the car still needs a good set of coilovers and some wheels to get it looking really nice, as well as a good tidy up of the interior as some of the colours on the doorcards to seats etc don't match

send me a pm if you would like any more photos or info
Cheers, Dan

Dang that would make a nice ride for someone!

Just out of interest would you mind giving us the specs for that spare engine/gearbox if you would consider selling it separately?
Ie.. 16V or 8V
Working or needs work
Etc

& also a price range if you would consider :)
Cheers mate!

[Goon]

Looks sweet!

PM Sent!

might be just the excuse i need to head back to western australia!

out of interest does, anybody know how much it would cost to get this to NSW?

[roccodingo]

I would think at least a grand, maybe $1500..

[16v_kid]

I think I got one of my cars from WA for about $600-$800

[paiges]

Still for sale? Im keen

[Gipson]

yep still here.
Hi Byron not really looking at seperating it all, It's just a standard mk1 1.6 and a 4 speed gearbox if you're in real need for one though drop me a pm.
hey michael transportation to melbourne is $1200 last time I checked it out. They definitely don't miss you!

quarter vents and rubbers have been replaced for new fixed window items from VW.
most of the scrapers and both window guides are also new items.
rear arche spats are new. the car is also fitted with a radio from a mk3 for those that like to plug their ipods in :cool:

[dubmc]

so keen on this!...i would just throw all my gear into it

just not enough cash to get it over from wa :|

[gt_eye]

Hiya dubdan,
does it need any work done to it??
how's the engine and gearbox?

[Gipson]

Hi wraith, I would replace the tyres if you'd plan to stick with these wheels, other than that its just personal taste on what work needs doing to it.
the engine and gearbox are both fine for day to day driving. there is also a spare engine and a gearbox with the car if one packs up down the track. Drop me a Pm if you have any questions and would like to come and take a look, I thought it would have been snapped up at this price, the paint alone was $2200 without adding up any of the other parts on the car

I'm very surprised it hasn't gone yet too, looks like a really nice Mk1, perfect spec being 3dr and Swallowtail, and a good blank canvas for someone to take it to the next level. If only i was in the market for one, coilovers and RS' it would be awesome.

[Jace]

If this car was east coast it would definitely be gone by now! I foolishly contemplate buying it on my credit card and driving it a few thousand K's home!

Must. Resist.

[valgamesh]

Doesn't take that long Jace :P

Nice looking car, good luck with the sale

[BrianS]

will try to find out how much it would be to get to SA.
wonder if it would be ok for the drive back..... mmmmmm
