Re: 1984 GL5 Hatch need to move it on

And its German, not Dutch, Belgian or South African, proper German over-engineered. Could not afford a diesel Passat, and am reluctant ever to spend more than ...

Re: 1984 GL5 Hatch need to move it on

Car is now sold, going to an enthusiast who really wants it. Went for a price fair to both parties. Been working on it this morning, and will be really sorry to see it go - the sound of the 5 pot engine is seductive. I'll still be around, and my son and I are still working on his GT Beetle resto, so...

Re: 1984 GL5 Hatch need to move it on

Thanks Mr Coco for making the effort.

Sensible but not quite what I think its really worth, even in these difficult times.

But I appreciate your offer.

OK

Time to stop dreaming, I need this gone and dont want to sell it on Ebay.

While I remember - the fuel pump is a bit noisy, but there is a brand new clutch and clutch cable with the car which it doesn't need yet.

1984 GL5 Hatch need to move it on

Regrettably, due to changes in circumstances which will involve me driving many more miles, I really need to move the Passat on. Picture below, I've no idea what its worth, but I would like it to go to someone who will respect it and not mess with it. At the end of the day though money talks. If the...

Re: GL5 Estate

You asked what we all thought.

I think what you have done/are going to do to a rare classic is horrendous.

But my views are well known, others will defend your actions.

Whatever, its your car - enjoy it.

Re: Project Coupe

Then I'm tempted to suggest that you should put your "pimp my ride" type photos on a forum where they might be more appreciated. But I could never be that rude. Perhaps others may care to comment. Or maybe I will get banned.
