So apart from the colour i guess no one knows it?

I found it for sale back in 2010 on another forum. Needs plenty of work but was cheap enough.

Agreed the colour is a bit different  :undecided:

Nothing wrong with the colour, Ive been looking for a bonnet for mine on ebay. Its quite rare :cool:

 It looks cosmetically in good condition, what work needs to be done, mechanical?

Manifold gasket, idle issues, new windscreen (chip that might turn into a crack), blister around door handle, split in body just above exhaust. Interior is tidy. Engine was rebuilt not long ago. All fixable by myself apart from the screen.

I can weld in new panels/repair sections no problem so happy with it.

I've got 2 mk3's so glad to finally own a proper gti. Its going in the garage saturday and i've got a week off work so will strip and access whats required.

Looking forward to getting it sweet.   :smiley:

Screen is really easy to change. It's not bonded. I'm sure there would be a guide on here somewhere.
