Right you lot, I have done the last repair to my Campaign in fixint the drivers seat tilt mechanism and repairing the bolsters with some original cloth. Looks pretty good if I dont say so myself.
Got a couple of little bits of trim on their way to me but there are just 3 things that I cannot get hold of for the life of me....
Handle for drivers seat tilt mechanism and plastic cover for drivers side bottom seat belt mount. Finally the cubby hole thing that goes where the stereo should be.
Cant locate any in scrappies, ebay etc. If anyone can help youd be helping to put a damn nice Campaign back to its former glory. You will be rewarded financially also. So get digging in your spares and help!!!!!!!
-
Sorry i haven't got anything that old ;)
-
Gues not, you have a common car so you can get anything you need from Halfords!!!
-
Don't go there mate i go to VW ::)
-
Almost certain I can help with the first 2. Ebay for the cubby hole.
Unfortunately the seat tilt knobs I have don't have the small metal cip in them hence they don't stay on. Might be able to do something to make them stay on. :-\

Hi Rich, yeah a glob of no more nails should secure the handle. If you have got those 2 parts id really appreciate if we can come to an arrangement. How much do you want for them??
P.s that is some deal getting that MK1. Was the guy clueless of what!!!!!!!
Golf VR6 - You shouldnt waste your money, I use Eurocarparts for my MK3. They are never going to be classics!!!!! ;)
-
No he was a really nice guy that just didn't want the hassle and expense of getting rid of it. He appreciated getting his garage back and was pleased that the car went to a good home.
-
I'll have a look to see what I actually have, probably on Friday. Remind me if I don't get back to you.

VR6 is already a classic :-* :-*

VR6 is already a classic
I thinkyou misheard whoever said that - they probably said "VR6 is Jurassic" - i.e. big, overweight, and likely to become extinct, like a dinosaur
-
Oh dear you mk1/cab boys are biting hard :-*
-
Mk1/cab might not be overweight, but it certainly is underpowered , big time! :-*
-
I'm sure Freud had something to say on excessive power being a substitue for a shortfall in other areas ;)
besides' you need to drive slow in these babies, so everyone can see you 8) ( maybe that why you have to go so fast, - to avoid being seen ::) )
-
Need for speed ;) but not in a cab :-*
-
VR6 isnt a classic, it the best of a very bad bunch ie MK3 Golfs. Best forgotten!
-
Without doubt the worst looking golf they made... I'd pick a MK1 cab over a MK3 GTI anyday... :( ;)
-
Yeah you're right!! I'd pick a cab over a mk3 gti, but not over a mk3 vr6 :-*

Justin,
I was trying to post a reply to this earlier, unfortunately the forum went down :(
The lower seat belt trim that I thought I had is actually from a Mk2 and, unfortunately, is different.
As for the seat tilt handle, is this it?

Thats the handle for sure!!!!! How much you after fro it Rich?
-
Its yours, don't want anything for it.
One of these days I'll clear the shed out, don't hold your breath mind. I have a feeling that buried deep inside are some Mk1 seat belts with that trim..........but I can't be certain. I may have chucked them out a few years ago, the last time I had a clear out and decided I wouldn't be going back to Golf's again. Should have known better ::)

All packaged up and ready to go. Its so light that an ordinary first class stamp should suffice. I'll post it on the way home from work today.

Much appreciated Rich, no more bruised fingers for me then trying to raise the seat with the metal lever!!!! Let me know if there are any bits you need in the future.
