i like your plans for the cabby... shouldn't be too hard to change the bolt on stuff that appears to have attached itself over the years

is the car any particular special edition?

Hello!!

I'm not sure yet she comes home this wk, as I say she was a whim eBay purchase. Sadly if she is I doubt there is anything origOnal left  :cry: she's a '90 gti I'm gonna be honest and say I don't know much about the Cab models, most of my experience comes from the mk2 and the brief episode with the campaign. It's been 6 years since I had a
VW  :shocked: other than the Sharan  :embarassed:


Is there anything I should look out for? She's been modded so until I can get her in my grubby paws n do some digging I won't know.

there is a link somewhere on the mk1oc for a list of things to look out for or it might be in the mk1 maintenance section

mine is a 91 and had a knackered fuel filler pipe (amongst a host of other things) which is very common apparently

look for damp patches, water entry into the boot and footwells

make sure the scuttle panel drainage points are clear before winter or garage or cover if you can
