J reg Mk3 Coupe GT conversion.

Featured Replies

Make: VW

Model: Polo mk2f (mk3)

Year/Reg: 1992 (J)

Mileage: 120000

MOT: til july.

Tax: til july

Good points: Recently rebuild engine 3f (full GT loom and AHD GT box., cleaned injectors, relapped valves, new head gasket, replacement waterpump, new cam belt, new alternator belt, new stem seals etc...) (less than 200miles on it) Nice BBS RS Gold and polished alloys originally from mx5. . Decent sunroof-never leaks!, lowered 60mm on springs (but sits high at back?!?), 2001 seats (modded to fit) debadged grill, clear front indicators. nice light blue metallic, could do with a t-cut and polish!

Bad points: I bought for my wife to use but now with a baby on the way we really need a bigger car. Both front wings dented, especially drivers side where i tried to knock the lip out a bit to give more clearance for lowerage and bigger alloys (14's) dent in tail gate (wife argued with a flowerbox) strange ding/ripple at rear drivers side, needs a throttle body position sensor, car occasionally runs very grumpy but usually great. a few rust spots around wheel arches and elsewhere.

Also forgot to mention it doesn't have the GT rear axle so NO ARB.

Currently i dont have the rear seats in , but have them, i was going to fabricate mounts to fit the rears but never got round to it. with a skim of filler te car would be straight and sexy! I would have tidied it myself, but kitchens and my wifes beetle have meant i'll not get the time!

Location: Northants (near Kettering)

Pictures: I'll take some pics tomo so they're up to date!

Price: £550 or would swap for the right diesel estate! (ouch- fatherhood hurts!!!)

Contact details: PM me here!

If enough interest I'll break it. but i'd rather it went in one go!

got any pics mate? give us a clue where kettering is I'm shite at that sorta stuff lol

Can you text me your number 07908153820, I've got a tdi passat if your interested.

Ben, its currently pisssisting it down here... I'll take some flicks later.

Also, kettering is um, in the east midlands, imagine birmingham and then go right a bit (well a lot) on the A14, not too far from junction 21 of the M1.

J, i'm on it.

Cheers folks.

Steve

Also forgot to mention, has a spare set of pressed D plates, sweet but not street legal...

Also the sony head unit won't be included.

Still registered as a 1.0 have the 1.0 engine if you want to change it to a 1.0 MPI with GT head?

Would you swap for a '97 polo saloon in dragon green?

( I'm about 1 hour away from you :) )

Edited by Matt Mk3loon

If this is my old GT , ill have it back 100%. whats the reg?

I think he did a 1.0L->GT conversion himself so unlikely to be a GT that you might have previously owned mate. I could be wrong though!

No it was a 1.0 and is still registered as such. I got it from far away wales!

Still not got pics up- soz, i will do!

Steve

Matt, I spoke to the wife, she really wants a pissrat so sorry but no-can-do!

fair play m8, gl with the sale :thumbsup:

Check the flix volks!

Will accept offers. OR WILL BREAK!!!

Would you sell the wheels seperately? PM me please :)

Shame to break mate - lots of nice touches with the engine, especially with most bolts being replaced with SS versions...!

cheers dude, I've rather it went in one piece but i need a sensible practical big car and can't afford it without flogging the polo!

you dont want another one do you?

Steve

Sorry mate, I can't afford to keep another!

If you can I'd try to hold out until it's gone through it's next MOT. A year's MOT and 6 months tax and it'll hopefully sell easily for it's true value.

yeah i might do that, ideally tho, someone will pick it up who wants to tidy it up and give it the love it deserves!

I don't suppose You would be interested in a P/x/ swap for a 1999 Caddy van?

More info if required. Will.

I am very interested in this. could you give me a tx to arrange a viewing and possible buy? Does it come with the wheels? Also is there any pics of the dents? Number is 07754956399 cheers Steve.

recent pics, taken at the weekend!

That should show all the issues!

Also it really needs new brake shoes, they're shot at the mo so the handbrake is crap and they bind slightly after being stood for a while!

just rudely bumping back up! need it gone, have a passat in my sights......!
