Thanks guys!
I had offers a couple of years back for more than I'm selling it for.
Plus with all the work I'm doing this week to fix it all up. CV joints, brakes, tires, (attempting to fix the gearbox 2nd gear clink)
I'm half-half now! Like I said before , working on the car makes me want to keep her!!
The need to sell it however is stronger the want to keep it!!
I do plan on putting it up on Car sales- I really want the car to be bought by someone on here as I know it will go to a good home

(PS I bought a silver MK2 that used to hang around Southport if thats the one you saw?)

That's the one! I used to always see it a couple times a week.
haha- small world hey- especially when it comes to MK2's.

Oh if only you were in Perth...I would be right over with the $$$

The MK2 world is, well tiny in Aus haha.
I think you and Walshydub are the only two MK2 reps on the Gold Coast atm.


Sorry for more thread Hijacking (free bump though)

[golfmeup]

Yeah I think I only ever saw one other MK2 on the coast.
There are a couple in Brisbane I know of.

Off to the workshop to try and replace the Gear box oil
..... and maybe some more cleaning and polishing

[golfmeup]

Just added new photos. Unfortunately not enough time to give the car a polish, still has greasy marks every where from mechanic.

Drove to Byron for the day with my wife and kid and got some nice new shots. Car ran like a dream!
If I sell the car I think I will frame a copy of the first one

[golfmeup]

Bump to the top please.

Had a guy look at my car today, tire kicker I think. He knew nothing about Golfs or VW's.

On a good note got my GAP order in the mail! New expansion tank, new seals, gaskets, rear hatch struts, filters.

haha... now I just need to find time to fit them!

[golfmeup]

After having around a dozen phone calls and about the same in emails, decided to keep the MK2.

I made the decision based on time and also a desire to keep the car for a future project.
Car will be off the road for 6 months while I go back overseas to work and save money
Thinking of either a 16 V 2.0 or 20V 1.8 Turbo to replace the 8v.

My family of course thinks I'm insane.

[Domel]

Good on ya, mate!

And, yes, I'm afraid you are insane!

haha, luckily my girlfriend can accept it.

Had a good read though some of the forums here and Overseas and the VAG 1.8 20 valve doesn't look too complicated to swap in.
