sparkz 0 Posted April 18, 2006 Report Share Posted April 18, 2006 I picked this up for £50 last month......Golf 1.3 driverFull corrado interiorNew carpetsNew roof liningLowering springsLoads of new engine bitsNew debadged grilleNew front and rear bumperNew headlights90k on the clockIt was a restoration project with the last owner and he lost interest in it when he fell in love with a motorbike. Had sat on his mums driveweay for the last 6 years and she wanted rid of it to make way for a new paved driveway. He said to make him an offer as he was looking to call the scrapper. I said £50 as a joke, and he said yes!! I towed it straight away!! I am technically the 2nd owner as he bought it off the first owner but it was never driven. finally, typical vw style, i put a brand new battery on it, sprayed a bit of carb cleaner on the carburettor, turned the key and it started!!! The last time he turned the key was 4 years ago! !lol !lol !lol Link to post Share on other sites
