    Didn't think that aussie mk 2's ever came with sunroofs. (we did only get 1 spec of car after all).

    Does it have a glass roof? I looks like it does. I'm pretty sure it's aftermarket (maybe dealer fitted). post some pics the controls!


    i like volkswagens

    i've seen a few with i think a factory sunroof.
    it should be a two way electric one.
    (1) slides back into the roof, (2) tilts up.
    they have a browny tint to the glass and a sliding fabric/metal panel in the interior.

    have to say they are pretty cool better than my old windy one

    hold on.... spike, did you buy that from dandenong???

    Sounds just like the one Stiggy discribed.



    Hope this helps, If it anything to go by, it doesn't leak?!
    I bought the car in Werribee but the guy lives in Dandy.

    Did I say it didn't leak? What I meant to say is that it leaks like a sieve.....Just been hit by a massive storm and the gti got stranded out doors. All of the head liner, the back seats and the newly made parcel shelf are dripping wet. The up side is under the dash seems to have fared ok.

    Yeah, me an a mate (Eltonking) went to look at it a few months back. Not too bad but needed resto. Gutters were rooted, theres something wrong with the AC too. And the list goes on.
    But it was a bargain and I'm glad to see you picked it up and lookin after it

    Hows the engine pull?? It seemed pretty good, also it's got a after market exhaust and sounds like mine!!!

    Yep that's it, Eltonkng mentioned he had a look at it. the gutter is a litte perished but just needed clipped back in, few other bits and pieces needed fixing up but only really minor stuff. The engine pulls pretty well, new plugs and oil, and she seems pretty happy. Knocked a further $500 off the price too.

    Went for the rwc today, needs minor stuff. Quick question, would pedal rubber from a mk3 be the same as the mk2 ones?

    It's been a long time between posts.
    I went and picked up the new rims today from Jarred, Thanks mate, nice to meet you too. Had to test fit one when I got home. The right rear door is off getting a dent smoothed out. and It'll be off to an auto elec soon to get a couple of things sorted.
