The Creative Explorer Posted January 14, 2015 Posted January 14, 2015 the "great" differents between sedan and convertible is the year of production. -> the sedan (GTI) is the first decade of mark I Golf, means, it has Chrome bumpers (but no chromeparts in the box!), another Dashboard (round instrumenthouses), steering wheel and those black "wheelshousecovers" (<- dont know, what they called) on the Body. And with sedan you mean hatchback ;-) the Golf 'Sedan' is a Jetta. A sedan has a solid trunklid, where a hatchback has a rearwindow in the trunklid. That's why the Beetle and 2CV were sedans.
The Creative Explorer Posted January 15, 2015 Posted January 15, 2015 That being said, wouldn't be awesome to get a 1st gen Jetta?
jbwelda Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 I bought a 84 US spec Rabbit GTI new back in 85. it was a nice little car, pretty quick and at the time front wheel drive was the thing (I never loved it), it went around corners smooth and flat (though I installed Konis all around and had it lowered a couple inches). it pretty much looked like this except I had the optional front grille with the square driving lamps integrated. Most of it was manufactured in Mexico I think and then assembled in Canada. That's what I recall anyhow. darn thing didn't last very long, by 50k (miles) it was losing its CVs, water pump, getting weak on the compression and generally falling apart, so I sold it to some college student who probably drove it into the ground. I wish a closer version to this was available, note alloy wheels especially. jb
hpiguy Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 I'm going to get the convertible, paint it white like the one used on Can't Buy Me Love. Display it with a printed scene from the movie behind it. Dorky? Heck yes!

hpiguy Posted January 16, 2015 Posted January 16, 2015 (edited) You're going to need to find some VW Zandvoort wheels in 1:24th scale True for exact accuracy there are plenty of differences. But if I painted the wheels it comes with white, no fan of the flick will really notice. Close enough. Edited January 16, 2015 by hpiguy
