Mk2 Golf Gti 8v typ19

Here is my lovely example of a MK2 Golf GTI which I have owned for the past year, unfortunatley the time has come to sell it as I require the money due to getting married next year.

I bought the car off a elderly gentleman that had the car for just over 11 years maybe more. Unfortunatly it was off the road for around a year when i went to pick the car up and looked very sorry for itself. I looked past this because it was such a nice unmolestered example of a mk2 gti i knew it would be worth spending the time and money getting it back on the road. The car came with a huge folder history and i could tell that it had been looked after and had a nice life.

I started off by putting it through the mot too see what it needed to get it back on the road. Suprisingly all it needed was discs and pads all round, 2 wheel bearings, a few brake pipes and 2 new steering arms. I also replaced 2 brake calipers as they were alittle sticky. Other than that the car was very solid and didnt have much rust. I put a coat of fresh underseal on the floor pan to keep the british weather at bay.

The interior of the car is very clean considering its age and mileage. There is a little wear on the drivers seat and the passenger door card is alittle wrinkled, other than that everything is as good as new.

As for the bodywork it does look like its been resprayed at some point, there are the usual car park dings down the sides but no major dents.

The only thing that has gone wrong with the car since in my possession is the gearbox started leaking oil onto the flywheel and clutch. So i replaced it with a second hand item which had 80000 miles on, while it was out i replaced the clutch.

The car has been changed slightly by removing the old K-jet injection system and replacing it with 750cc bike carbs. I have also replaced the standard exhaust with a manifold back stainless steel system which has 2 silencers which gives a nice raspy noise.

The engine is currently on 210000 but dont let this put you off it runs and sounds like it was half that. It does burn alittle oil but i suppose this can be expected for an engine of this age. For something alittle different i decided to put it on some bike carbs as i have carried out this conversion on other cars with good results. I got hold of some 750cc bike carbs and had a friend make me a manifold. I drilled the jets out and fitted some cone air filters, made up a throttle cable and fitted a manual choke cable. It drives really well considering it was never really set up on a rolling road, it definatly has alot more pull than standard and sounds fantastic.

The car has had a full service including plugs. It comes with 11 months MOT but no tax. I have spent alot of time and money on it over the time I have owned it and will be very sad to see it go.

I'm looking for £1000 ovno which i think is a fair price for the age and condition of the car.

Here are some pictures, it was a shame it was raining at the time.
