Description:

Brief Spec (all new work mentioned done in last 3 years) -

Absolute folder full of old VW bills, MOTS, tax discs, other bills etc from last 24 years. Previous owners were part of Thames Valley VW Club.

Original PDI and Customer Handover books and paperwork included.
First ever MOT cert included and most others since.

Febi front top mounts,

New pair of FEBI front wishbones and bushes.
New Febi ARB bushes.
New upper and lower OMP strut braces - tightens front end up.
4-1 Hot Tuning s/steel manifold - full wrapped in heat tape.
New mild steel full Jetex exhaust system (picked this as looks nice, but sounds more sensible).
New Cambelt, aux belt, Quantum oil and OEM filters - fuel, air and oil.
Rebuilt top end with new valve stem seals and piston rings (got old ones to prove - no smoke at all).
Very good condition 15" Rivage Le Castellet alloys with new Toyo TR1 Proxes on all 4 (still got chalk lines on them).
New crosshair single headlights.
One piece de-badged grill.
Grill spoiler.

Kenwood front components built into original housing with seperate tweeters.
New Bosch Silver battery.
S/steel upper rad brackets
Goodridge braided hoses all round.
New rear brake lines
New front calipers last year.
New EBC Green Stuff pads last year.
New EBC slotted discs last.
Clear/red rear lenses to rear.
Solid chassis - no rust below at all.
Solid body -no rust apart from small bit (see below).
Original Space Saver Wheel.
Original VW Tool Kit.
Full set of new McGuard locking wheel nuts.

Bits to improve-
Paintwork good, but has a few scratches and marks. Not by me, but left as it - means I can use it without being too precious over it.
One small bit of rust below windscreen. Will fix easily enough. Not structural, just needs rubbing down, fill and paint.
Few small bubbles on leading edge of bonnet from stone chips. Not come through and not really stick-out noticeable.
Odd scuff mark on bumpers etc.

Possilbly making it sound worse than it is, but trying to be honest. It didn't put me off buying it, as I say, it means it can be used daily for shopping etc without worry (although i only use it in the summer). It's left on a spare set of VW Alloys wheels over the winter, so no flat spots occur on tyres. I'll include this spare set for free. Tread is good on these too.Stacks of history and old mots from last 15 years. Had full dealer history for quite a while.
