been looking for a budget car to tinker with over the winter for use next spring after owning german cars as dailys for two years decided to have a complete change from the classic ford scene, bought this last week, new wheels fitted today here with my daily mercedes plans are a mechanical check over during the winter, and a few small mods, need an offside rear light if anyone can help??? cheers danny

Love it. I really miss my old '86 1.6GT I had a few Mk2 Sirocco's too ,whilst not the fastest, the 1600 GT was the sweetest of engines .. I've got some bits still..I might have a rear light , Let you know next week . I know there's a pair of door mirrors and red grill somewhere in the shed..!

thanks, ive been into fords for nearly 30 years had all the usual stuff,capris cortinas escorts granadas owned so many i cant remember them all!! but this is my first vw, go to say it seems to have a massive following and ive had some great help in the 2 weeks ive owned it, with a growing family fords no longer sit in my budget so this car fits my needs perfectly, rare, clean and accepted into the scene,,, winner allround!!

Actually, looking at your shot of the back, perhaps your lenses aren't the stripe tinted type?
I would get a pair if you can though - they look way better....

hi mate looks pretty nice. i've not long sold my escort rs turbo after many years of also having classic fords as second cars. i also fancied a change and purchased a mk2 golf off a friend this yearto tinker with in my spare time.
