Hello from Germany
Hello!
I would like to introduce myself.
My name is Holger and I am from Germany. And last year I restored a Caddy 14D built in 1989.
I was recommended this forum by the Volkswagen Club of South Africa. Where I had made an inquiry about no longer available components.
As is known, in Europe the production of VW classic spare parts were discontinued earlier than in South Africa.
I hope that I could find in this way the one or the other source of supply.
So if someone here in the forum knows a store that sells old MK1 parts, please feel free to contact me.
Greetings from Germany
Holger

Re: Hello from Germany

Re: Hello from Germany
hi Mark,
Thank you very much for your offer. I will definitely take advantage of it. Always good to be able to communicate in your native language.
Especially when it goes more into detail!
