I am meticulous about this car and when I was building it I spared no expense. Absolutely everything was taken apart, cleaned, painted or

powdercoated and put back together. I sourced 80% of the fixings and fasteners from VW, the rest were either from the local iron monger of

refinished original parts. Any fixings that I did replace were generally with S/S. The car has no rot or rust that I have discovered.

 

The Engine was rolling roaded on the base map after over 1k miles run in (and 6 oil/filter changes) it produced 197BHP/210ft/lb, if Im reading

the graph correctly. I have since removed the 3.5bar FPR and replaced with the standard 3bar as well as replacing the base map with a

generic map from Bilal at SNS, which he said was an almost identical spec engine. I havent had the car on the rollers since though but it is

certainly a vast improvement.

 

Tracking and camber was done before the last track day (July 2012)

 

Car currently has NO TAX OR MOT, however I am 100% positive it will fly through so I will put 12 months on for the buyer. Tax will have to be

arranged by the buyer. Car can be transported at buyers expense.

 

Bad points:

 

Now Im being honest and probably over the top here

 

-The respray, despite paying good money didnt turn out the greatest, there are some areas where it could do with work and the car was never

fully flatted and polished. I think that if this was done properly it would come out very well BUT some areas still require attention IMHO. No sob

stories but I got to my wicks end with the painter and took the car back rather than let him have it any longer (12+ months)

-Headliner needs a joining strip around the sunroof opening

-No doorcards present, I have made aluminium plates for the rear but have never fitted

-Some marks from loading on trailer, I nicked a wheel and scratched a wing (low down on the stone chip)

-Some bolts and nuts have come loose due to the engine mount combination; these however will be replaced and re-secured

-Charger has covered approx. 20k miles, 17k on 68mm pulley, 2.5k on 65mm pulley, I have new apex seals, timing belt and kluber grease.

Was planning on a rebuild myself, so have still to source bearings. Last rebuild was by G-werks in 2004 where they discovered and repaired

some minor scroll damage.

-Slight knock from rear hub, suspected bad bearing although it has only covered 2.5k, I may be wrong or paranoid though!?

-Has a META System alarm, installed by a local company, works and locks remotely but needs un-immobilised manually everytime. Will

hopefully have this diagnosed by the fitting company.

 

Looking for £5500 ONO

 

Will consider breaking if there is no luck selling as a whole car but I will place an advert when that time comes, so please no vultures just now.

 

Located in Stirling, Scotland

 

PM for further details or enquiries.

 

Any questions please ask, I may have missed some details as the rebuild took over four years! I will update photos at the weekend. Those of

you that know me from the forum will know how much time and effort I spent on the car and what lengths I went to to source parts.

 

No PX's or Swaps. UNLESS its for a Golf Rallye, I will not entertain anything else.
