 GTI. Bought it from Sydney and drove it home back to Melbourne. Car didn't skip a beat!
There's a few things that need to be done before rwc, but they all seem to be electrical related which I have no clue about. None of the dash lights work, need to wire up the gauges, need to replace the speedo disk with one that shows MPH.
The mechanical issues that need sorting out is new starter motor (potentially), new exhaust (current one seems too big and rattles and bashes everything haha) and new extractors (current hurricane one seems to foul shift mechanism - to be tested).
Also on the immediate fix list are the tyres. Currently are 175/65/15 and will swap to a 185/45/15. Anyone have suggestions on which brands make that size and where to source from?
The tint is 15% so i will need to remove that for Vic rwc as well.
I've already ordered a new set of silver side stripes so will stick them on once they get delivered.
More pics soon!
