Pickles auctions ?

[Juzzpc]

Hey, I own a 94 gl and It's an auto, can't complain car was free from a dad's mate who didn't want it anymore.
Car runs but there's was a big hole in the bottom of the radiator , so my dad took it to a friends auto shop just to get the cooling system checked out, and look for any major issues , blah blah blah ordered new radiator and it's on it's way, but as I'm on my Ls and on 17 I want my first car to be a manual and not an auto.

So I haven't had too much luck finding many wrecking mk3s , but has anyone bought any donor cars off pickles salvage auctions , there's a vr6 on there ATM in qld but too far for me
Circa 94, Volkswagen, Golf, Hatchback - Pickles Auctions Australia

Or would it be better to goto the wreckers and source the parts for a conversion ?

I'd say it'd be easier to sell the car and buy a manual instead.
A guy on here posted about having converted an auto to a manual. Maybe he can shed some light on the process.

Uh ohhhh....Can anyone confirm that the wrecked vr6 is my old one? The ad isn't up anymore, did anyone save a pic by any chance?

Looked like your old one. Can't imagine many other dark coloured 3 door vr6s in qld.

Considering it had a photo of the import plate.
