Title: Got another mk3 for a while - now with pics
Post by: billy_vw on 19 May 2011, 22:46

Ive been looking for a cheap motor for a few weeks to tow my camping trailor.

Ended up picking up a 97/P 8v GTi 3 door tonight fitted with a tow bar

Very tidy Silver with 5 months mot & a bit of tax

So far the only fault is a brake light out which i will fix 2moro

But will pop my head here if help is required in the future

 :smiley:

Unusual use for a gti but best of luck with it

don't think its that unusual, see a few about with tow bars, and mine used to as well.

My 5dr Valver had  a dealer fitted towbar from new, needless to say the bloody thing was ripped off within next to no time of owning the vehicle.

Did not want to put a tow bar on my Bora, so had to find something VW with a towbar already fitted.

I know an 8v mk3 boat aint fast, but still a toy when im not towing too  :evil:

If only this question had been asked a little while ago, I scrapped the one off mine and it weighed a tonne.
