Title: mk1 golf dimensions
Post by: bosco on 13 August 2011, 15:37

Just wondering does anyone know if a mk1 5 door is the same kind of dimensions as a 3 door? Have a rusty 5 door shell and was thinking about making it into a 3 door instead of scrapping it. Anybody know whats involved? Have a few friends who are very handy with TIG welding?

Cheers guys

Yes same size but major work to do what you want to do.

You would be looking at welding in the complete body sides, have seen Jetta's and Bora's done.

To make a 5 door, into a 3 door, you would need a 3 door donor shell, and 3 door doors.......... can you see where this is going!

Its alot of work for less gain, why not just restore the 5 door.
