VW Golf GTI Mk2

[bulldog5046]

this is really good looking actually in those pics, is it as nice in person?

 

[Helz]

I wondered how long this one was going to last

Shame, it is nice

What's next?

 

[Bushboy]

If it didnt let me down I wouldnt be selling it. Shame as I really like it but its either buy another car or

GET THE BUS
​

and I wont be doing that...

Its finaly time for the GTI and I to part.

I dont think you've had it long enough to say finally

in a word, yes

Chris, why!? engine swaps are 10x easier than fiats, just take the front panel off and put the new engine in, get a GTi lump (so cheap its unbelievable, can even get them free sometimes from some VW club members) stick it in, days work tops i think. Cant sell this, its a minter!

Have been tempted but im buying something newer. Going away from hot hatches now as I fancy something that is actually sporty, not just trying to be

I bought my mk2 with the headgasket gone and fixed it myself for £60 get it sorted as it looks a good one!! Ant

I know how it feels to just want to get rid of a car, its a pity as its a nice motor. But I think the real reason is you want something else, its too easy to fix to be the reason to sell it.

Money isnt the problem. Time is the problem. I know Your all saying it could be done in a day but it cant with it needing to be skimmed and all that. Not exactly overrun with engineering motorshops around here and would need another car to take the head to one, which I dont have access to as my days off are usualy week days and babz is working so cant borrow her car etc.

Dropping a new engine in wouldnt be practical either as would mean sourcing one, then collecting it and then another day to fit and make sure it all runs properly etc. I dont have that kinda time off work to do that. SOurcing a decent engine could take days and then collecting could take a day in itself. Then theres the problem on another car to go and get the engine etc.

TBH I do want something else now the option has come up but the golf wouldnt have been sold if the HG didnt go. I only just bought a brand new bootlid for it and other bits.. hardly like I was planning on getting rid.

Why do I always have to defend myself when I decide to buy a new car

 

[CinqyAbarth]

because you do it so often

 

[pete_h]

what you planning to get next?

It seems like everytime i log on to FF you have a different car!!

 

[dave]

you can get up early on day off take babz to work, then use her car to take head to skimmers then pick her up from work later

 

[Bushboy]

Not my problem anymore. Sold and collected.

Rear suspension bouncing perhaps? I mean, with the back seats down and being a Marea estate and all that. Loads of room in the back

(better not let Babz see that!)

Not my problem anymore. Sold and collected.

You sold Babz????!!!!

i bet someone got a bargain.

any idea whats next?

if you want a "sports car" it must have only 2 doors & 2 seats, be mid or rear engined & RWD.

that doesnt give you a lot to consider, in your price range i suggest : http://motors.search.ebay.co.uk/mr2_Cars_W0QQfromZR34QQfsooZ1QQfsopZ1QQsacatZ9801QQsbrsrtZd

 

[Bushboy]

Sadly no, it wont be 2 seats... well there is a possibility but its more likely to be a sporty coupe.

i thought it was gonna be a crappy £50 at car auction honda
