Hello from Australia

Hi all,

The names Cameron and I own a 1977 Mk1 GLS Automatic.

It is in pretty good nick and was owned by the original owner for 32 years.

My plans are to run a Turbo Heron motor with lower compression Mahle pistons on K-Jetronic. Does anyone think this is do-able?

Ill upload some photos soon.

Cheers

Hi and welcome

I recognise your name from vwwatercooled. Iv only seen your 79 GTI though. Do you still have that?

Edit: Just realised I was looking at your '77 on vwvortex. Looks really nice

Hi Cameron!
A car having the same owner for 32 years is very impressive!    Look forward to seeing the photos. I'd post up your engine query in the technical section to get advice a bit quicker (not everyone visits the Newbies section regularly).
Cheers

Hi From Wales! & Welcome!

Hey guys,

Thanks for the warm welcome

Yeah Ross, thats my yellow beasty on vwvortex, the 79 GTI I did not end up buying unfortunately as the seller is a complete ….. yeah lets not go there  :roll:

Heres some pics… enjoy

























A few of my parts including Rikens, most have been installed except the wheels

Wow, great looking car! Nice colour. I see you've made friends with a yellow 5 door too.  :wink:

Love yellow MK1s really nice mate and some great pics too.

Well, today I test fitted the Riken Turbos. 20mm spacers on the front is too much (Don't get me wrong, I love poke but I need to actually drive this car.. )

20mm on the rear is not enough, I think 25mm rear and 15mm front will be perfect.

Now for pics

Hello and Welcome From E?re

Nice MK1 :wink:

Love the Wheels

Hi Cameron & welcome, nice looking car  
Will tell my lad to keep his eyes peeled for it in Helensvale, I'm more than sure it'll catch his eye  

Chris

I hope he drives a golf as well! Ill be living about 5 mins away from Helensvale but you already know that!

I hope he's not, he doesn't turn 11 'til June    Keep yours locked tho' just to be on the safe side

PS Just posted on your knocking issue, sounds like CV joint  :roll:

Ah yes, lets hope he is not driving either haha

11 maybe a little too young for that, even in an uncouth bogan country like Australia

Yeah, think it is the CV. Lucky I am stripping her down once we move, full restoration begins!

Hey mate,

Where in Oz are you from? I've moved over to Brisbane from Scotland and have a MK1 Golf Cabrio that is basically finished bar a few little styling items. I noticed that there were quite a few old Golf's in your photos, do you know if there is a MK1 club in Australia? Also, I was planning on getting quite a few of the parts you had purchased also and had sourced them on various web-sites. Did you manage to get them in OZ or did you order them from abroad on the web. Can you recommend anywhere for these parts?

Cheers mate,

Marty

Lovely pics mate…. Lovely car… :wink:
You keeping the orignal engine or going for the mods then ?
