    Have a quick search through a few resto threads, and through the mk 1 section. There's heaps of info available as to what works & whats easiest.

    I`d go EFI and full harness from a Mk3, heaps more reliable than a big dirty carby.

    Golf Loon, I have seen that you are the man for this sort of thing, your scirocco must be a bit of fun

    EFI 2L 8valve? How much coin for a drive in drive out job?

    Cheers

    I cant take on another conversion at the moment mate and you are pretty far away.

    Find a wrecked Mk3 up in Brissie and take all the good stuff.

    Basically you need engine, gearbox and full wiring loom from the fusebox forwards. The only real wiring is to hook up your Mk1 lights to the Mk3 oom and cut out the A/C and other bits you dont need.

    My caddytastic thread in the Mk1 section shows the job I did on my Mk1 Caddy. 2L EFI.

    And yes the Rocco goes very nicely thanks mate

    Mate i am actually a bit further than Brisbane, in Singapore working at the moment...so havent even driven the Citi or seen it in the flesh

    Maybe down the track I'll drive down to Sydney and let you work your magic...not too handy with a spanner unfortunately - but I'll check out your caddy build for info.

    Cheers Scoob
