Maroon 1987 mk1 golf 1.8 cabrio
-Needs a new roof as the previous owner tried to fix this one and did a bad job so it leaks quite a lot
-The electrics could do with looking at as they can be a tad tempremental but i think its an easy fix
-The filler neck has been 'relocated' to the boot by the previous owner too-interior is in generally ok condition drivers seat has a slight tear in it but the others are okay-Few bits of interior trim missing
-Hole in the back box
-New fan belt
-New alternator adjuster
-New/second hand alternator fitted-New fog light
-Says 147k on the clock but this hasn't changed since owning the car so not actually sure how many miles it has on it
-Bodywork in generally good condition with a few age related marks. There is a scratch and chip on the boot but rest isnt that bad and cleans up quite nicely as you can see from the photos
-Berg cup wide arches just installed
-Deep banded 14" steels with stretched tyres
-Paintwork looks really good when it catches the sun
-Still have the original bumpers and grill with fogs
-Lowered all round on adjustable coilovers
-Rust free as far as i can see except in a few small areas nothing major
-Brand new fuel lines
-Starts runs and drives fine
-MOT until May i believe
-HPI clear
Thats everything i can think of at the moment will add anything else if i think of it!
Cheers for any help i just have no idea what she's worth!

Not a project that has been 1/8 started.
That relates to money at the end of the day.
You have narrowed your potential buyer market down considerably.
As we all know it's one thing putting a value on something but parting with the cash is an whole different matter of course.
You probably need someone who really wants to complete the job and if they're are willing to put a Grand in your hand I'd take it! 🤔
There's so much work and expensive needed to take it one way or the other, not many people you'll find are willing to do that with so many other cars out there. 😉

how much is my cabrio worth?
First question is do you want the car? If no then cut your losses and invest the money elsewhere if yes then crack on with your vision and have a nice motor.
As a side tip paint the arches black satin if going to sell as is they will look a little more finished that way in case there is a buyer that wants a cabby wife arch, but for me they don’t mix. Wide arch for motorsports (always tin tops), cabbies for road (mainly hairdressers

Good luck with whatever you do and if you want opinions on a golf there are some great people here but ultimately as they tell me all the time - it is your car and your dream (or nightmare).

That being said I like it as it sits. Looks mean and moody.
I'd colour match the arches or go black with them.
At the end of the day you know wht's wrong with this one. If you sold it and bought another it'd still have problems you just wouldn't know what they are!
Good luck with it

At the moment its neither an original or a completed custom job, vastly limiting the market unless you make it that cheap people can't resist

The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.
