Have you had any takers?

Hi
I had a fair bit of interest but I have decided to make the car 110% before I sell it.

I had to rush to try and get it finished and that's not right.

I have to sort out the gear linkage, get the camber and tracking set, fit a new fuel pump and a few other small jobs.

Then I will use it myself for a week to make sure all is well.

I will then be able to advertise it knowing it is all good!

Cheers

As a matter of interest, when did the Mk I GTI switch to a four light front grille?

Well after almost a year I have still not got the golf finished lol

I called into see my mechanic this morning and have booked the car in with him at the end of the month to get it finished. I will then sell it immediately.

The last time I was at the garage I fitted a used Golf GTi mk2 16v gear box as the gear selection issues I think were down to the box.

My mechanic will:

Sort an earth fault and get it running well
Set up the gears
Fit a new dash binnacle; I removed the old one as the temperature gauge did not work
Set the tracking
Any other bits and pieces that need sorting


Any interested parties please PM me.

I may put a link on e-bay as well. I do not mind selling it as it is now and the new owner can do the work.

Cheers
