Hi
My GTD is up for sale in Coventry
1991 Golf GTD with speciality faded VW red paint
Power steering
Rev counter
Electric windows
Sunroof
Central locking but doesnt work. Bought a new pump but problem seems to be in pipework.
MOT august
Tax July
90k on clock. No history prior to 3-4 years ago when it had a brand new head fitted as previous owner said it was bought as a cambelt failure, although i saw no sign of valve marks on pistons when i took the head off so it cannot have been bad.
New alternator fitted same time as above
Brand new Bilstein lowered suspension fitted 2-3 years ago
New thermostat
New fan belt
New front tyres fitted before christmas.
New front wishbones, bushes and bearings last summer.
Work that needs doing:
1. Head gasket blew 3 months ago and was fixed but one screw head rounded at the end of 20nm-60nm-90degrees-90degrees so i cannot complete the final 90+90 after 600miles sequence for that bolt.
The cars back together and it ran for a few minutes as you're supposed to but i never finished the sequence as i didnt want to warp the head. Probably needs the HG doing again as its unlikely to hold with only 9 tightened properly.
2. Top mounts at front, drivers side rattles. New set included just never had time to fit them.
3. Was told by previous owner the rear top mounts needed doing at some point and have the parts he gave me still. Passed MOT fine as it is.
4. Broken boot lock(thief), drivers door lock (housemate) and rear passenger side door handle (superhuman strength girlfriend). All repairable.
5. Interior needs tidying up as its missing the door speaker grills and gear gaitor.
Reason i'm selling is that the HG needs doing again and i dont have the time to do that and all the other niggling jobs as i've just started hospital rotations for my medicine degree and am working 24/7. Sadly being a student i dont have the money to pay anyone else either. Prior to the HG blowing it ran really well, unfortunately i just dont have the time to play about with it any more.
I hoping to get £300 seeing as its got receipts for loads of new parts since 2003/4 and 50 quids tax still on it. Send me a pm on here if you're interested.
