Cos it's this











Golf Gti Sportline Cabrio, 1993, 91k

Many thanks to Nonads for taking a look to confirm it was worth my time viewing.

It came with the BBS RM's fitted with stretched tyres plus a set of std BBS RA's. The RM's are going, should get good money back for them. The RA's need a refurb as two are black and two silver. I've taken a fancy to some fifteen52 snowflakes as well!

Mechanically it needs a few bits doing, the rocker cover leaks, the gearchange is like stirring pudding and the clutch needs adjusting.

I absolutely love it though, there's nothing like a bit of open top motoring

Looks nice and the right time of year to buy I guess.

First VAG car?

First VAG car I've actually had on the road, had two cabbies and a Mk1 1.3 before.

The roof is very good, a little bit of stitching has come undone but otherwise perfect.

Its a lovely car no doubt, you can see why the gearshift and clutch put me off bidding him on it thou eh Paul?

TBF it drove like a bag of $hite, the clutch was right at the top of the pedal, the steering was so fookin' heavy and the gearlever was like a pudding stirrer. I've sorted the clutch out, was only a simple cable adjustment, Ive ordered a rose jointed gear linkage and I put the std BBS RA's on. It drives much better already. Next up will be a refurb of the std RA's as two are silver & two are black/silver. I will also polybush it throughout, new lower arms/ball joints etc.

I also fancy a new set of wheels, I phoned up about these today, hopefully be in stock this week, Fifteen52 Snowflakes, a modern larger copy of an original VW wheel -



Ive been out today with the top down and am lovin' it! It's so different from driving an RS about!

very nice golf paul

one of the guys at my work has a mk1 golf gti
absolute classic motoring !

[ianFRST]

quite like that

hope your VAG ownership lasted longer than mine, 5 weeks a nice mint modified mk4 golf gti, i absolutely hated it

Certainly isn't what I'd expect...quite a change!

I remember seeing a lad building up a 20V 1.8T Mk1 hardtop Golf Cabriolet in about 2004, when I was messing around with the TDi engine in my ZT. He was telling me only about ten hardtops were made...not sure if that's true? Either way, you should definitely install a 400bhp lump Pole

NICE. Always wanted one of these. Looks good on the rims too. My total VAG ownership was seven days - I bought a Mk2 Golf Auto a couple of years ago, and the very next day the auto box shat itself. Wasn't impressed. But I keep thinking I want to redress the balance with a Golf cabbie like this one. Nice buy dude!

I've always fancied one of those semicircle shaped Passats on Polish plates with some crap tints and halfords alloys held on with 3 wheelnuts

It's been a while since I updated this hasn't it!

When I first got it, it drove awfully. I ended up replacing all four wheel bearings, polybushed the whole car including engine mounts, replaced the gearlinkage with a rose-jointed affair, adjusted the clutch, fitted a set of SPAX RSX coilovers. I alos got a new reg plate for it to match my RS's

Fast forward to earlier this year, I took it to a bodyshop to get a fw little bits touched up and ended up getting the whole car repainted, very pleased with the results!

You know this already, but looks great.

Everything just works and with it being the Special Edition with the bumpers, seats etc everything looks perfect!
