    Heading to Australia

    Hey guys im Thomas from NZ (currently in Japan) heading to Jindabyne for the snow season. Im hoping to buy another Mk2 golf when I get into Australia depending what I can find for the price. My current car and first car in NZ is a mk2 golf with an ABF swap on k jet. Runs mk3 recaros and converted it to rear disc brakes (wide track) because it was a jap import with drum brakes.

    Unsure of what the laws are around modifying cars in Australia but it seems a lot harder than New Zealand, would love to ship the ABF motor over to Aus to swap it but seems a lot harder to get certified.

    ABF into a MK2 is a common swap here, quite a few MK2's are running them and there's no issues with rego.

    I thought the red tartan roof lining on my Ibiza was bad, yours looks like a throw rug.

    Your 2 door looks awesome though. Any plans to import to Oz?

    Cheers and welcome to the forum.
