Would love to have the time and knowledge to do a full build / resto on one but with a young family, small business and 3 cars and a truck already don’t have the time ( or the inclination to be honest !)
I've think you've got a very realistic price in mind for what you're after. Hopefully, you'll find a good one.
Interesting thing about type19 cars, yes they're probably looking for around 50k per resto, but they're completely booked up for months in advance, so there are people with money AND taste out there!
I'd love to do that for a living, restoring mk2s to the highest possible standard.
No 100% if I had the money I’d go to them for a complete build , would be absolutely amazing to have what would be a ‘new’ mk2 !
That’s good to know I should be able to find a good one at my price point .
Yeah that’s what’s odd isn’t it . Not seen a’type19’ for sale , but looking at their website and know roughly what this sort of stuff costs to do nicely . They must be in the region of 30-50k!!
Where as I’ve seen some very high quality 20vt builds come up for 10-15k . So I’m hoping I can get one at around that sort of price point . Any more than that just doesn’t make sense to me .
My name is Josh and I’m going to start looking soon for a mint mk2 golf gti . I’m after something that’s up to show quality standards to keep for use on a sunny day and just admire to be honest !! Had a few vw’s over the years , from polo g40 , mk5 Pirelli edition to a T6 transporter ( which we still have and love ) Always loved the mk2 and want to enjoy one with my young sons and wife on those spring / summer days
If anyone is thinking of selling their pride and joy please get in touch .
My ideal spec would be a full restored / sprayed 20vt / quaife lsd / decent coilovers /BBS etc ect … you get the idea
Willing to pay the right price for the right car but needs to be special.
