    Red face Be gentle... I have a new Mk2

    Hey guys.

    After much umming and aahing, I decided to lash out and get a Mk2 GTI. My little sister needed a car to get to uni work placement, so I've given her my Mk3, and went searching for a new project...

    Enter this UK Import 3 door 1985 GTI...

    2L 8V 110Hp Audi K-Jet motor
    No P/S
    No A/C
    Sunroof
    Zender bodykit (Soon to go to a good home...)
    All the, um, mod cons...









    Be gentle... It is, afterall, a project car - a real work in progress...

    Cheers!!!
    John

    Good to see the older GTIs are still going strong.

    Need to correct you on the campaign bit though. They were made in late 87 into 88. They came with the newer digifant engine, had half tint rear lights, big windows and rainbow trim as well as only coming in metallic black, helios blue and oak green. They had different wheels to the std GTI, the Le Castellet.

    mk2s galore, good work fellas. golfer- that rare zender front end (not my cup of tea) could be worth something, is it going o/s? gpk- those mirrors are in a funny spot.
