Afternoon all. By chance I went past the place with the cars ealier today and the bloke was there. I didn't have my camera so wasn't able to get any pics (sorry).

The mk1 is pretty rough. It is sitting under a tarp out in the weather and now there is water on the floor (roof has been removed and stored in the shed), other then that most of the interior is pretty poor however might clean up ok. Roof is reasonable, needs some patch work. Body is a bit rough with a few rust patches needing attention and a few bumps knocked out. Apparently it runs, but the motor needs some attention (could confirm as it had not battery). On the plus it had BBS old school wheels on it (14s maybe). All in all it needs a bit of work to get it on the road and is missing a few bits, plus would need a respray.

I am still not 100% sure it is GTI. The only sign that it was a GTI is the steering wheel that is currently on the mk2 which apparently is off the mk1. It has the duel headlights but not the red insert and all badges have been removed.

The car is apparently a personal import and came into the country in 95.

That is all the detail I could get. He is wanting $800 all up for both the mk1 and the 84 mk2 GLI (which is in pretty good condition and very close to RWC and only done about 151,000 k's, it is also an import).

Thoughts???????

Did it have the sway bar? and was it an 1800 DX K-Jet?

To be honest, it sounds a bit molested, but $800 for 2 cars, doesn't sound like you can go too far wrong if even one is decent.
