Goodbye VW !!

[RedMk2Gti]

Well, any hobby will have an end day. 3 years ago I bought this car for $900.00, a 2 doors Mk1 with Kjet is quite rare so I had no hesitation to pick it up, then the nightmare started, I have been kept spending money on it, body works, wheel hunting, buying incorrect parts etc, etc, at the end I've got what I wanted (a trophy in 2009 VW nat) but the mrs keep complaining it takes up the garage space and her bmw need to sleep outside every night. so I decided to let her go.

Last 2 photos when this guy inspected the car in transport depot, then it'll start its 4000km journey to the other end of this country. I wish the new owner will join this forum and enjoy the car.

BYE BYE

Sorry for your loss mate that looks like a very sweet ride.

Stories like this always make me thankful that my girlfriend of 8 years not only loves them as much as i do but drives one herself.

[Jarred]

Go all the way to Perth
I can't stand without a VW in my driveway

Sorry to hear you are VW'less Eric.....glad I got those clear-front indicators from you, nonetheless.....
My suggestion.....do what I did...buy her a reliable 'Japanese VW', in my case yet another Subaru (our 5th) so she can enjoy the luxury and dependability and you'll then always have a reliable back-up for when your next VW is in pieces (yet again!!)

Cheers

So is it a reliable car now then ?? or am I likely to see the "new owner" needing parts here also ?? lol.

BMW's deserve to be parked outdoors, specially the newer models...

Good luck on finding a replacement .

It is always reliable, I've never need to call a tow truck I can't imagine it will be parted out.
The new owner is a newbie here, he'll post up something when he get the car.
Replacement ....... hmmmmmmm I'm still thinking, am keep my eye open for Mk2 or latest Mk1 Cabrio

Yeah, its coming to Perth and can't wait!
I just havent come accross one for ages for sale in Perth, especially 2 door!
So decided to just get it over with and frieght one here.

Yes I am the new owner and will pretty much just maintain it as is, maybe a few minor cosmetics but thats it.
I will post up some nice Pics of it in some picturesque perth landscapes when it arrives.
If any of you Perthians wanna go for a Mk1 or Just VW cruise just let me know.

And if anyone else knows this car relatively well it would be great to hear from you!
