    FS 1988 Mk2 16V GTI "Executive Edition" - mini project car

    For Sale 1988 Mk2 GTI Executive Edition (5 door)
    White
    240k kms

    So many years ago, and like many, I had this dream of getting this car done up.
    Purchased it from a gentleman called Beau who at the time was with Camden GTI.
    Whilst it had a very ordinary paint job and interior, Beau had the 16V revving HARD!
    I was offered $8k for it at the time from someone on here a few days after buying it.

    Then enter Jmac who tweaked it even more
    - tweaked the Kjet (Jmac is the kjet doctor)
    - KW sports suspension 40mm drop
    - full Jetex stainless exhaust
    - new brakes and wheel bearings all around
    - cam and timing belts
    - fuel pump and accumulator

    Threw it on the dyno and it pretty much produced the factory spec power after all these years!!! I'll have to dig up the report somewhere in my files.

    Then enter having two young kids... and your priorities change. Whilst I would love to finish this mini project off, I simply don't have the time.

    So, it's time to let this one go to a good home and finish what I started. If you want it 100% it would need a full paint job (couple of rust spots), new interior and seats, new door handles, the speedo jitters to about 40kmph, and the fuel indicator is not working (I have spare fuel float ready to install), and I never got the chance to repair the front right fender which needs panelbeater.
    The a/c was removed by the previous owner.

    I will also come with the following which I purchased for it
    - 14" original snowflake rims (all straight but needs a refurb or repaint)
    - new GTI badges for front and rear
    - new original 16V keys

    Rego is current for 6 mths.

    I will sell it in a where is, as is condition. It's time for me to move on...

    Photos to come soon.

    $2,500 firm

    I've just written off my white MK2 but if I showed up with yours my wife would have me castrated, hung and skin peeled off and made into a rug.

    Then she'd turn nasty.

    I'm sure you can do something about your wife, Paul. Go for it, I know you want it

    Want it more than life itself mate but I have to draw the line somewhere.

    Plus I've still got the MK1 for my Golf fix.

    Hi all,
    Sorry I got caught having to travel for work, so I'm not around this weekend.
    I'll be back in town mid week and will get some photos up.
    Probably underestimated the level of interest this would generate as well...
    I will endeavour to allocate a time next Sat or Sun for all those that would like to check it out.
    Thanks.
