    So very pleased to see another GTI in Victoria.
    If my experience with my own Mk1 Campaign can be of any assistance, please PM me.

    So yesterday I decided to take the window tint off the car. Never having done this before, I didn't know the amount of backbreaking Labour and swearing I would endure.

    I started off with the rear window. This was the hardest one. Trying to get all the glue off from in between the demister lines was a nightmare.









    6.5 hours, and 2 packs of cigarettes later I got the job done!

    Nice buy. Looks good.

    Did you pick this up in Botany by any chance? I'm sure I recognise it.

    Thanks guys. Slowly making progress.

    Hopefully more parts turn up the coming week. Keen to get on the tools.

    I bought this car off a fellow forum member from Sydney.

    My replacement Speedo disk came in today. It's an exact copy of the European MPH/KPH face.



    Wanted to keep it original like it came from the factory.
