    Goodbye VW !!

    Well, any hobby will have an end day. 3 years ago I bought this car for $900.00, a 2 doors Mk1 with Kjet is quite rare so I had no hesitation to pick it up, then the nightmare started, I have been kept spending money on it, body works, wheel hunting, buying incorrect parts etc, etc, at the end I've got what I wanted (a trophy in 2009 VW nat) but the mrs keep complaining it takes up the garage space and her bmw need to sleep outside every night. so I decided to let her go.

    Last 2 photos when this guy inspected the car in transport depot, then it'll start its 4000km journey to the other end of this country. I wish the new owner will join this forum and enjoy the car.

    BYE BYE

    Sorry for your loss mate that looks like a very sweet ride.

    Stories like this always make me thankful that my girlfriend of 8 years not only loves them as much as i do but drives one herself.

    Sorry to hear you are VW'less Eric.....glad I got those clear-front indicators from you, nonetheless.....
    My suggestion.....do what I did...buy her a reliable 'Japanese VW', in my case yet another Subaru (our 5th) so she can enjoy the luxury and dependability and you'll then always have a reliable back-up for when your next VW is in pieces (yet again!!)

    Cheers

    So is it a reliable car now then ?? or am I likely to see the "new owner" needing parts here also ?? lol.

    BMW's deserve to be parked outdoors, specially the newer models...

    Good luck on finding a replacement .
    Lots of MK 1 Scirocco's...

    If it aint a MK 1 then it must be a donor car ??

    Cheers,
    Grant...

    It is always reliable, I've never need to call a tow truck I can't imagine it will be parted out.
    The new owner is a newbie here, he'll post up something when he get the car.
    Replacement ....... hmmmmmmm I'm still thinking, am keep my eye open for Mk2 or latest Mk1 Cabrio
