Hey Mitch, she's looking great. So glad you're getting so much use and she's still turning heads.
With the sunroof, the wiring should be fine - from memory the sunroof was disabled because either...

Hey Mitch how's the Golf going? Any more done to it?
Hey Mitch, she looks awesome in the photos and I'm stoked she's gone to a good home.
There's a Golf-sized hole in the garage now and much to my wife's annoyance I'm already talking about filling...
I'd be interested to know the answer to that one as well.
I've got an '81 GTi which seems to enjoy long periods of resting up between short sharp blasts around the south-east of Melbourne...
Having just gone back to the UK to retrieve the replacement radiator from my parents house, I figured I should get it installed.
So, no more coolant pissing out everywhere. For the time being.
...
So I'm at Lardner Park watching the rally and my mate nudges me and points to the car the hillside opposite, where there's a Mk2 GTi gracefully pirouetting around the car park...
In about an hour, GTI81 will be getting an oil and filter change. For about the first time in four years (estimate).
And before anyone chips in, yes I know it's a long time, but the car has only...
The what? I just go there to be thrown around and have my back go click. It's too short a distance from Moorabbin to take the Golf though :(
GTI16V in the car park at my Physio. Wish I hadn't been in the Corollaskate, would have made a cool photo op...
Not today, but I finally got around to replacing the fuel tank and fuel sender gauge and the car put all four wheels on the ground for the first time in well over a year. And all done on the day the...
Ok, so technically i'm not a newbie, but i've been away for so long I figured I should probably say hello again before bringing you up to speed with GTI81 developments...
So, um hello. Again...
I've got it resting on the points just inside the sills. Work will resume tomorrow as i've got a bit of a hangover today and the last thing I want is the aroma of petrol... Watch this space for...
It's trying to find that 'sweet spot' on the chassis that is causing the headache. Last time I jacked the car up and rested it on stands somewhere other than the axle beam, something got slightly...
So, in the nine or so months since GTI81 ground to a halt on Kingsway and there followed a long period of umming and ahhing, not much has happened in the squirrely garage, mainly as i've been busy...
Decided we're going to get it up on the hoist, and circulate a few litres of petrol through a paper filter and try and flush as much of the crap out. Time to invest in a tow rope just in case we...
Been a while, hope you're all well. Time and life (and a severe lack of money or enthusiasm) have conspired to keep me away from both the car and this place, but today I finally got around to looking...
Sorry mate, just bog standard radio.
Fitted and tested. Much better :)
Dizzy cap and rotor arriving today hopefully...

Both rear quarters damaged. Panels totally fine from B-pillar forward. Most parts including interior and glasswork...
Gutted not to have made it, looks like it was a top day and I would have been in car porn heaven. Roll on SEDF...
:cool:
nice one, looking forward to seeing more pics.
It'll hopefully work out okay tomorrow when my new distributor cap (50/50 chance, bet i've got the wrong one!) and rotor arrive.
No just me going mental and thinking yours was an orange mk1 on VIC plates. Where the hell did I get that idea from?
Massive thanks to Gav for loaning me cap, rotor and leads from his 1.6, sadly couldn't get things to work in the limited time I had last night, and the fairly large puddle of coolant on the garage...
Stephy northbound on Punt Road about 5pm Friday night.
