Well done!
Is it a 1.7 ? Is it as good as it looks ?
Ta! Yes it looks and sounds fantastic and is the 1.7 yep! Not a spot of rust anywhere which is surreal compared to others I was looking at with less miles. I'm sure I'll find some somewhere!Is it a 1.7 ? Is it as good as it looks ?
Few electrical gremlins which I knew about - rear lights, rear heating not working - can't wait to get stuck into it this weekend. I'll likely replace the cambelt for peace of mind too.
V happy with it

Bargain of the year!?
Congrats!
I could see these going up in value with them become ever more present in "best FWD bargain" lists and most of them rusting away.
Hopefully not too soon, as me and a group of friends are buying 5 of them next year and driving them to the ring for a weekend! Congrats!

This has got to be worth a go for someone? 2.5 V6, manual, Recaro seats, £1000!

Latest runaround, bought for quite a bit less than shed limit. 2000 Golf GTI 1.8, one owner from new (female doctor), complete service history at the same VW dealer for 14 years and receipts for everything down to bulbs. 140K, but drives beautifully, gearbox nice and tight. Pretty much new Bridgestones all round, no ditchfinders here.

That's almost identical to my old once, nice cars so long as the IMRC works! Bullet proof engine, I sold mine to a mate who then sold it to another mate where it was frequently hammered from cold etc. Engine gave zero issues even if the rest of the car fell apart around it
