"Black Pearl" mk2 golf

[Rabbid]

hi all

just purchased 1984 mk2 golf that I will be using as daily or try to at least...at this stage I couldn't see any rust so I'm pretty happy about that...so why black pearl??? well it started its life as silver mk2 but previous owner has replaced most of the things with black big bumper mk2 that he had sitting around, and unlike black pearl which was fastest on the water this thing is 1.6 Carburetted brick... but its my brick...some off you will say that carbie can be tuned and the car will be quick, but I don't want to go fast...low and slow...car is being transported to QLD from VIC by car carrier...

few facts about the car;

1984 mk2 golf
1.6 carbie - need tunning at this stage
jom coil overs
dildo gear nob - needs to go
big bumper conversion
drivers door is early model mk2, so it has a quarter window - replacement with latter model door
passenger door is later model mk2, so no quarter window
had problems putting it on tow truck due to height (never thought I would say this but it needs to be raised)
roof lining needs to be replaced - as there is staples holding it near the C pillar
sun visors need to be put on
it might have a leak on the sump
wipers work when they want
passenger side mirror missing

that's just what I noticed or was told by previous owner

got handful of photos that I will post when I work it out how...more will be posted when the car gets here....

why Rabbid, well its not GTI it is CL

that's all for now, hope you guys can assist with parts or knowledge

Looks like a fun little project.
I always hated those sheets car transporters use to point of every defect in the paint haha

it would have been easier to circle the whole thing

interesting times are ahead...

Why does it have an aftermarket ignition system?

That's way too low to be a daily driver. JOM coilovers would be too stiff as well.

Have a look at the MK2 thread in my signature for tips on getting your car to be a daily and still be fun to drive.
