mk1 and mk2 goodies!!

[roccodingo]

anyone know the history of the gti mk1 ? doesnt look like it has a sun roof? if we get the VIN can we do a search?

Aint no GTI engine in it, GTI engine code will be EG------. You can see the mechanical fuel pump + no oil cooler housing on the front of the block..

my gti starts with dx?

[roccodingo]

DX will be a 1.8 , All GTI's were 1.6 up til end of 82 model year IIRC engine code EG, 1600 CC 81 kW. So is yours factory genuine or a clone

the GTI in Qld (Esk) is not a GTI.
Its a bitsa.
It has a fuel injected engine from a passat (JN) but running 4 motorcycle carbies.
5 speed close ratio (FM)
Best body I have seen since I last had one.
NO Rust.
Lots of new/different panels.
Colour include white, black, duck egg blue and martini olive.
Well worth the buy it now price.
But my bose said NO toys til our daughter finishes Uni (2013)

that swallowtail (with the 2E) was originally owned and built by Valver I believe. Then owned by another forum member in QLD before being shipped down south

Well spotted!! Man, it's certainly gone to the pack since I last saw it, though. It was actually my brother that used to own it and he had the 2E fitted by Andrew Robinson.

Before the 2E, it had a 9A 16v, but this never ran, as the motor was an imported dud with no compression. This was pulled out and fitted to Andrew's competition car if memory serves me well.

The Mk1 left Tassie with a guy called Cameron Krt, but I think he had a lot of trouble with it - I lost track of it after that... Until now anyway!

In other news, that other Mk1 is certainly not a GTI. I'm sick of chumps trying to flog off their Mk1s as GTIs and rip people off!!

Im glad to announce, the history now continues with myself. I have plans of stripping it down, and properly fully restoring the body.
