Mk1 dilema...

I bought my GTI with all the best intentions, but the credit crunched shortly after I took out a big mortgage and I ran spectacularly out of disposable income. I fitted the coilovers over a year ago and she hasn't moved since…

She's an 82 in Mars Red, with a sunroof that was pretty much complete when I bought her. Apart from some electrical gremlins (indicators and wipers) and rusted arches she seemed ok. She does need welding aroung the front suspension mounts and will need a new passenger floor. I have stripped the interior completely, with plans to weld and paint, so she'll need to be re-assembled.

I've laid out for the coilies, and a second set of used alloys to get the offset right, as well as some heavy fibreglass wide arches.

Now my dilema: I've pretty much fallen out of love with the car and need to get her gone. I don't want to break her as there's not enough MK1's as is, but don't want to put any more money into her only to sell her.

So, do I break her, spend the money to do the bits needed and get her road-worthy again only to sell her, or try and off-load her as is?

Any ideas, advice or takers?  :dontknow:

if you genuinely have no interest in it anymore, then sell it as is and let someone who will get something out of it rebuild it.

my personal feeling is that i wouldnt want to buy a car in a "finished" state.
The bit i get the most out of is building it myself!

If you can keep it where it is, dont break it, too many get broken! (including one by myself recently ops if you have the space to store it, then keep it until you get a decent price for it.

give it a little more time , i get wholeheartedly sick of my 2 sometimes too

I'd love to keep it and can now afford to, but I need the garage space as I'm planning on getting an S4 early next-year. And the missus hass said I can't have both.

I think I'm going to get her roadworthy and enjoy her for a bit before selling her.

think your right, get some good out of it first , worth loads more roadworthy n usable
