Hi, New to this forum but not new to VW! I’ve owned numerous mk2s and mk4 R32. Owned this mk2 since 1999 fully rebuilt it back in 2008. Since rebuilt it has been parked up in my garage and only driven about 100 miles since 2008.
Yes that’s always been my favourite colour on a mk2 that’s why I still own it. And sadly got rid of the R32 18 month ago and have regretted it every since as I own it from almost new.
Don’t know really why I just parked it up maybe just lost interest due to the amount of time & money I spent on it!! Or ain’t got the time ie got black leather colour concept front recaro seats out of a mk3 sitting in my loft waiting to retro fit in which have been there for 8 years, they are the last thing left to do to finish off the car and just can’t be arsed to find someone to alter the seat frames. I did do a complete fluid service a couple years ago, planning to get it mot’d and taxed to use but that never happened. Or just maybe had the R32 to play with!!
Doubt I would ever sell it, was offered a lot for it last year of my mate who I bought it off in 1999 but I couldn’t do it too much sentimental value plus I know it pisses him off that I’ve still got it. I will get back to it eventually to finish it off.
