[5teve]

Not too bad! Would of been more
Convenient if it was sold with a roadworthy

[Jarred]

Given the amount of new parts throughout this car, I doubt it would need much.

Best to give Dean a call if you're serious.

[paintz]

bargain but interior shots needed dude looks nice

[empski]

Can you get
owners original name or when it was last registered
the guy selling had no idea about anything?

[Jarred]

As stated in the first post, the car isn't mine.

I hardly doubt that the owner has no idea about anything since he built the car

[empski]

when i was down in melbourne i took a look!
oh well he told me he bought it like it was ?
also didn't know if that engine from the seat had been registered with the car?
didn't know if it had a cat converter

you probably know this but in syd if you do the engine conversion it has to to comply
to emission standards of that year of the engine.
he also told me he didn't know what year the engine was and said the car came with it?

didnt have any papers from previous owner either?

[empski]

Just a bit sketch is all!
no biggy

I'm not going to get into an argument on this thread but he did mention your visit.

You have to remember this car was built a quite a while ago, so it's understandable that there might be a few things someone forgotten.
Trying to get a mk 1 with history is like trying to juggle chain saws. naked. in the middle of a rugby scrum. It's going to be difficult.
Basically, I don't see how by not having some of the cars history it is a bit 'sketch'.

This car is a bargain. A rust free mk 1 2door with fresh (and professionally done) paint is worth 5K alone, let alone the facts it's got an engine swap, it's a GENUINE GTI and has a whole bunch of new parts under it. All it needs is a few days of TLC to to get it ready for rego.


Check your local laws, but the GTI, being an import, will probably be able to be registered without an issue with the 2.0 8V, without cat etc. No way RTA can prove that the engine didn't come in the car.

Any further questions about the car, please contact Dean.
