'83 Golf GTi Engineering mit Oettinger
The car was owned by John Jones of AudiGolfHits fame - you may remember he built the 16V turbo engine in Mark Elliot's monster that cleaned up on the 1/4 mile sprint at GTI International in the TRL days. Sadly John died of cancer around 6 years ago and the car was passed on to his son Neil from whom I bought the car. I have a lot of history with the car and am gradually putting the car back to as it was the day it left GTi Engineering.
Work so far:
- complete service with G63 plugs
- new cambelt and tensioner
- refurbish instrument cluster (working MFA, fuel consumption indicator)
- refurbish gear linkage, new rods, fit Hurst shifter with reverse lock out
- fit new aerial
- refurbish front grille
- fit new front spoiler
- remove single wiper conversion, refit original linkage with Mk2 Scirocco motor upgrade
- fit Zender Sports 7"x15"
