crawford i knew you or pete would have a laugh at that, its orrible and the price how did they come up with that? pick a number, any number?

Sorry guys, but that looks fantastic - perfect retro mods.
Looks just how I would expect a money no object Golf to look in '79...
Timewarp-tastic!

As for the price - if it's as mint as it appears with genuine mileage, then maybe, just maybe...

Don't get me wrong, it probably took some doing, i mean he must have taken it to every trimmer in the country before someone actually agreed to do that sick interior

That car is a classic example of why you should keep the mods subtle, it may have been all the rage at some point (although i suspect only in the previous owners head ) But now it looks so much more dated than the origional.

If this fetches 7.5k i need to speak to the buyer, i have loads of invisible 'emporor' clothing he would be interested in

That looks the shizzle, shame about the interior, mind you on the upside you could play chess on a long journey.

[Crawford_S2]

Know why its so low mileage though, cos the owner spent all his folding getting it to look like that then woke up and thought, JEREMY! I AM NOT DRIVING THAT THING! Wonder what he chopped it in for, white capri with a whale tail perhaps

[BRY]

Same kit as mine, mine has standard seats and is dropped onto H&R springs.
Mirror polished Clio 16v (turbine) alloys and a DTM exhaust

[Fat Audi 80]

That looks the shizzle,

Is that good or bad?

Here's my take on it.

Yep the mods are ugly, even if they are period ones. The car does look mint, but if it was a standard car that good, I suspect it would fetch even more.

I suspect it will go for the asking, just so that someone can try and win the concours comp at Inters this year!

Cheers,

Steve.

I'm ready for you fatty :mischeif:

Stone chip meister

[Fat Audi 80]

You just don't let it drop do you?

I can't wait for you to see my car again when I have filled the chips and wet sanded them out.... :mischeif:



Cheers,

Steve.

[Crawford_S2]

Each to his own Bry but personally i hate that kit. Sorry bro

[hiltoa]

I expect the inspiration for the seats come from a Ferrari Daytona:

Very period, but I admit the retrim would be better in a more subtle colour!

[Rusty]

It's close but not quite there. Ferrari inspired seats or not, the interior isn't particularly pleasant.

Exterior is nearly spot on, is that a Zender / Kamei / other kit? I love the factory BBS kit, convinced a mate to keep it on a resto project and he never regretted it! (nor the 150bhp 2.0 8v!)

Bry, perhaps twin DTMs will make a retro come-back! They were once (as Jamo so eloquently put it) the schizzle!
