no no no I can not afford it. Unless someone buys my Rikens...... ;)

Nah, even then I can not afford it. I need to buy a daily driver, going to go for a Seat Ibiza GTI... mmmmm 2E loving

Is it running kjet Dom?

That is an awesome buy.

[Jarred]

I'd be interested to know what the 1K or "some mechanical" repairs are....

obviously it has some rust too. I wonder how bad,.

[static1800]

That is my concern too Jarred, I'm going to give him a call this morning.

At the least it will make a great parts car, depends how bad the rust is.

[WABIT]

yeah runs k-jet, all import mk2 gear

Just spoke with him, he is sending me through some more pics.

The car actually broke down on him yesterday, he thinks it's the fuel pump gone.

Has a bit of a list for roadworthy, nothing to major though just normal wear and tear items. Has rust around the gutters and around the front windscreen, so the pillers could be stuffed.

It's one of my mate's cars. He tried to sell it to me for $3K a couple of months back. I checked out the rust under the windscreen and agree that it could extend up into the pillars - it's not in the centre of the windscreen, but off to the side. I guess you'll know when you pull the windscreen out! I've also seen the roadworthy and nothing too bad on there - a list of small things like cracked CV boots, nothing huge except the unknown extent of the rust... cosmetic surface spots on the roof too but a straight car, would look awesome re-sprayed. Bonus is it seems to have all its little bits (ie. luggage rack at the back, that rack under the dash, vents etc)... VG

Does a car sold in Vic have to have a passed roadworthy cert? even if it's going interstate and means nothing?

[WABIT]

thats correct, even if it passes in vic, if it gets rego'd interstate the vix rwc is useless

the engine code is PL too, so american spec small port motor

NOPE You can get a permit from Vic roadrs to drive to NSW or anywhere else for $50. I got a week long one and drove a car back with no plates :) No inspection needed.

rofl, just another thing the government makes money on.

[Jarred]

I don't know that I'd be $50. I payed $50 for an Unreg'd Vehicle Permit for 14 days. I doubt a one or two day UVP would be that much. Unless it's you're driving it interstate?!? :confused:

[GoLfMan]

holy flying crap, wish I had $1k! :eek:

He is driving it interstate, that was the point of the question. :duh:

[Jarred]

I was questioning the cost. I was saying my UVP was 50 bucks for 2 weeks. he wouldn't need one for two weeks, hence I was wondering why you seemed to think it would be that much.

yes, obviously he'd be driving it interstate, I'm not an idiot...:javacomputer:

[Water Boy]

Didnt this car used to belong to MK2GTI at one stage?

[Golf Loon]

Its a Mk1. I reckon trying to do 1000ks in 2 days in an untested vehicle is a recipie for disaster. I`d get a 2 week permit to cover myself against breakdowns and disasters.

When I researched it a 2 day one was about $40 and a 2 week one was $50.
