Love the colour and interior... would be nice slammed on some fat 13's!!

Clicky

 

[ronan]

pity about the two extra doors though!

 

[Robbie]

Yeah, it is a shame its not a 3 door

 

[Alfaguy]

Obviously its a GL as the CL of the time was quite a basic car. I recall at the time when I went to buy one it did not even have intermittent wipers as standard and as dull as dishwater to drive.

I agree with Ronan about the back doors - I don't think the modders will be too keen on this one.

Would be nice bushing a gap somwhere more like......

 

[Geo]

lol, bit harsh Tom

QUOTE Would be nice bushing a gap somwhere more like......

LOL also, but a bit harsh on the poor 'ol Mk2

 

[Glenn]

It's not harsh, it's a gold 5dr automatic with a brown + beige interior for crying out loud!!!!

 

[rmn]

you can polish a turd, and do everything you want to a turd...but its still a turd

 

[VST]

Its not harsh at all!

The only 5 door Mk2 worth saving from the crusher is a Limited........that automatic thing should be either a cheap summer runabout for some visting yank, or left to rot where it is cos it's never going to be cool......

You saying you dont like it then?!!

I just think its a bit different

Sounds like you know your stuff when it comes to polishing turds rmn!!!!

 

[Glenn]

If you'd been showing us this you might have got a different reaction Robbie

79 Silver Mk1 GTI on Carzone

 

[Robbie]

Well, you either like the Mk2 or would like to burn it.... its that kind of car!

I dont think anyone would turn there nose up at that Mk1, Looks very well from the photos.

 

[Glenn]

That Mk1 is a piece of history. There must have only been a handfull of them registered here in 79. The first one brought in by MDL was in 79 but wasn't registered until 87 so has an 87 D plate. It's rotting away somewhere in south Dublin

 

[Robbie]

A pretty special motor indeed

 

[Dubturbo]

.......slap a 20VT in it, best remedy for 5 door mk2s

 

[Davec]

Nah....still too many doors
