few australian delivered 5 Doors around. (GTIs)
and not a whole lot of 3 doors.

Just have to keep an eye out

I've seen a couple of 5 doors advertised on carsales.com and they were both $7500. All the officialy imported cars here are 5door 90hp 8v's.

Here's one....... Clicky

I'm in the same situation (came over from the UK last year) and decided to look for a UK car to import. Although it's going to be expensive there's more choice that way and easier to find what you want.

I'm kicking myself for selling my MK2 instead if bringing it with me. If I knew there were so few over here I wouldn't have done that

You need to get one from the UK. If its pre 88 you can bring it without restriction. No tax
There are a few threads on here about it, use the search feature.

I did bring mine and wouldn't bother doing it again. Buy a mk2 16v over here rather than bring one. Got to be cheaper. Sure it may take awhile but it will take ten weeks to ship one. Then you have to wait another six weeks before they can inspect the car so you can register it. That's my opinion anyway.

my mate, who is a very intermittent member on here, has a 5 door '91 GTI. he might want to sell this year sometime too...

You should have brought it wth you, Ian! Simple process if you've owned it for >1year. I love Mk2s and after seeing Benny's, my first, on the Tamar cruise it's now my ambition to get a 1.6 turbo diesel perhaps from NZ.

Welcome Ian

I don't know about WA sites but try www.carsales.com.au, Trading Post and WA's local paper.

Good Luck
