sunroff slide only
had a new gearbox thats only done 60k

what, 900 even on a b reg?

its in pretty good condition, solid as hell boot floor engine bay and underneath like. been re-sprayed by a previous owner not too long ago.

might be worth an ebay or auto trader, giv me some money to buy a mk3 gti or something

Personal opinion but Id keep it for a summer show like inters and try and sell it there. Think it would be worth hanging on just a little bit more.

maybe, have a doot painted for it so its all clean as thats the only bad bit on the whole of the bodywork, even with a dint in the door still shines like hell.

just fancy something newer really

Well just goes to show that newer doesnt mean better. Sounds like you've had more problems than me and mines 20 years old. But then I am a lady driver :o

I just think that the older the v dubs get they seem to keep a value simply for their 'cult' status. Thats why I said selling at a show would maybe show some rewards.

Sounds like maybe you just got unlucky with yours. Is the problem sorted now or 'wait and see'?

vixter, maybe your right, clean it, polish it and see if i can flog it at show for the right money. i dont want mega coin for it after all, its a b reg car, but i still think its worth a few hundred
