Had a look at the thread and do you know the width of the rad fitted to the Gti? Someone mentioned 525mm but I tried one that size and it's way out on the cowl fixing holes so returned it. Just measured mine "again" and it's 480mm. That's the shiny bit between the headers.
Nice car by the way. Mine ...

Hi, the radiator "fitted" when I bought the car in 1998 has the expansion tank pretty much like most of the later injected cars.
Just gonna look at the tread GT. Thanks.

Hi Mr Brown pics attached -Also do you have any rear bumper brackets? near side is fine but off side is just about beyond repair Thanks Ken

Cheers , I'll get the pics and thanks. really. I was given a Cosmos Blue Mk1 Storm years back that I had to scrap due to lack of space. Wish I had it now!!

Just joining the Facebook group as advised by Rust Republic!! Does the cowling have the two flaps on it? The one I have does but something just doesn't look right......................
Got or can get most stuff I need. Stuff around the door windows is a bit rare!! Got the bits that go on the top ...

I have a part number for the rad which is 171121253D and it looks like the one that came with the car. Trouble is it has brackets at each end, top and bottom, but doesn't seem right ...

Hi, just joined the register AGAIN after many years absent but still have a folder full of membership stuff from years ago when I had about six Mk2s at the back of the house! My history with VW is too long and painful to go into in too much detail but included many Mk2 Sciroccos including a Havana ...

Hello Peeps
I have a MK1 Storm in the garage (for the last 12 years!!) VRN TKE 200X and before I die I'd like to restore it. I know they're prone to rust and mines no different, rear arches and sills, but there's nothing horrendous. Just a simple question. Where do I start. I can do electrics and ...
