Had a call off 'Scrappy Jim', the guy who takes my shells saying 'got a gti if your interested. Rough as and a none runner'. I was expecting a 306 or 206 so was chuffed to see a miami blue K plate 205 gti 1.6 when I turned up. It was dirty as hell and had been off the rd for just under 4 years! Agreed a very reasonable 'scrap value' and had it dropped off (with V5).
Body is showing its age and its done 198k, but I thought id get it running and go from there. Bit of fault finding led to a knackered fuel pump so that changed and with a fresh barrery and 4 year old fuel she fired and ran a treat today.
Needs:
MOT
valet
Passenger door
Door locks
oil pressure!!!
Comedy engine intake sorting
I have a 6 engine sitting in the garage and a spiky converted loom so may be a super quick and cheap 6 conversion. More likely though is it'll be mot'd and make a cool retro daily hack!
On another bright note, i've just brought an MI16 converted, caged, LSD'd 205 gti too...Hmmm
