I ran one for four years. I got called a hairdresser but not a girl ! :laugh:

mk1 cabs are quality cars, they look the dogs and are a head turner. :cool: They don't look bad with the roof down in the summer either. :wink:

i brought it  :grin: looks wkd! but not happy!!! the owner forgot to tell me that the filler neck was fcuked so its benn pissing petrol n its in the garage being fixed!! why cant people be HONEST when sellin something. i'll take some pics when i get it back n post them so u guys can tell me what you think

Title: Re: mk1 golf convertables
Post by: gibby on 05 November 2008, 23:57

Maybe not a bad thing with the fuel filler neck as they are renowned for letting rust get into the fuel system, so best to change it straight away anyway. But yes, what a tw*t for not being honest.

Title: Re: mk1 golf convertables
Post by: rubjonny on 06 November 2008, 10:39

to be fair though its something that should always be checked when buying a MK1 ;)

Title: Re: mk1 golf convertables
Post by: big_vw_ash on 06 November 2008, 22:56

never mind ay its done now  :grin: does any1 know if mk2 seats fit in the mk1 because the runners look the same?

Title: Re: mk1 golf convertables
Post by: adam_mk2 on 07 November 2008, 13:59

i should be buying me one of these this evning, very excited. ill definelty be checking the fuel filler neck then

Title: Re: mk1 golf convertables
Post by: rubjonny on 07 November 2008, 16:13

they'll fit but the forward/back handle is on the wrong side, can still pull the pin across wi ya finger tho, not like you move em that often.  If its a later cab the foam, fabric and upper seat back from pre-90 MK2 seats will fit on the MK1 frames, provided they're the sports seats with the bolsters.
You can sometimes swap the handles over on the bases, providing the height adjust mechanism isnt in the way!

Mk1 rags are cool. They just have a bit of a stigma, usually set by blokes who haven't got the balls or confidence to drive one! I bought my bronze mk1 for my fiancee, but we'll both drive it when it's done!!  :cool:
