The Cheat's 1984 MK1 GTi
OK, so I picked up this 1984 GTi today for $500. Has 177k on it, runs and drives excellent. Has a few minor niggling problems like Corrado seats (so therefore the seatbelts from the GTi don't work...leaving the driver with no seatbelt and the passenger with a lap belt only), some minor cancer up top, an off-track sunroof, and is in need of a serious cleaning.
However, in spite of all this, the car runs like a top and made it back from Philly with no problems. Runs a bit hot in traffic, but that could be a fan issue. This is my new daily driver, and summer will be kind to it. Here's the pics from the forsale thread on the vortex:

Way cool! Being a former MK1 man myself, I think you may have a little bit of air in the cooling system. My MK1 always ran a little bit hot until I purged the air...Those are sooo much fun to drive, and $500 was a decent price!

Far out. As I owned a couple of RABBITS back in the day, I have loads of love for them, the GTi.
My 1975 Rabbit lasted so long; I had this hole in the pan I could stick both feet out, like Fred Flintstone. It was a car that you could not kill, really. Hope it runs well for you. DO you plan on any mods?

Former 2005 TDI? Is she gone?
 I hope you can bring the GTI back to life. Good luck to you.

Looks like a good project car. Easy to work on, plenty of cheap parts. Have fun with it.

Dawn- Yes I am!
Chris- Will check that out. TJ- I plan on going OEM+ (modded but not really). Deb- By April 8th...it's tough being a single dad (to a car) and going to school, so I found her a good home. Trey- you know it.  Spiru- fun isn't the word...I'm going out on a limb and saying that it's going to be fanflippingtabulous.  Bought the dash bezel off eBay ($10 shipped!), and am sourcing black seatbelts and better carpet as we speak.

Do a dual round badgeless grille, and it will be a smoking hot GTI.

The one and only, the original FAST.
 Looks to be in decent shape. $500 is a great price. I can remember wanting those rims so bad when I was 16 and had my first rabbit. Keep us posted. Last edited by gypsy73; 03-27-2006 at 01:10 AM..
