Yes you read that correctly. This is a mk1 with a 1.9 TDI engine.
Mk1 golf 1977 GLS 2dr
Miami Blue paint. Paint is ok in places but has a few patches of surface rust
Rust repaired (welded, not bogged) around windscreen and has been sprayed with a darker blue to seal it.
1.9 1Z Turbocharged direct injection engine
Modified mechanical injector pump from AAZ engine
k04-22 turbo - brand new with engine build
16v alternator bracket with brand new mk3 alternator.
large front mounted intercooler with 2" stainless piping
Full custom 2.5" exhaust with washable diesel catalytic converter
5spd manual diesel gearbox (long ratio)
Deleted EGR
Cordoba airbox
New timing belt & head gasket installed with conversion.
Suspension
Coilovers all round (hot-tuning equivalent)
New tie rods and wishbone bushes recently
front lower chassis brace
front and rear sway bars are available but not on car at the moment
Wheels
14 inch vw/audi Ronals. Well worn but could be restored
Brand New Pirelli P6 front tyres (200k's on them)
Old worn tyres on the back
Brakes
front: mk1 gti ventilated
rear: mk3 drums, brand new cylinders
SEAT cordoba booster
Blue GLS spec interior (mostly original)
UNCRACKED reskinned dash
Sealed front quarter windows (no leaks or silicon!)
parcel shelf with no speaker holes
new gas strut on rear hatch
Rear seats in great condition, but front seats are worn in places
boost and oil pressure guages (oil pressure is not connected yet)
speedo works but tacho is not connected yet (alternator has W terminal so can be done with some electronics work)
This is a great car. In my opinion the TDI motor is an ideal setup for a mk1 golf that gets driven regularly. The conversion was done slowly over many months by me and another diesel-vw-loving mechanical engineer. No shortcuts taken to get it done properly.
I get 4.5 L/100k's on the open road, and 5.5 around town (even when driving like I stole it).
The suspension is very hard, but could be fixed by winding up the coilovers or putting in standard struts, or getting softer springs for the coilovers.
I have done about 15000 clicks since I installed the motor, and it still starts first time every time and runs smoothly.
Car has 7 months rego (until 22 may)
Be quick to ensure you end up with this great unique car..
PRICE: $5500 Negotiable
