Right sorry for the random qestions!
Mate of mine has offerd me a mk2 90 spec 16 valver.....its been sat on his aunts drive for the last 7-8 doing nothing what so ever!
Now my problem is if i do deside to take it, the keys are long gone lost? is it hard to replace them plus how easy is it to remove steering lock so i can tow it home?
Oh and before anyone asks i know VERY little untill i go and see it later tonight....she wants 100 quid for it surly worth that in parts?
Cheers very much all!
-
Pics please...prove your not a thief! :grin:
You can get new lock & keys sets from many places. Full set from GSF.
You will have to drill out the ignition barrel to free the lock.
iirc, you can have a look inside the door handles for a VW key code - take it to them and they should be able to give you a new set of keys - provided the handles and ignition barrel are original.
-
Ah i had no idea i could just go and get new keys for it, providing the code is in the door of course!
Haha dont worry im not a theif and there is a massive story behind this car but i will worry bout that depending on how it looks! Going about 6 half 6 tonight to have a look and take some pics im sure you lot can advice from there on!
-
Oh and that's spose to say 7-8 years sat.....so obviously i wont be trusting the cam belt etc haha
-
I personally wouldnt start if after that long without a service and new fuel as you will just run into problems..
-
I dare you to haggle and give her £50 for it. Those are the best deals :grin:
Bargain ftw! Also check the condition of the big bumpers and if they are original. Thats all that matters :tongue:
-
START IT START IT START IT!
-
have a good poke at sills and things, it may have sat rotting and be worth f**k all!
I would be trying to have it for free.
There are a lot of parts it will need to get it running (service items, brakes etc) plus the massive potential for lots more having been left for so long. Was it dry stored or left to the elements?
Really keen for pics tho- could be amazing!
-
pics please
-
Right just got back from a quick look! As normal not all the facts are rights lol it turns out its not a 90 spec its a Helios Blue 3 door on an E plate....Big bumpers all look genuine guessing not standard on the spec tho?......to be honest alot of rust the local kids has smashed two windows so alot of damp etc so really dont think it worth putting on the road but its clearly had a fair bit of money thrown at it!
Its got blue 10mm HT leads and the oil and water looks amazing and fresh lol altho all at the bottom of the engine now! And i cant start at the mo lack of keys lol Last time it ran was mid 2006 and ran out of MOT and never put back!
Oh and its got Red needle's on the dials? shows 160mph.....anything rare? or just me! there defo not painted on either lol
Any who iv taken loads of pics so you lot can see whats what! Just give me a chance to up load!
-
Oh and the steering lock has already be done so the wheel turns just fine.....and its got leccy windows?
-
run out model wont be a genuine run out on a E reg surely.. G reg onwards...
Pots pics up.. whats the price it might be worth putting on the road ??
-
How bad is the rust, might be worth saving but will be a lot of work.
-
Well the slam panel is just rust...bright orange lol sills look gone but i guess not totally shot, the kids of keyed down most of it, inside other than coverd in glass dont look to bad but like i said two windows are gone so im guessing damp now!
It's missing one leccy window switch, its got one 16v rear light one normal? random as you like!
Like i said anyway im just waiting for my mate to send me over the pics and you can see but think im just gunna strip it!
-
Right people here you go.....rust woop :shocked: anything worth having?

Have got more if wanted!
-
what a shame its in a state but you could salvage alot off that.
red clock needles
smoked front bumper indicators,
headlining if mint
16v hubs
engine/gearbox bits
dibs if its got electric mirrors :wink:
-
Mr B you parts whore! :grin:
-
Restore it it's not that bad that front panel is changed in 15 mins !!
-
Mirrors look manual sorry...headling is all black and looks mint....here's a few more for you......nice key marks down on side too!
leccy window motors and all worth money and the one switch thats still in?

that oil does look fresh, all the crud must have settled out into the sump!
-
Needs saving or breaking really.
Shame to see it in that state, I would guess it is a mess underneath.
-
Get her running, f**k how she looks its still a 16v gti. Just give it some sh!tty hand roller paint job if your that bothered :smiley:
-
Buy it and strip it...
When stripped you'll get £100 in scrap... But only offer the seller £50
IMO looks like too much money and time needed to put it back on the road... Use the profits to buy a good 'un...
-
Mr B you parts whore! :grin:
I would have stripped the thing by now. MK2's are held together with a hand full off 10mm, a few 17's and a few 13's :grin:
BREAK IT :evil:
-
sure theres some 16's thrown in the mix aswell :laugh: :laugh:

Missed 8mm & a few Screws....
-
I would love that car if i had more room.. use lot are so defeatists :grin: :grin:
-
And at the end of the day rust is lighter than carbon fibre :drool: :drool:
-
Ok well if I can get it to start I might take it but how am I spose to do that? The barrel ad steering lock have been taken apart already so it's pretty much just wires? Best and or easy way to turn it over?
-
Looking at the pictures I think starting it is the least of your problems...
If I'm not mistaken I think there is another way of starting it without a key... Maybe someone could pm you details...
Even with that it might not be that straight forward someone has been hacking the fusebox from the pics...
-
Have you actually had a good poke around underneath? I'm sure it has problems but it might not be that bad?
Easily worth the £100 in my opinion. Even if you break it it's better that some of it's parts keep another mk2 on the road than it just get weighed in.
-
no not yet, had a quick feel...feels like some rot on sills at least but i exspect no less, to be honest i can do alot of the work my self!
Right so here's what im thinking......Im gunna pick it up IF i can sort these things out?
-rear windows? easy to replace (3 door) bonded or what?
-Drag it home with mate the best plan? its in a right crappy lane propper narrow and bumpy!
-Starting it? Not too botherd but i really need to know this "way around"
Figured i just get it home then pull it apart to see how bad the rot is....if shocking will just strip it if not maybe resto?
-
Rear windows just push out. Piece of pish.
-
Plus im not over fussed the engine is shagged cos iv got a mate with a VR rotting in a field that needs a good home :D

Rear windows just push out. Piece of pish.
ideal thats one less thing to worry about!
-
If you've got the space then you can't really loose! You'll get your money back easily if you decide to move it on.
-
If you decide against it be a good sport and fire me the owners contact details. whereabouts in cornwall is it?
-
