Lowered on coilovers - only a few months old
New wishbones, ball joints recently
Rear drum brake rebuilt 50 miles ago with all new parts
Front brakes rebuilt caliper with bosch pads & X drilled vented discs

All the above and engine conversion was carried out by the guy who owned this car before me. He bulids show winning classic vw's so a lot of money and perfection has been carried out.

Bodywork / Exterior
repainted in 2007 but does show signs of wear
there is some very slight surface rust on inside bottom edges of the doors & bubble on p/s door. nothing major, hardly noticeable just me being honest.
paint is by no means perfect but car is very solid & overall, presentable.
side trims have been removed but will include the trim in the sale of the car
Deeper GTi front splitter
Crystal X hair front lights
Twin light grill
Bosch fogs

Interior
Perfect black year correct interior taken from a GX model - basically a model which used all GTi
interior, trim etc but had a 1.5 carb engine and 5 doors.
gti centre console complete with VDO guages,not wired up though.
Only sign of wear is around the choke
Lovely clean cream headliner
Parcel shelf is complete (no speaker holes) but shows some sign of use
Boot has been lined with black acoustic carpet.
Sony headunit also installed and included with the sale


This car went  through the last MOT with no welding required yet again for another year!

i have a folder of receipts for this car going back years, with loads of new parts purchased, also a few receipts from the donor golf that the engine came out of.

very nippy as well, keep up with and gti model with ease.
