Colin, I know a guy who will shortly have a 1.8 8v engine out of a Scirroco up for grabs. They should fit, the Mk2 and Mk3 engines need modding to fit due to water pipes.

Speak to Gambit, he knows loads about Golfs.

AS far as im aware, roofs are not electric. GTi version came with the 1.8 and 2.0 8v units, but dont quote me on the 2.0 bit

Good ol Clippers

in a nut shell....

Karmann took the MKl bodyshell, strengthened it to increase its weight to 136 kg, and created the best convertible money could buy in 1979. Modifications were pretty much as with the hatchback Golf. The GLi had the 1588cc GTI engine and suspension, while the GLS had uprated trim -- but only a 70 bhp, 1457cc engine. In 1982, the 1.8 GTI engine was installed into the GLi, and the GLS got a 1595cc unit. For 1981, the dash was upgraded. Sports seats and a lockable glovebox became part of the specification by 1983. The GTI designation was finally adopted in 1985. In 1988, VW modernised the bodywork with rounded bumpers, integrated front spoiler, rear apron and more prominent wheelarches. Also, a 1.8 carburettor-fed Clipper replaced the old 1.6 GL. For 1990, a power hood was added to the spec. There have been plenty of special editions, from the 'All White' and 'All Black' in 1986. Sportline and Rivage, 1991-92, with BBS and Recaros, are the best.

well if you go buy the mk2 16v weight

then you'll get 0-60 under 7.9s and top speed of about 125mph - they have the aerodynamics of a brick

Is that all

I was hoping for more speed - Thought Mk2's were faster, been in a few and they fly
