Model: Volkswagen Golf Mk1
Year: 1983
Mileage:
Tax: June 2010
MOT: December 2010
Location: Lincoln
Price: £750ovno
Additional Information: Impending financial ruin is forcing my hand, the Golf has to go. It's a great little car and has been very reliable for me, I'll be sad to see it go.
The GX model was only produced in 1983 and was a sort of run-out model for the Mk1 Golf. It got all the chrome trim from the GLS model, but also has a GTi style interior (sames seats, different material). It has the 1.5 (1457cc) 70bhp engine which is the same block as the bigger 1.6 and 1.8 engines, so engine upgrades would be relatively straight forward.
I bought the car in June 2008 in almost standard form and since owning it I've fitted coilovers, alloys wheels and a few cosmetic touches to make it more to my tastes. (Single light grill, period number plates..)
The bodywork is generally good, there are a couple of rust spots on the bottom of the drivers door and a little on the passenger side front wing under the bumper (I've got a rust free wing to replace this that I'll include), but it doesn't detract from it too much.
The alloys are BMW bottletops with 195/45 tyres with lots of tread, the coilovers are the Hottuning one you can get off Ebay (fitted by me Sept 2008), the ride is surprisingly good, but very firm. I've not got them wound right down in those pics, the car could go lower if you wanted.
I've not got an interior photo to hand, I'll try and take one today, but it's in great condition, no tears on the seats and no wear on the drivers seat where they usually go. There is a Kenwood CD player and Sony speakers in the parcel shelf (I've saved the original shelf, which will come with the car).
While I've had it I've replaced the discs and pads up front (less than 500 miles ago), o/s/f wheel bearing, strut tops mounts and all the suspension and it's had a service in the last 500 miles. It's been very reliable for me, starts easily and drives well.
The car passed it's MoT just over a week ago, all it needed to pass was a small patch on the chassis leg near the rear beam, which is a common rot-spot for Mk1s. Car is now taxed until the end of June 2010.
These photos are from earlier this year, I'll try and get some more up to date ones asap.
And a good indicator of what the colour (Lhasa Green) looks like in person, my camera always makes it look darker... (thanks Edd!)
This one was taken on Wednesday this week, nothing much has changed since the first pictures, but it's got the twin light grill on now (single would be included) and I've taken the mudflaps off (I'll include them too).
I've also got a spare n/s hub carrier with a new bearing already pressed in and track rod end for the same side to go with it which will be included as well.
