Newbie bringing back a GTI

Hi all
Only just joinied the site.
Picked up the GTI on Wednesday, its been stored apparntly for the last 12 years and not started for that time either.
Checked it over at work on the ramp nice and solid underneath, needs front wings, bonnet , pair sills , and poss tailgate.
Removed the fuel tank and connected up pump to jerry can its started up although does sound a bit rough   .
Got a couple of question's if any of you can help me, i need to get hold of a sunroof panal ( tin) and the fuel pipes from pump to accumalator and from there to front any ideas.
Still a lot stripped out so far in just a few days all the panals are oredred so engine out next week and rest of front end.
cheers

Nice one mate!!!!  Sounds like it's been well kept.  What made you decide on a mk1 have you always liked them?  Glad you found us.

the one we have was apparantly in a barn for the last 15 years ,the body is almost as new but the engine was out and in bits so i think thats going to be fun for hubby to put back together
hes great at stripping things down  and rebuilding but when peices are missing before you start !!!!
we have all the top half reconditioned but we are going to chance the bottom end  :?
hey its all fun innit haha

Barnzee,

for you fuel lines/pipes, i'd check out crazy quiffs,  i have just had a set and they are good quality.  the link for CQ is on the left hand side of the page.  for your sunroof panel, i'd keep an eye on the classifieds on  here, and the ever reliable fleabay. good luck mate, and get some pics up on here when you get a chance!

welcome to the site

look forward to the piccies!!

Well its been ages and lots of stripping, welding, between everthing else but today was the day, the car has finally gone for a complete respray.
I have fitted complete new sills, complete new front panal, cut out and fitted 2 rear wheel arch repairs new front wings and a new bonnet.
Manage to find a mint tin sunroof,  bought complete set of glass rubber seals and new front screen coming so hopefully in couple wks the car will be painted and water tight.
Then the fun bit for me at least rebuild the mechanicals  as a tech thats the bit i like, find the cutting and welding hard work but thats all done so happy days.
