do i keep the coupe??- apparently not!

1987 D
I bought this a while ago with the intention of building it up, but now I plan on restoring one of the GTI Engineering GT's

It was originally intended to be a track car, but I could easily have found parts with my friends in the States and Europe. its registered in the UK and was originally from Ireland. I dont have the rear windows, but I do have the roof rubbers. I think I have a spare wings and a bonnet at mums house too

The possabilities are endless really as I also have a load of syncro spares too

Do I sell or do i indulge again??

My main car is posted in the new members section

I also have a 16v Jetta destined for the track- how many cars does one man need?? I not really fussed about selling it but if the right offer was on the table, then who knows........

Here is my first obsession - non Jetta but a Golf

there is more and more of these popping up all over the place now, build it into a track car and me and you can have a coupe race!!








p.s. if you do want a set of rear windows, mine will be plastic soon so I'll have a spare set.

i think more people are making the effort to get these from europe. My ultimate would be a coupe syncro

oooo on the windows! Defo interested!

re2 keep it alllll!
you know that is gunna be a massive achievement to build it.
you'll get high rep in built not bought

if you have a look at my golf, you will see why i cant build them all

hehe

I think if the shell is solid then keep it (as much as I want to transplant mine into a coupe). Lets face it, is prob less work to put it back together than sorting a complete car.

The only part of mine that hasn't been removed at some point is the fuel tank!

its currently sat on my girlfriends dads farm safely tucked up in the dry so its not in anyones way

ive decided that if i was offered £300, Id sell it, but other than that I may as well keep it. I may end up using all the 16v parts and transplanting them at a later date- who knows!!! Too many ideas and not enough garages!

keep it and make it amazing!!

as it should be!!

its a hard decision- my first love is my Golf syncro and after the 8 years Ive been building it, I should crack on really. If this goes then Ill defo do one in the future anyway, but no one has offered me what I want so its not going anywhere. It would be sitting about until the syncro and the T were finished, but as Ive said, its safely tucked away and isnt costing me a thing for storage, so I aint in any rush. maybe £300 is too cheap for something this rare but we shall see

; )

looks like the coupe has a new owner. I was offered the asking and paypalled a deposit, so im down to 4 cars now

4!!!!!!!! what the hell- thats still wrong- but you only live once and the $ will go straight into the 16v Jetta GTI

sounds good, i was just about to post you should put the syncro into the coupe would be awesome lol

still hopefully someone will make something really good of the shell

that was my plan from the start- id even looked at a jetta syncro a few weeks back, but it wasnt as good as i thought. The money has come in suoer useful now as ive just found out that one of my best mates is getting married and im off to the wedding now - in OZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh yeah!!!!!!!!!
