Are you selling it ? if you are then this is wrong section mate

Welcome to the forum, we're keen to see your car.

[Tim]

man if someone gives this guy a hard time for posting in the wrong section again im gonna scream!

He doesnt have access to the classifieds because of the low post count. This is why that rule blows goats. Because he has something very desirable that we all want to hear about and threads are being locked and he is getting told off.

So anyways before u get pissed off and just give up
We want pics/price/etc! ASAP!
Is it a 3 door?

[abreut]

Great username :D Keen for pics too.

[Bora Sport]

Is he for real or just some nut bag trying to have a lend?

[ascrotum]

hey hey. nut bags here :)
soz folks. i dunno what's what around here. i'll learn.
and yeah, i'll sort some pics in the light of day.

fwiw, i just bought an xr5t (only cos there's no good 3 door mk5s around).
so now i have to work out whether someone wants this more than me?
else, i'm taking it to the track: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SFCcUSbdtzI
but am interested in any advice people wanna throw.

spec:
1984 golf gti mk2 16v 3 door (uk import)
125k miles (odo stopped at xmas)
oak green (needs full respray)
zender body kit (minus nose thanks to best mate doing a u-turn in a tight v-shaped fitzroy coblestone street)
zender 15" wheels (195-50-15) (bizarely, there were 5 zender rims until girlfriend hit pothole on her way to a bloody daylseford hen's day spa)
standard black/green recaros (need restore)

history:
90% driven in melbourne. occassional trips to otways. twice up to the gold coast and back.
never tracked (yet).
all original, no mods (other than the zender stuff), no bingles.

i think i'm the 3rd or 4th (proud) owner.
was garaged until i went o/s 5 years ago, when it moved to warranwood - hence current need for respray
bought off my godmother in 2000 (godfather had 1973 porsche 911e)
godparents got it in late 80s, trading in a mk1 gti with the importer (at about 25k miles)
got the first owner certificate from uk

servicing:
- currently with volks affair (who are ace!): just replaced starter, and oil & water temperature sensors
- previously volkswagen guys in clifton hill (closed)
- before that toni's prestige motors in south melbourne
- and log book before that

[GoLfMan]

ahhh I saw this!

I was the bloke who put the note on your windshield mate ;)

[STOIE]

Yeah this does sound interesting, but what sort of money are we looking at?

[velly_16v_cab]

welcome along, why does a 16v come up forsale when i am skint!!!!!!!
I would love to see photos of this car....good luck with selling it fella:banana:

[Jarred]

every one wants a mk 2 2 door 16V! esp in oak green! :D

(including me!)

[richo]

pics please :cool:

[abreut]

I thought the 16v was first brought out in 1986

[ausgolfer]

I thought the 16v was first brought out in 1986

Correct. Either has been upgraded or is registered as the wrong year model.

[twin eng, twin turbs]

Im sure a fellow enthusiast on here will pay good money for your 16v, highly sort after and regarded... I would! But i have to many cars already :rolleyes:

[ascrotum]

Nope. It's definitely a mk2 16 valve '84. Pretty darn rare, from what I can gather. Was a private import from the UK. Even the VW Australia history brochure that I got when the mk6 came out says they don't exist.

Anyway, here's some pics:

I don't wanna waste people's (and my) time checking the car out if it's not worth it. Be great if people could let me know what they think something like this is worth, so I can work out if I can be bothered selling it?

Cheers

[Golf Loon]

Looks like an early car with a 16v put in later. Show us an engine bay pic.
Needs a paintjob and if I was doing that, I would take the bodykit off and paint it all.
In that condition, as a runner, I would value it at maybe $5-6k.

[h100vw]

No 16 Valvers that old from the factory. There's a couple of things strike me about it. The kit looks genuine, seen a few of them in the UK. Often on well spec'd 86 16Vs with leather.

The colour is Lhasa Green I reckon. Oak green came out on the MK2 Campaigns late 87, just as the big doors came out. They had Rainbow trim as well.

There's no bee sting aerial on the roof, all 16Vs had them and a hole in the wing too, which had a proper VW bung in it.

As Matt says an early car with a replacement engine.

