I've owned 8 or 9 2002 and 2002tii's over the years, starting with my first one in 1969. Sadly, the ones that are restorable are becoming very scarce. A few areas of rust to watch out for are around the grill where fenders attach, the headlight buckets, and, especially, the rear shock towers. Also, take note of the welded seam on the driver's side door threshold. It's notorious as a rust starting point


Here is an excellent site that shows what can be done for a restorable 2002tii.

I would sure like to have my Golfe (screamin' yellow) '73 tii back. Best driver's car I ever owned.

....oh well. Nostalgia ain't what it used ta be!
