Hi guys new to the forum just having a look how you do it Aus style, as i am thinking of moving to aus with my 81 gti, i had to check out the dubs first
Do you guys find it hard getting gti parts and stuff down there? how costly is it to get them sent from the uk and germany? if anyone has any experience of doing that?
Looking forward to getting to know you all and helping out with gti parts if i can?
Thanks
Rich

Hi mk1rich. Welcom e to the forum! Good to have you here. I hope you enjoy it. We are a friendly bunch here.
We didn't get mk1 GTIs but there are a fair few imported ones over here these days. Some parts are hard to find. Golf Loon and some others import parts from over there at times. Would be good to see you and your GTI here!
Cheers, Andrew

G'day and welcome. There's been much discussion about importing cars and parts on this forum. Just do a search using "import" as your key word and all will be revealed.

Cool, as long as i am not stuck for a ready supply of gti bits i am happy will get some pics of my ride up asap, i love the amount of pre 79-80 small bumper mk1s you have out there, that will be the first thing i buy when i get there!
Was the G60 an offical model in aus? as me and my mate produce a supercharger kit based on the eaton charger for all vw engines except the vr6 and rely on quite a few stock G40 & G60 parts like gaskets and stuff
Thanks for the welcome
Rich