[Water Boy]

Ok the Mk2 was owned by a bloke called Brian Clearihan who ran an adevertising company in Melbourne.

Its a 1984 Model delivered in Germany to an Aussie tourist as an 8v. Once bought back to Oz it had put in the 16v to replace the tired 8v.

Bilstein shocks, 15x7 Zender wheels, has a genuine GTI interior, fitted with the Zender body kit late '89 ealry 90's from Carshine and was sprayed in Richmond. For the early 90's the car was a big hit in the Melbourne car scene.

Even driven and featured in many mags by famous and genuine car reporter David Morley.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

I should have bought this car the time I saw it at Ringwood Train station parked into a tree. :emo_baghead:

[ascrotum]

nice background water boy!
i'll sort out an engine bay pic shortly.
anyone want to know anything else?

[velly_16v_cab]

so what sort of money are you looking for????

[ascrotum]

I guess I'd consider offers above $6k. Any less, and it's not worth anyone's time.

[GoLfMan]

DREAMING for the condition it is in!!!

If it was a genuine 16v maybe. But it's not.

[ascrotum]

Ok, well what do you think it's worth then?

[Golf Loon]

DREAMING for the condition it is in!!!

If it was a genuine 16v maybe. But it's not.

Bit harsh mate. Its still a 2 door in Australia, with a running 16v.

Its still a GTI. Good base for a resto project.

This always happens when people put expressions of interest instead of just putting it up at a realistic price. No one is gonna jump in with a high offer, better to just price it realistically for what you will sell it for.

[jayjay]

i would honestly value this at about $5000 due to a) the rarity of the shell, and b) all the goodies associated with 16v motors, but c) the condition of the exterior

it would need a body tear down though i think. i had similar amounts of clearcoat peelage.

defs agree with matt that this is an awesome resto project.

does it have all the running gear of the 16v? ie 256mm brakes, bigger brake booster/MC.

also what injection system/engine management?

good luck with the sale. these are getting scarcer by the week.

[moogeybup]

If it helps...There is a 1992 GTi - Black 5 door - 167klm on carsales - at a dealer for $6k - With books - car looks to be in pretty good nick.

I agree - better you put a price on it you will be happy with and let the market decide.

Having said that - yours is a neat looking car - like the body kit

[ascrotum]

I still haven't found any time to do anything with it. Seems a shame for it to just be sitting about. I'd accept an offer of $4,000 if anyone is interested?

[Jarred]

that's a pretty good price, should definately get some more interest at that price.

I'd love to take this on, but unfortunately, it's a bit beyond my price bracket.

[velly_16v_cab]

a fair price, shame i am skint :(

[GoLfMan]

much more realistic price, it'll surely get snapped up now!

p.s Whats with all the 2 door mk2's for sale now!!! :O

[ascrotum]

Where do you guys think is the best place to advertise it? Carsales?

[Lorenz]

For Sale section is a good start!

[ascrotum]

yeah, i tried that, but that section of the forum says that i can't post to it :(

[walshydub]

yeah, i tried that, but that section of the forum says that i can't post to it :(

You can now, you need 10 posts before you can post it in the classifieds section.
Also try ebay, carsales, gumtree, trading post etc

Do you have any other details or paperwork on this? Im trying to work out how many 1984 GTi's there are. Mine was first registered July 84!

[ascrotum]

I have the original servicing manual & service logbook. What details are you looking for?

[ozgti]

First registered or built. I can't remember if mine is June or July Rego... But ours would have to be one of the earlier MK2 GTis made.

[ascrotum]

Certificate of origin: 30/5/84
First reg: 1/6/84
British reg: a623 vhn
Exported from UK: 31/5/85 (i think?)

VW type: 192334
Chassis number: 19ew589113

Engine number: evo14703 (original)
Engine number: kr054472 (16v)

And there's a bunch of letters & numbers that I can't really make sense of...
Type: wuw zzz 19 (- or z ?) ew 589 113
Engine code letters (gearbox code): 192 334

[ozgti]

Looks like yours could be older than mine! Both 84 rego/build!

[ascrotum]

I've put it up in the For Sale section, with some photos and stuff:
