Mk2 Golf GTi 16v in Aus?

[h100vw]

There was a red one for sale there a couple of years ago. I managed to get a look at some detailed pics of it
If its the same one there is a considerable amount of rust around the strut tower on the D/S & a very basic GTI options wise.

There wasn't a lot of options on 16Vs to be fair. They got the beesting, central locking, electric windows, tints, sunroof, alloys as std. Which is pretty much most of the options that you see regularly. Aircon and headlight washers were rare as in the UK.

My GTI G60 which is the top MK2 outside the Limited had keep fit windows.

I concur, my 16v has sunroof, tinted windows, electric windows, beesting, have fitted aircon myself.....No elec mirrors and not really interested in them.

I forgot power steering early small bumper 16Vs didn't all have it.

I don't want your right arm velly

I also fitted PAS much nicer to drive around town, but at least most options you can retro fit, unlike a factory sunroof.

Hi guys,
I bought my red '89 16v out of South Aust. a few years back. Maybe its the one you were talking about. Mine dose have red/grey checked trim though. But rough all round but detailed it hard and it looks good now. Like Carl I had elect. windows, locks and manual sunroof. I put in power steer and AC from a wrecked mk2.
I have the parts for power windows too. i'll fit them up one day.

It'll get a full engine rebuild and a respray this year to make it like new.

Stiggy, NB: I was also searching one night for a 16v as i had wanted one badly for ages, since 1987 actually, and i was searching around the net one night trying anything i could to find one at about 11:30pm. I thought i'll never find one as i now had the money but not the car and it was allways the other way round. I thought oh well ill look again later in the week but before i turned off carsales i hit refresh and my car poped up. i nearly fell of my chair!! Was on a plane 2 days later with a mission.
Keep looking you'll get one eventually.

PS. if anybody knows were that helios 16v is let me know as i want it. Had a 1983 urquattro and a 1988 GTI cab in that colour. Looks great.

I remember the one I saw before had light beige/cream cloth interior, which really didn't do a car like that justice & no P/S or A/C, not thats always an issue
I think the owner at that time was a professor at Adelaide uni

Have you managed to have a look at this one Gavin?
(Headlight washers sound a bit flash)

Not seen it Ian, Robin sees more of this stuff than me. He drives through town more than I do.

I had headlight washers on my MK1 GTI, along with a 5.5 litre washer bottle. I had a switch to isolate them, as they'd dump the whole contents of the bottle in about a minute. Nothing worse than running out of washer fluid.

They are a really useful extra when big bulbs in your lights, cause road spray to weld itself to the lens in winter.

Any one seen a helios blue big bumper 16v around.
Member vwgolf said to me it was his back in the mid/late 90's which he sold to someone in Adelaide ? I did have a pic of it, its plates were YY-638
