hi from South Africa

Hello all, I am Jean-Pierre Roux From South Africa, I reside in a little town called Port Elizabeth "Windy City". I recently purchased a mk1 1987 citi sports, with the old bumpers. So I thought ill join and speak to fellow enthusiasts. I will upload photo in abit.

Hi Jean-Pierre and welcome along to the forum. Let's see some pics of your new MK1.

Thanks man, Still learning my way around the website/forum.

Here are a few

Hello Jean-Pierre, welcome to the club. Nice Golf mate, looks better withthe older bumpers on IMO.

Cheers, Andy.

Hi j p, nice golf welcome along

Welcome to the forum - tidy looking Citi

What's the plans for her then ??

hey guys thanks for the warmly welcoming. I've got some big plans


But the biggest plan at the moment is to save for some good coilovers and fix up one or two minor pieces of the rust 1cm in size.

Today i decided to give it a good buffing and hopefully if weather holds up ill have some good shoots of the car at one of the soccer stadiums tonight alongside some other friends which im planning on uploading ..  

Sound like some good pics on the way

Looking forward to the pic update mate

Looks good. Love the SA rear lights.

E  

will upload some more photos during week, we had a couple of rainy days here and the time has already come to replace the inner/outter cv's and a few minor things !  so want to sort out everything and give it another day of detailing (:

so this weekend i got stuck in abit, replaced the cv's and fixed a few things inside the car.

the boot of the outer passenger side cv.


the same cv.. wrecked :*


attempted to cleaning the engine bay and replaced the two flanges and hoses with new ones as the old ones were very perished..

Good little update JP. Keep up the good work

Welcome JP, now that looks like it will be the star of a show one day, nice one Mate!

Out of interest, how hard are you finding it to get spare parts down there?

Maybe to soon to judge but again a warm welcome.  

hey golfcabrio, spares are easy to come by. We have a company called Midas and Goldwagen which basically stocks anything you need for an mk1. I know with Goldwagen they import most of their parts for Germany and pricing is not to bad.

For example:

Outer cv + boot + Greese = R140 converted it is around 12 euros..
Doorhandles = R40 converted is around 4 euros..


Thanks, im planning on making it a show car.. but its a long process
