Sadly for sale to changed circumstances my MK3 Golf VR6 track-day car - only used once in anger (honest!)
Built in 1996 not taxed or tested - currently on a sorn.
Sprayed badly in eye-catching Yellow (RAL 911) anyone on track would have to be clinically blind to miss it (that was the idea as the missus was going to be driving it ;C).
What can I say about her - she came to me with a blown lump and body mods (dents) from a mad Italian about 4 years back, since then I have fitted a replacement lower mileage engine, replaced the gearbox and selector linkage - the grill was removed and replaced with mesh job. The shocks were then replaced with with JOM adjustable height coil-overs and the car was set as low as it was possible so as not to rip off the sump when passing over anything bigger than an ant, works well on track (rather too low for road use assuming you want to put her back on the road).
Good points
Body isn't too bad virtually no rust - dents were sorted as well etc
plastic trim removed and smoothed over
engine is as smooth as silk
starts first time (hadn't run her since Aug 2010 started 1st go with a fresh battery)
comes with a spare gearbox
a spare gear selector unit with cables (common fault floppy gear change apparently)
has the complete kit to change the head gasket including bolts and special tool (cam holder)
JOM coil-overs
currently fitted with BBS alloys
has a spare set of GTI wheels
quick release bonnet clips
mesh grill
spare set of original vw front pads
still has the original interior fitted not in bad nick
Has steering boss adapter to fit a MOMO or similar wheel
Has CAT1 alarm immobilizer fitted (working)
Bad points
The worlds worst paint job - paint runs - chips etc - it was sprayed - just very badly
could do with a good clean both inside and under the bonnet - been sat for 22 months!
sunroof is stuck - cracked open slightly
she's got 4 doors
air bag is disabled
will need a battery
What do I want for this prime piece of German engineering? Given the spares/upgrade parts provided with the car will damn near cover the cost of the car if resold then £325 and no silly offers please
She will need trailering away, but will drive onto a trailer under her own power.
I have the V5C in my name.
