Hi folks!

got a VW Golf Mk1 1.8 Gti Karmann Convertible...It is a '98 and is burgundy colour..

You might be able to help me out here....I got a new mohair hood for it ( the three complete sections) from Germany...The frame is ok and I am having a new frame mae for the rear window...but...
I need the cables/wires...thingies...that support the hood...one on each side and one at the rear of the hood...dunno what these are called or where they can be got..

Will be grateful of a lead to find these last few parts to finish the car

Cheers

Claire

Hi Claire,

I could be wrong, but I think you're the first female to join since the demise of VAGE.

Welcome Claire, I was in the Factory that you car was built in when I worked for Cosworth, even got a Karmann workshop coat, amazing place. Everyone there is a craftsman (person), your car will have had a wonderful birth.

@ Riccson, in trouble now, lol

Hi Claire,
