I have a car you are interested in, Do a deal??

Cheers mate

Sounds like a great idea guys

That way, we may see two racing Golfs out and about instead of none

Drag him out from the shed and bring him back to life

Yeah I know Golfman, but Gunter isn't show material by any means! He's had over 6 years of everything being thrown against him (including guide posts and an out of control Lucaliar at Symmons) and he's looking a bit tired.
I built it up to protect my black Mk2 GTI door,(86gtis now) as its easier to repair or throw away than a later one. In that respect he well and truly exceeded my expectations! Will get him going again someday soon......

Same year that we hit the 3 guide posts! About 3 months after. He was all fixed 4 days after out "off". Same with T boning the car at Symmons. Front wa shoved across a couple of inches. Stripped it on yhe monday after, sent it to be pulled straight. Golfwise kindly gave me a front panel that had been in a blackberry bush for about 6 years. Got that sandblasted, remounted it and painted it all up with new guards ect. Competed in a hillclimb 2 weeks later trying to defend my title. Didn,t win though.
Gunter, apart from a couple of times was a very low cost, low maintenance car. Over the whole time competing he owed me less than $30,000. Thats over 6 years of competition. To put that in perspective, I was talking to a local with a Porsche 930 last night who has spent $200,000 in two years!
I know he is in a different league to me but he has never beaten me in a hilllclimb yet. Will this year though, remember, no motor or gearbox!!!!! Cheers!
