Hi Just so this site can return to a more convivial tone, I'll clarify the "sale" history. I originally brought the car to be used as an interesting daily driver. I had no intention of it being a "trailer queen". I brought (for USD10k) what I was led to believe was a fully restored body and...

Hi, I'm in Papamoa and have been down the same path you're heading with my CSL. It started like yours in bins and got it all together finally after years and $$ (oops missed a few, I should have said years and $$$$$!). I still have ups and downs re owning it after finishing putting it all...

Hi there, I have a car in Papamoa - not auckland sorry - but if you're in the area at some point you're welcome to have a look.

Hi, After searching online a fair price seems to be around NZD100,000 That equates to approximately USD68,000, GBP47,000, AUD93,000. Does that sound fair given shipping and some taxes would need to put on top of that? The UK has 10%+20% import taxes, but only 5% for 30+year old cars...

Hi Thanks for the positive comments! A couple of replys to comments: re city pack: I have no idea what "city pack" really means, but it does had a steel rear bumper and I have a good front bumper (chrome) that came with the car. I chose to powder coat the rear bumper black as I like the...

Hi 50k In bodywork would have been nice! I never added up the total cost or time but know it was a lot more than 50.... Cheers Bryce

Hi My 1973 Golf CSL is for sale as it gets almost no use (a quiet run around the block every couple of months) - I don't know what price to ask so if you're interested, can you please suggest a serious price. The car has undergone a very serious rebuild, all sorts of transplants and a...

these pics may help https://www.flickr.com/photos/123429072@N07/albums/72157644049624316 Hi There are engine bay pics in the repair work folder that may help. I modified the A pillar with a round space to install a speaker better but otherwise the finished engine bay should be as close as...

Hi this is not a step by step instruction, but there are quite a few pictures in this link of repairs similar to what you're facing, and may be of help. https://www.flickr.com/photos/123429072@N07/sets/ It's a long and expensive process! All the best. Bryce

Hi My Golf CSL finally made it back on the road after some very serious surgery, all sorts of transplants and a cosmetic makeover. The pictures show the story really - plus show how rust can be hidden on these cars. But now it has reemerged rust free and is a blast to drive (one distance...

so I'm guessing no Beach Hop? I may get there saturday - first drive! Bryce

well you were quicker than me! Though I only have a door inner panel, stripes and decals to put on, it seems to take an age to find the time! Well done, Bryce.

Steve, I got my windscreen new from BMW (Coombs Johnson) - fits great. It was imported from Germany and I believe it was around NZD1,800 all up. Fortunately (or unfortunately) my original windscreen was broken when some guy knocked it over on the floor when It was out of the car..... Bryce

I put my windscreen back in last week (it's been in and out several times), but I highly recommend having the dash installed prior to installing the windscreen. I tried to install the dash with the screen in place but no success... so have no idea how you could install the dash after the screen.

The Cs is still for sale complete not as parts. Peter Roling (Roling Panel Works in Rotorua) Ph 07 3478095 during the week. Or 027 2711762

Hi, where in NZ are you? There was a CS that was stripped apart for a restoration but was for sale in Rotorua last year. It may not have sold - he was asking around $1000. I don't know but it may have doors that are good enough compared with $3000ea! I can try and find/contact him again if...

looking nice - I'm certainly not a purist... I've got the al door skins on and ready to paint - Once painted, I need to reassemble the windows etc, stick on the decals and then I'm basically done!

Hi, Don't give up on aluminum door skins. It could be cheaper and better to keep you current door frames and have rust repaired, and then replace aluminum skins with new ones from http://www.wallothnesch.com/e/frameoffer.htm. That's what I'm doing. I received the new skins in excellent...

door panels Hi, I just received al door panels http://www.wallothnesch.com/e/ange/framezspecialoffer.htm. They arrived (in NZ) undamaged in one week from ordering. Not the UK but great service from Germany. I have yet to fit the panels.... cheers, Bryce.

If you need some you may be lucky in Rotovagas. Not cheap though if you need to buy the whole car on trademe. I can visit to see what condition they are in (traveling that way thursday). Bryce http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/bmw/exterior/auction-382007891.htm
