never been to a vw show b4 been to a few car shows, usually classic, but never a specific golf one.

managed to sell my mk4 GTTDI for ?3750 and i paid ?1350 for the cabby. not a complete bargain cos it has had to have a bit of work on it, but i had a feeling about it. i was offered some minters as px for my mk4 but they just werent the same :dontknow:

i forked out 2200 for mine but it was in mint condition.i turned up to view it with the cash in my pocket and after about 5 mins of driving it i had to have it.
have you had to change the brakes yet??
they are always shitty on the golf if you've only got the standard ones.
this is my second mk1 cab
i had a limited edition karmann cab but the engine blew itself up and took the gearbox with it.lol
still managed to sell it for ?500 without a key,gearbox,working engine,battery or steering wheel, basically just the shell, with leaking roof. thats how valuable they are nowadays.
whats your mileage?? and do you iknow if its the original engine??

yes i've redone the brakes. the cylinders were leaking fluid, the brake flexi were twisted, pads were right down to the metal, discs were corroded mechanic said it looked like a butcher had been at it
i havent uprated them, cos i dont thrash my car or go at ridiclous speed so there's no need really. its stops fine now! theres just an oil leak which is a shame but it could be worse!

you'll need to get as much info on your engine as you can off the net because i went to buy a new dizzy for mine and found out thet there were something like 13 different engines made for the gtis&cabs in about 6 years, and it took a good few hours to sort out which parts i needed.
i need to upgrade the rear brakes cos im still running on drums and i want to put disks and pads on.
theres no point going stupidly quick in a cab neway its for cruising around with the roof down in the sun.
thats why im after a mk1 gti tin-top or i might get a newer car for reliability???
theres a mk1 gti cab for sale on ebay where you get a mk1 gti tin-top for free!!!! im waitin till that gets towards the end of the auction to see the price.
