West Michigan Fall TDI GTG - Oct. 14, 2023

[PakProtector]

Looking for a solid Golf hood Kirk; colour not too important...

There might be a mk4 with crank windows at Sand Lake Auto. It had manual mirrors I remember because I was looking for a mirror. I don’t recall if it was a Jetta or Golf. They’re open on Saturdays

AND, Sand Lake auto is just up the road a bit.

I may have one - I'll check tonight

 

[D2theizALEjr]

I was really hoping I might be able to come as a new TDI owner and get some knowledge from everyone, but I’ll have to get my no start issue fixed.
Going to do some searching in some threads so I don’t have to push start the car again. Lol

 

[IndigoBlueWagon]

The GTG is on a small hill so bump starting the car shouldn't be a big problem.

But leaving my house will be an issue. Hahaha

Just stumbled on this. Not sure if I can make it but if I do, I have a few items for sale from my old MKVI GOLF. (filters, under seat storage bins, cargo blocks and car go mat, euro headlight switch with auto headlight on module). also some worn but still good weathertech front mats from my MKVII GSW 6M.

Also hunting the rear hatch volume cover. Parcel tray I think...

No, back in the Jackson area.
I’ll confirm by end of week. Thanks!

Kirk,
Regrettably, we’re not going to be making it after all. Thanks for organizing the GTG and I hope you all have a great time.

Just do it in reverse then...

Doug, I have two decent Jetta hoods (black and red), but no Golf Hoods, sorry

[r90sKirk]

Just an update: When I circled back to remind the "Key guy" about this Saturdays event, he indicated he had family plans, so SADLY he won't be making it.

Looking like I won’t be making it tomorrow, I unexpectedly had to travel for work this week and still making my way home. If I do make it tomorrow I sadly wont be in the Jetta as I still haven’t located someone to make the needed repairs to my beloved Jetta. If I don’t see you all tomorrow I hope you all have a great time and post pictures!
