MK1 GTI RESTORATION JOB
« on: 27 September 2004, 23:32 »
Hi
i'm currently restoring a mk1 gti 1.6 V reg, i'm after some info on the model, it's the one with the small back lights, the checked seats and 5 speed box.
Was this model fitted with the windscreen 'deflecters' and what wheels would have been fitted to car from new.
I am after some parts as well. 4 Branch manifold and performance exhaust, also a lowering kit and a original radio.
Not seen a V reg gti for about 10 years so not sure about what should be fitted to it.
Any help would be good.....

Thanks Mike

I cant help with any of the parts, but I would be interested to see a few pictures of before, during and after the restoration. Sounds like it could be quite a rare car once complete.

No wind deflectors should be fitted.

Wheels should be either 5.5 x 13 steels or the optional alloys in the same size like on my car below

Have to ask where did you get the mud flaps? Mine on my car are broken, need to replace? :)

Absolutely fantastic, beautiful. My first introduction to VW's was that car when it was only 7 years old, spitting image...........so good to see one this far down the line looking so original. How I wish I had never let mine go :(
