I have bought it due to the spec with the thought process being mod it in a Restomod Stylee.
My first plan was modern show style interior (leather/alcantara with modern seats and possibly a rear cage) colour coding, 17/18” wheels etc. That all changed when I went to view it. A previous owner really had put in a lot of time and money as you will see with the spec. However the period parts on it are too good to mess with..... it would almost be sacrilege in my eyes.
Current spec -
1983 GTI
1.8kr conversion
280mm front brakes
Rear disc conversion
Factory unpainted body kit
Factory Single wiper shell
Factory single jet bonnet
Front overfenders with working washer jets
Zender rear spoiler
4 branch manifold with Custom S/S exhaust
Eibach ARBs
Eibach springs and Bilstiens (not 100% due to GMax receipt amongst the receipt file but not checked)
Polybushed.
Currently it is has just stopped running (electrical) but I hope to get to the bottom of this very soon to get it on a ramp and giving it a proper once over.
Current initial to do list is -
Underside of the bonnet needs some descaling and possible future proof repairs
Find out exactly what I have and what other work is required
Go through all of the work that has been done previously to check the quality and see if any improvements are required
Try and rectify the sunroof that slides but won’t tilt.
Wheel swapped for something nice but retro
Replace speakers and head unit

If anyone knows this car or have any photos please get in touch.
I’d love to know more.
