1990 vw mk2 golf gti 8v Croydon head gasket gone?

[jaykay]

hi, I selling my mk2 gti as I had it quite a while and fancy a change.

Its a 90 spec 8v, tornado red, black roof .all standard apart from a set of spax coilovers, enkei wheels and a sony head unit. its not a minter, got a couple of rust scabs, some stone chips and a little bit of fading. being honest here. it polishes up ok, and I love the look of it.
also got a bit of paint flaking on rear bumper where I reversed into a rail way sleeper the other day (wasnt happy). will be putting a new head gasket on it this week (genuine vw) has had a water pump and heater matrix on it too. has a rip on driver side bolster and no headlining. I have fabric, but foam board was broken. has a 2.5 inch exhaust on it, hangs low, sound loud but..works. can have all the spares from the other ad too to go with it.

I'm based on croydon/biggin hill border and want £800 for it, or I'm looking for something rwd to have a bit of fun with, mx5 or e21/28 etc... Have a look at the pictures and see what you think, cleans up nicely.

[robstaples]

That is a bargain. I've stuck a link to this ad elsewhere as I know several of the guys LOVE Mk2's.
Good luck with the sale, shame it did nt come up before I got my Cupra.

Forum etiquette shows you had an interest before me, so get cracking.. lol

I have an MX5 with tax and test (1.6 manual import) 1990. It's silver with a black hard top and has an LSD, nearly new tyres and refurbed Revolution alloys with Bilstein dampers and springs.

If you fancy a deal with money my way, please let me know

[jaykay]

sorry about lack of replie, didnt notice your posts!, right about the tax situation, and mot.

and the mx5, would be very interested, but my uber queer insurance company will not insure imports, so thats a no go. Just bout the 318is out of the rr classifieds too, so need this gone.

[jaykay]

it over heated today. not when i was driving, so don't know how bad. i drove it hard for bout 5 miles later on, and it got to about 3/4 pn temp gauge, and expansion was steaming. treat as h/g gone, any offers before i take coilovers off and anything else good, and weigh it in?

Need pics

[jaykay]

curse word, I deleted the pics by mistake.

CHECK YOU EXPANSION BOTTLE SEAL ON THE CAP MY mk2 jetta was doing that and found seal was not working leaking as pressurised system so water was coming out, new cap and all sorted.

luck with sale

+1 on the expansion bottle seal, my mate had the head gasket changed on his gti a few years back and the car was no better turned out to be the seal a new bottle cap sorted it out.
