Most of it is, however the worst bit is at the rear and the bonnet front lip (see below) so I'm after a replacement boot.  Just needs a few things doing to get it through the MOT inluding a full exhaust, horn, brakes (will be using it as a track car so am uprating these anyway).  Can't complain for the price I paid for it.  Interior is near mint.

Yeah I can see what you mean... however like you say "get what you pay for" I did hear that later GTi models didnt suffer as much from rust due to a different body treatment, I would find a breaking later mk2 gti to take the boot off it, mine has a few rust bits under the bonnet near the front but I think I will scrape these off and then treat it.

Still wondering the best way to clean the engine bay up... At Ed38 saw alot of chromed up engine bays that looked sweet and really want to sort myself out with a 2.0 bottom end transplant.

16v big bumpers never came in silver & very rarely will you see a genuine big bumper silver 8v.

 :cool:

Mine was originally a small bumper, wish the previous owner had left it that way! Yours'll look nice when those bits are sorted.

Slammed mk2 on here had a genuine big bumper 8 valve - he sold it to me and i sold it on  - biggest mistake in my life when it comes to golfs as it was a mint motor and once it had the rms on there looked awesome. Have'nt seen one since.
