We recently had the pleasure of working on what’s got to be one of the best MK1 VW Golf GTI’s around. Having previously had an extensive nut & bolt restoration the original tailgate was starting to show signs of corrosion in the paint surface.
With new tailgates non existent we hunted high and low for a replacement after hours and hours on the internet we managed to find a mint condition original VW tailgate from 1987 no less!. Next was to achieve a perfect match for the Helios blue paint, A bit of tinting and many spray out cards later we were ready to cure the only blemish on this 80’s beauty!.
