Golf Mk2 Gti 16v Type19

GOLF MK2 TYPE19 16V 1987

127k miles

Has had a lot of time and money spent on her in the last year. Just flew through MOT so is mechanically sound just a few cosmetic bits need doing to make mint. Has had a respray @ some point in her life that isn't perfect but presentable. Underneath there is no rust but can see patch of underseal on drivers side so has had welding done.

Overall there is no real problem rust either just a bit of surface in places.

Only major mod is the ap coilovers,  still pretty comfy on the chunky tyres, can go much lower or higher if you wish. Ride is good @ this height tho, handles well.

Being one of the last "type19" she has quarter light windows, LHD wipers and electric windows.

Since october she's had-

New ball joints, front and rear discs and pads, brake fluid refresh, new injectors, 3 pin (2 stage) fan upgrade, full service inc pipercross air filter plugs, leads & coil , new clutch, diff/ gearbox rebuild, 4 new tyres, inner cv joint, wheel bearings all round, serviced fuel pumps/ metering head, cambelt, radiator, front engine mount, alternator & belt, thermostat & refreshed coolant, door membranes (done properly), steering column bearing and housing. Idle/Co/ Timing all set properly.

As you can see alot has been done mechanical and drives good as the result, no knocks or bangs. (Sorry for the random order, was trying to think of everything done, will probably add more as I remember, hard to keep track as a lot has been done)

Now the not so good, she's 34 years young so she isn't perfect. Door cards have come away @ the bottom. Steering wheel could do with replacing (just feels old). Front bumper has a couple bolts in it, no idea what for, never taken them out. Battery went flat, have put a "tap" on to turn battery off, thought that there was a drain but it was just the boot light, new switch fitted and is fine now. Will have a fresh battery in for new owner. Drivers door handle sticks because of door cards and aftermarket door handles with oem trigger, have to open and shut just right to be alright lol. Rear wiper mechanism missing but spindle thing is still there, never bothered me just needs a bung to sort. As mentioned before, paint isn't brilliant but have seen worse jobs. Has just been polished/ cleaned. Inside the car could do with cleaning, will hopefully be done before sale.

Service history pretty much starts with me.

Overall she's a good car, cheaper than you think to insure too. I have been honest as possible and if you need to know more please message me. More pics on request too.

I think I've priced her just right @ 6.6k, with all the niggly bits sorted she'll be worth much more, are only going up in value. Haven't seen many in this spec up for sale so dare I say it's "rare".

Couple more things to ad,

Front speakers are not wired in, and the rear speakers are aftermarket and are not great, never bothered me and does come with sony head unit.

Exhaust manifold could do with replacing, was goin to go stainless system eventually to make the 16v sing.

Headlining has been redone to a very high standard, just is not original material, looks good though.

Also sold as seen, no warranty implied only becuase of her age. I have driven her everywhere and she's never let me down.
