Hello :)

Hi, I've just found your forum and would like to join I'm from Bulgaria and I'm a member of the Bulgarian VW club. My car is a 1981 GG 1.1 engine Golf mk1 wich recently had a carb switch because the Solex 31PIC6 … well let's just say it did't run properly. Now I'm with a Pierburg 2E3 (Golf/Polo 1.3) and runs parfectly

Have you got any pics of your Golf you can show us and does your club have a web site too?

Cheers
Andy

Nice, but why burgas? Try "Golden sands" or "Sunny beach". Actualy try "Sozopol" Cheers.

So isn't anybody going to ask something about the car?

Yes!!

Just checked out your pics (I've fixed the link for Cardomain to work!) Thats one large cylinder in your boot!!

What sort of fuel consumption do you get with it? When I first saw it I thought you had put nitrous on your Golf!! 8O   Have you had the car long?

I couldn't get the link to your club site to work - is it correct? and whats the Golf scene like in Bulgaria? Is it big?

Cheers
Andy

I've had the car for 2 years now, originaly bought it for about 250pounds and up to now it costs me around 1300 pound and as you can se it's different but I whant even moere. About the cosumption with petrol it around 8.5-9 litres per 100km and ot LPG it 10litres per 100km. Wich is not bad considering that our fuels are not like yours (in england it would be less "houngry"). Hmmm what do you mean by the Golf scene, actualy there aren't many mk1 left, but almost every 3-rd person drives a mk2 or a mk3 golf I'm sorry about you not openning the club site but the server whent down today. try again in a few days, hope to get it fixed by then

The diffrences between petrol an LPG are significantly small:
1. first of all your car get's a bit slower (imagine a 1.1 getting even slower), but what the heck it enviromnetal frendly and it cheaper
2. You must drive it by petrol at least 40-50km per week
3. Your trunk gets smaller (thera are different tipes of bottles for it, 15l,20,25,30,40,50,60 theres even one shaped like a tire so you can fit it it the spare tire compartment, I've got the 60l)
4.Some peolpe say it's a bomb in your car, but it's actualy not, it exlpodes harder that the gasoline tank
Plans for my car…hmm.well I'm curentlu working on a RPM meter I whant to put in and will posl pictures as soon as it's done (hope to be tomorrow or the day after tomorrow).
Part for the mk1…if you mean optical-really hard. Only 2nd hand from junkyards or import something. Anything else is easy to find

These are the seats that I bought it with. The fronts are from a 2 door, the bend and the back is the original from this chasee. The red seats you see are the same seats covered with seat covers brought to me from germany The steering wheel is french bought it brand new, but had some problems with it (set the car on fire a couple of times), the "thing" (don't know how's it called in english) between the fron seats is made in turkey. There are some pics that i havent been able to upload- pics with the new carb and air filter. This affected the cars performance, but can't tell you exactly how much becouse it's expensive to go to the dino here
