Not sure if anyone is interested but found this nice miles (79k) and looks really clean / original.

Looks really good, the only immediate change i can see is the red pinstriping on the door trims.
Did annis come with the VR6 front splitters fitted as standard?

Yep :afro:
-
still think its a bit pricey, even for a good condition one with low milage. :undecided:

agree, altho im no annie fan as i hate the interior, Blu has a nice red one tho, he put recaro cloths in his with the red recaro stitching, thats how they should have come from the factory IMO
-
Defo, Recaro's would have been a much better choice.
-
I know that it is not cheap but being a dealer they will haggle.
-
I reckon someone could get that for around £1900.

I have a period Anni brochure at home and it has pinstriping on the doors in the pictures.
Hence I have pinstriping on my Anni :cool:
Also I think every mk3 Gti should have had a loud interior. It is after all a hot hatch bearing the gti badge which VW made famous by having a fast, fun and loud version of the Golf. Either that or they should have called the mk3 something other than Gti...

I think the 2.0 8v is called the 'Sport' Version in other countries, rather than a GTI
Sorry I got confused with the colour concept only with the 8v. :embarassed:
-
Mines nicer than that, plus a 3 door and a 16V........ Its also a load cheaper

Sweet, glws :smiley:

Looks tidy enough but more like £1500 in my eyes being a 4 door dont help it either..
-
I think mk3s look ok in 3 or 5 doors tbh, some cars cant pull off looking nice and being a 5 door but golf's deffiniatly can :) look at kells' his is a 5 door and one of the nicest mk3s around :)
-
I agree Kells is one of the nicest 4 doors about but it has been done to a high standard but in standard form 4 doors just dont appeal to me not saying I dislike them just prefer 3 door golfs :wink:
-
Bet it has bent jacking points which are now rusty as fook, also rotten floor bungs.
Not seen a mint Mk3 in years.
Reckon Kells has the only one................

My 1996 5dr was fine around the jacking points and floor bungs :smiley:

My 16v is mint, only 40k and spent its life in a garage. :grin:
In my eyes the anni on ebay is not worth the price being a 8v 5dr.......

MORE DOORS FOREVER! :grin:

Hi New member here,
I have a 3 door 8v anniversary am looking to get rid of, 112,00 miles, ive had it for 10 years and its served me well, needs a bit of work done to it mind you, reverse idles gubbed, 1 damaged foglight and couple of minor interier electrics dont work i.e back window de-mister.
was gonna scrap it but seems a waste, what you all think is best way to get rid, sell for parts or somthing?
cheers
Kenrik

Have you got any pictures?

There are some with no rust but these are few and far between, yours was a nice example along with few others on this site.
My point is that I have seen so many adds for mint Mk3's and been very dissapointed when ive had a good look.
IMO they aint mint untill you take all the plastic off and have a look. :smiley:

cheers for complimens ;-)
agree - removal of plastics is a must - i guess mine was just a lucky find. and iv done my best to keep it well since iv had it..
the 16v green one i had, was a good shell, however i did notice some rust on the bungs on the underside, one of which looked like it would need attention soon. iv noticed with the later cars theirs a alot less protection to what their is on early cars. i mean mine is full of the wax sealer stuff, bens has non of this on his 96 car
-
I think early ones do tend to stand up quite well, ive seen more J/K/L plates with (CL's etc) very little in the way of rust.
jacking points are a real weakness, once crushed they do rust through really quickly, spreading right up the sills.
Most tyre fitters jack on the sills and not on the correct jacking points Kwik fit especialy so.
its all about how they are looked after, and I recon the earlier ones got better treatment through the finacial troubles in the early 90's + a lot more wax in the factory.
VW relied on galvanising to much on the last ones, which if damaged is a choclate fire gaurd

Spot on :afro: early ones do seem better.

Agree
it does not get any better for the new Vws, they just dont build them how they used to, i drive a brand new MK6 GTD a lot and it just does not feel like a golf. i cant get to love it at all.
What i mean is - will these cars last as long as the old golfs. They make these cars to cost these days, back when the MK1, 2 and early 3 were in production they were over engineered.. good for us, bad for making lots of ££££ for VW
New Mk6 does not even have paint in the boot etc, its just primer!!! imagine how much money this saves VW in paint. what else do they cut corners with :lipsrsealed:
-
Well look at how many rusty mk5s there are already. This is late 90s ford levels of rot!
Theres very little underseal on the mk6 too, people are actually recommending getting extra added its that sparse!
-
Stupid really. Have a 1997 GTi now and my 96 is deffo a more solid shell and host no rust at all.
Proper weird actually makes me wonder if my 1.6 shell was made and left for a while. Has all the protection my '92 had the 97' doesn't.

I'd guess that the difference between shells produced in 96 & 97 is minimal, the difference in your case is that the 1.6 won't have had the gti plastic trim acting as a water trap for the last 15 years :wink:
-
Ahh b*llocks they all rust like crap.
And ive seen my fair share......
-
My annies up for sale and also it's cheaper :wink:
