83 GTi Untouched for the last 5 years

Not been on here for a while, but after 5 years I finally got my MK1 back to my house. I'd forgotten how good they look.

Its totally standard apart from the Campaign wheels and a Koni Shocks/Spring setup.
I think its about time I tried to scrape some cash toghether to get it taxed and MOTd.

Nice car!

That looks very clean - hope it sails through the Mot!

Looks really tidy mate, you need to be driving that! :wink:

clean!  looks great.  love the green, is it lahassa (sp?)?

That is really nice, get it driven!!

stunning condition.  i'm looking to get back into a mk1 gti after having owned one many years ago.  moved onwards and upwards all the way to a porsche 911 in the end.

i neither have the time nor the talent to restore a car.  how much would a car like this cost if i could find one?

Very very tidy mate…you'l have some fun in that! !

They tend to turn heads  

Is that  four relay headlight conversion I see over ther eon the left? Sweet! Have one myself in exactly the same place.

Really nice car mate, seems a shame not to be using it!!

Certainly is, made a huge difference than standard. Just needs tidying up with regads the wiring.  The blue/whire cable looped up is for an oil temp if I ever fit a sender.

It is a big shame not to be driving it, but money came short and I left my job. Then  got a company motor so using this all the time seemed far to easy. At least i've not let it rust away like you sometimes see.

God only knows mate. It took me nearly 18 months to find mine and that was years back. I bet there arn't that many untouched standard motors left any more.
