Mk2 Golf GTi 16v in Aus?

[Gipson]

hey ausgolfer just out of curiosity how hard is it to fit the p/s and aircon to the non p/s a/c models?

Lewy, see if you can get someone to chop the rear quarters, including windows from a 2 door Mk2 and get the front doors from the same car.
I`d then make a 5 door into 2 door

Hi All,
I accidently stumbled on this newsgroup. I do have a Mk2 16V GTI ... sort of. I have a late mk1 golf (rabbit) that was transplanted the 1989 16V Mk2 GTI engine + gearbox and other running gear. It looks just like this

,but with 4 headlights. I bought it from a GOLF fanatic and he had imported all the bits from Germany at great expense. It has sport springs and Koni adjustable shocks with anti-roll bars at the front and back. IT has fitted sport exhaust and from what I was told tuned to 160hp (140 in original state). I’ve had it for almost 7 years and it is still in great mechanical condition. The body is not in perfect condition but still looks ok. I’m beginning to think of selling it, but I’m finding it hard to explain to people the value of such a car. A bought it for 9G back in 2002 and am finding it hard to settle on a price. My question is what would you say the value of such a car maybe and if anyone is interested in buying it I’d be willing to talk.

I would appreciate any comments and advice

Are you in Adelaide. Peder was saying the other day he built one like this. I've seen that one parked on Grange rd same spec as yours.

Welcome to the forum mate

Hi all,

Thanks for the welcome. I am from Adelaide and do park a few times a week on Grange road, so it may actually be the same car. I’ll post a few pictures so people get a better idea of what the car looks like. I do apologize for posting on the Mk2 forum as technically speaking it is a Mk1. I would love to hear about any worth wile engine or body mods and also places to find good bits and pieces as I may decide to keep it for a few more years.

Cheers

Adelaide's a small place, like the rabbit badge. Update your profile/location as it makes it easier when selling stuff etc

Thanks, will do

Good news!!

i found a 2dr mk2 16v GTi,
just wondering what sort of things should i look out for before buying it.
besides the basic check over mechanically, bodywork etc. is there anything else to take into consideration?

Is it the red one or the blue one? When there aren't many around you get to know them lol
