Hi Team

Well this is my new purchess

 

Know very ;little about the history of the car but as you can see needs alittle work

 

Main Jobs i will be doing

Service

Sort rust 

gt clocks

 

longterm

respray

modify (possible engine conversion)

 

 

 

All comments welcome good or bad i don't mind either I don't take offence easily

main plans are to fit GT arches

GT clocks for now

Saw this for sale just the other day! Shame about those rolled out rear arches. Never been a fan of fat, cambered wheels personally - would as been just as smart a ride with the right sized wheels and a bit more clearance I feel.

 

Not many of this shape about as far as I can tell - look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Not got heaps of experience myself but from one of the closeups of the arch in the classified it looked like they had been - the corrosion and the lack of a nice square crease seemed a giveaway!

Nice looking car and great colour, I'd seen on the bay too, love the look of it. Think the GT arches will look the part alright. Nice set of scirocco seats maybe 😉

Is it a colour concept? I'd a red 5door one a few years ago, lovely cruising wagon.

Thanks bud but I just got a PM from the site with someone saying pay postage and I can have his spare one

No just an 8v gti nothing special 

 

im going to break it I think

Before

 

 

Can’t oost after it says file too big 

 

but basically I took the disturbingly unsafe rear washers out to reduce camber and they still fit under arches which is ok

Are these adjustable?
