My 1991 Mk1 CABBY

ive been on the hunt for 1 of these for the last while now ,and by chance a friend of the wifes heard about it, this 1 belonged to her cousin and wasnt actually for sale but she passed on my details and after a few phone calls and emails the deal was done this evening…

Its a 1991 1.8 8v karmann gti first registered on the 7th of january 1991, ordered on the 22/12/1990 with a huge history file showing all services and work carried out throughout its life in the uk and ireland ,the paint is in good condition its had the boot lid replaced back in 2005 and 1 rear arch painted, on digging around it has pagid pads on the front, an upper strut brace and lower anti roll bar fitted , the rear shocks have also been uprated aswell, the interior was tidied a while ago aswell with the seats getting new foam and the plastic mat on the carpet being replaced, it has manual windows front and rear but the roof is electric, the fabric on the roof has shrunk but it can wait until next year to be replaced as its fully usable, there will be more to follow when i collect the car next week…

my plans for now are to service it, fit a stereo sort the brakes, different wheels, and enjoy it for the summer…..

if you put them next to each other then i would guess there would be a big difference. without anything to compare there are a few that all look simular

Daddy i'm too sick to go to school but i can help you wash your car (note the plastic bag on the left leg to keep the bandage dry ) if i have to watch 1 more episode of sponge bob or handy manny im going to crack up…….

got 1 of the lads on my local forum to have a play around with photoshop and swap the wheels from my caddy van onto the golf and the golf wheels onto the van, i really should get my coilovers and lowering shackles fitted to that van as i have them over a year now….anyway
