Hi all,
As my post count will show I am new to this forum and actually to Volkswagen and golf ownership. So hello.
I bought an old Mk3 at the auctions on Friday last week and picked it up yesterday afternoon and it was a real mess.
Anyway a good wash, 1 coat of Auto-Glym Paint Renovator, 1 coat of AG super resin polish, 1 coat of AG Extra Gloss Protection and all the black bits done in AG bumper care later and it looks a lot better.
Don't know much about Vdubs though. This one is a 1.8 Cabriolet in kind of light jade greenish.
95k with a fully stamped up book and MOT and Tax until end of October.
The hood is all good and doesn't appear to have any rips, tears or anything. In fact I would say the car is totally original..........including the sony cd head unit, oh except the wheels which are aftermarket Ronal R20 wheels and need a bit of attention, well the front two do.
So is there anything I need to know about the car? What are good (cheap) mods to make to the car.
Oh and how much should it be worth? In other words was it the bargain I think it was?
It was only for getting the kids around as the wife has the car for work and I drive a bike normally, but I am off with the kids quite a bit this year, so need another car, but after driving it, it feels solid and nice to drive. I'm kicking myself I didn't get a Gti a few years back when I was offered one.
Any advice appreciated.
