Could you post up some pictures of the car?
As many as possible from inside and out, engine bay and even underneath .
Show us the good, the bad and the ugly.
What you have they maybe more valuable then you think!

So don't be in a hurry to give it away just yet.
We're an honest club and over the next few days as members read this once we've seen the car you'll get a fair figure of what it could sell for.
They are (the car) 'Rare' but the word is far to often used when it shouldn't be but in the case it's correct!

Thanks very much for the reply! I have a load of photos, but I didn't have the option to upload with my original post.
The option is there now but I'm having formatting problems with the forum (maybe Mac issues?). My posts are coming out weird, anyway…
Cheers

What's the mechanic willing to pay you for the car?
You can send me a Private Message known as a PM if you prefer or just say nothing, I don't mind but I won't be back on line today!

The Campaign leather steering wheel looks like it's missing though.
I can answer your question on the wheels though, they are BBS RO's not seen on a Golf before, but plenty on Mk2 Sciroccos and in smaller size on Polo's

It's worth far more than that even though we can't see how bad the rust is underneath etc.
Not that it should happen but if you have the time and patience you'll get far more than that by selling the parts.
My best advice if your not in a hurry is to get it on a car ramp and have a good look underneath, make photos and see what others say.

Especially helpful with the BBS wheels - always wondered where they were from
It's obviously had a lot of changes over the course of time, (all before me and the friend I got it from). It does have a sunroof, though I suspect that's a whole kettle of fish in itself (rust etc). It was registered in Germany (7 days before I was born - part of the reason I've always been attached to it and dreamt of doing it up).
Cheers
PS - the amount I'm offered is essentially giving it away

You have potential something special there so if you don't want to restore it and have a holiday for two somewhere like the Bahamas for two weeks or longer.
You clean it up, sell it and stay at a top hotel in Vienna, Austria for a few days!

It's going to get a full strip down and rebuild.
I've sold the white cabby to make space for this in the garage
I've put this one at the front of the que so the oettinger mk1 and the g60 cabby will be on the back burner for a while
I will be pinging up a build thread as soon as it's fully stripped and on the rollover jig .
Wish me luck
