Buying a cabriolet - advice please

Hello!

I'm new to this website and I'm cheekily asking for advice already! ops:
My first car was a mk1 golf and even though I spent a fortune on it, I've always wanted another, so now I'm in a position where I can afford to - ish.
I don't have a fortune and I'm not exactly handy with a spanner, so if anyone can give me any pointers so that I don't end up with a dead dub it would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers

theres a straight cab near me, only thing is its a clipper (carb) and its white, full ticket though and cheap ?800 on an h'. find someone off here who would be willing to go with you to look at the car they seem a nice enough bunch 8O   never had a cab but check all usual, rust/rot, clutch, gearbox and i guess hood. in my opinion cabs prettiest golf going hood up or down, good luck
p.s talk to walt, he may look a bit odd but he has a cab :wink:

Have a look at my

Draft Cabriolet Buying Guide

…and also the buying guides on the right of this web site Home page, they should, between them give you an idea of what to look out for.

Good luck..!!

Thanks for your help!! Hopefully I'll be the proud owner of a cab very soon. No doubt I'll be back asking for more advice in the future.

Also, tomo320 where is near you?
