Hi friends, since time ago I am a PASSION GOLF GTI.COM fan.

My name is Abdul and I live in Mexico City and here to there are a lot of crazy people like me who likes the GTI´s, right now I am proudly owner of 5 GTI´s (mk1, mk2, mk3, mk5 and mk6) and 1 Porsche (930), here are the pics:

This is my mk1, here in Mexico the first generation of Golf was called "Caribe", until now I do not know why VW choose this name, I took this "Caribe" and I converted it in a european GTI

As you can see, I do not like the "tuning style", really, I like to try the OEM style.

Well friends, regards from Mexico.

Welcome Home Abdulcito !

What a nice car's collection you have, especially the first one. I love this original style and the way you have taken care of it.
Actually, i am looking for exactly the same style and the same model for me.

Enjoy time with us !

Hi Abdul and welcome on board !

Nothing to add : the picts express the love and the care you deserve to your cars ! What a nice collection :up:

Can you only explain me how you converted your Caribe in a Euro GTI ? Did you change the original motor for this one with fuel injection ? Is your dashboard the original one ?

Best regards :coucou:

Well, I took the "Caribe" and throw to the trash almost all the things, this car had carburator, I made the motor with 1,800 c.c. and fuel injection, the dashboard is the original in the mexican version, right now I am looking for a new one in Cabrio version that is the same that the Euro version but is hard to find, as you can see I installed an brand new and originale BBS body kit, ATS CUP in 15".

Nice collection, I would like to drive your other toys too.

This is the first time I see that kind of seatbelts (on your MK2). Do they lock at the top as I think ?
