Hi and hello!
just bought the above car, wanted a cx of any flavour for years, so at last i have one.
I can't seem to add pictures, but I've put them on retro rides forum. The car has had a interesting history and I'm sure some of you may know of it, after been in a barn for 20 odd years! It's got (still ) loads of electrical issues and needs a respray.
I'm sure I will have loads of questions, not to mention a few parts needed! but I'm still making a to do list!
So far I need a headlight retaining clip, air filter housing, boot carpet and the heater flap motor- or a supply of the bushes. And a degree in auto electronics will be useful!

She looks nice. If you want a source of ideas you might want to search (on this forum) for "CGAT", but be warned; she is quite a beast!

Re: Gti turbo MK1 - my new car!
We're doing our best to slowly build up some CX resources on the forum, especially as several members have recently acquired one, or have a restoration on-going.
There is the CX section for routine posts (which you've already found):
viewforum.php?f=23
and the Mechanic's Booklets collection (go to Board Index > Members' Area > Resources*)
includes Parts pages and Repair data for some of the CX S1 and S2 range:
viewtopic.php?p=590278#p590278
* note: Access to the Resources section of the forum is available for members who have made a forum donation.
We're always keen to add to this document collection.
