My 1985 Mk2 Golf GTI

Well its not much to most people, but to me its a proper car, and I would much rather drive this than a paxo or whatever chav wagons are desirable these days.

beautiful!! great with another 80's hatchback on the forum
So far I think its just me and svempa (Integrale).

Very nice - one of the great ones before the GTI got all bloated and lost it's way (MkV excepted).

Comes close to a classic these days - especially the GTI's are getting rare, and yours looks like it's in decent condition.

I really dont like MKII-s but this is lovely Especialy with the black pirelli rims

 

[Svempa]

Really nice car! Looks to be in mint condition. Welcome to Finalgear's 80ies Hothatch club

Yup, looks good!
How many miles does it have?
And pleeeaaase, leave it in the original condition as it is right now...!

Nice. I never found a good MkII GTI when I spent a good few months looking for one. Sweet. Keep her looking good, I bet they will be work a heck of a lot in a few more years.

Is that the right steering wheel, thought they came with two spokes and a square centre boss with a little VW motif on the bottom right of the boss, or am I thinking of the MK 1.? Anyhooo nice motor bet she handles?

Well, its staying standard looks wise, I have just changed the suspension to Apex coilover adjustable rideheight and dampening, really handles now.

Its done 124,000 miles, the steering wheel is a GTI engineering wheel, pretty hard to get hold of but it keeps in with the 80's theme I think.

Thanks people
