New to the dub scene, so is this a good deal?
« on: 10 May 2008, 12:35 »
Been interested in Dubs for a while now but have decided to bite the bulit and buy my first project Golf for the summer. Found a car which is local and going to look at it this week. Its a 1987 Mk2 GTI 16v, ive seen pictures of it and the bodywork looks imaculate in a metalic blue, all totally standard, 155,000 on the clock and 12 months mot & tax. The guy wants £800 for it and says its as low as he will go, from your experiance is this a good price and what do you think of the car?

Thanks for the response, going to look at it possibly tomorrow, and will have it by the end of the week. Will keep you updated and get a few good pictures up. Thanks again

Just remember that colour is pretty much impossible to find any body parts for  :wink:

Looks nice mate, go for it. Make sure you get to go for a good long test drive before handing the cash over though  :smiley:

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

Just been to look at it, and put down a deposit and its going to be outside my house midweek! Bodywork is pretty mint for a 21 year old car with only one small dent on the drivers-side door and an inch square bit of rust under the rear window seal, will get that sorted right away. Other jobs that need to be done include: New fuel pipes, Rocker cover gasket, broken speedo, and driveshaft seals. After these things are done i will set about making it look the part, at the moment thinking 15inch deepdish wheels, lowered (40 max) and a few engine tweeks. Thanks for the input guys  :nerd:
