why O why would you put a roof rack on a car like that!

Looked in much better nick when valver sold it. Looks like it just needs a touch of visual TLC.

South Australia, Tassie, New South Wales.... where too next! I hope it comes to vic!

Wow, this is nice! Looks like a very neat conversion. I think this car might have been listed on here way, way back, maybe a couple of years ago?

[Jarred]

It was first listed on here by a bloke in SA who had done the 16V conversion (quite some time ago now). At this stage it was standardish GTI look. Then Valver bought it in Tassie, dumped a who bunch of awesome parts into it, cleaned it up and made it look like a million bucks. That would have been around about 2 years ago I think (I wanted to buy the car at that stage!)

Looks pretty much the same now as it did when Valver sold it, except the addition of a roof rack, and just in need of some detailing TLC.

Wow. That is so nice.

[Satanstoenail]

I want that.

[PranK]

So nice.

[Stiggy_21]

OMG!!!! thats mint.
pity about the racks tho

[GoLfMan]

meh roof racks are removable, this would buff up nice! It's got all the right kit in it!

Is that really the sort of money that 16V Mk1s are worth? I've wondered about this for whenever I come to sell mine. They're very similar motors by the sounds of things, albeit mine is a 2.0L. Plus there are some things mine has which this doesn't like rear disc brakes, new chrome bumpers, Mk2 dash etc and I never expected to get that sort of coin.

the dudes a surfer and guess better to strap the boards to the roof like I do

[mikinoz]

Yes, properly sorted they are worth that, or more. What people will pay is another story.

[HuH]

Too true. That's why I feel like I'm better off assuming that all the money spent is gone for good!

[Jarred]

That car has had a fair bit of coin spent on it. Some really nice quality parts as well, such as KW coils and Gotti wheels.

I've also heard (not seen it IRL myself) that the engine swap was as 'factory', should have VW actually done a mk 1 16V. So I guess that always helps the 'completeness' of a car.

But as mikinoz said. What a mk1 (or any modified old golf) is worth, and what people are willing to pay, are often two very different things.

Very nice car. Props to all involved in it. I hope it goes to another loving owner.
