Will be an interesting read.

I passed up a chance to buy a fucking awesome worked-up Mk2 GTi and I'm kicking myself for it. They're seriously rare over here, and this one was a 3dr (which we never got) meaning it was only one of 5 or 6 in all of Australia... and it had an Audi 8v engine in it too.

This thread makes me want to start searching for another Mk1 or 2 as a run-to-the-station hack...

Those wheels will fit the E30 btw, they just need spacers. They're going to be my auto-x wheels. No way they're staying on the MkI, too damn big.

no way a local! lol well you won't see my e30 till spring, it needs a waterpump/timing belt job, paint finished, and the exahust redone. this is unless you drive around slow looking into peoples driveways lol. you may see me in my mk1 jetta tho, europlate and purple wheels are my dead give aways.
