Strippage!

Saw this 8v in the local scrappies the other day and it hadn`t been there long. Been formulating a plan to get down there with my mate asap and get what I can for it at knock down prices 

Scrappie bloke was very helpful and even lifted her up and over (was sat on top of a Corrado) so we could get our grubby mits on her. Apparently it had ended up on top of a roundabout which is a shame as it was only showing 82k on the clocks and looked all nice and original!

J658 UFS - If this car was yours then most of it is now in my garage - including a full near mint rainbow interior including door cards which I picked up for a paltry £30

Sad end to a nice Gti - Amen

I hope you grabbed the door handles. They are difficult to get hold of! Over here, anyway.

[Mk2George]

Haha yeah sure did mate, got everything I could to be fair. Wasnt sure whether to sell them with the door cards as a full interior tbh 

Or do you mean the exterior handles?

[Mr Blue]

ahh so thats where it ended

grab up those side mouldings. People always nick mine

They are on forums for £80+ but are only worth £30 in my books. Still worth having.

that rear bumper looks unharmed.  If it has mint texture (highly doubt it) then keep that too.

Also has the ''rare'' black trim piece on the inner boot lip bit. Ebay jobby. Again to me its worth fek all but people seem to pay stupid money for that.

Really? Hmm they are still on the car, I feel a another visit coming on

Exterior. I am always buying them from VW for ridiculous money as they are usually all gone from the scrapyards here. Once I noticed a couple of Morocans looking for door handles from MKII Golfs, then they dissapeared. When I got back to my car, my door handles were smashed to peices where someone had tried to wrench them off! Don't know if it was them or if it was just coincidence.

Some nice tips there Mr Blue, I`ll be sure to push a fiver under your door when Ive made some tasty profits 

Now that you mention it I could probably use that black boot trim on my old girl as its never been there and there are a fair few scratches.

We did try and get the heater blower motor too (mine only works on 3) but the scrappie took it away and said he was keeping it - cant argue as I had a massive pile of bits
