I've always been a fan of mk2's and been looking for an opportunity to pick up a project. Last year it came as a tornado red 91 Golf CL. I bought it off a vwvortex member near Waterloo. It's had numerous previous owners starting in Nova Scotia, making its way to Ontario, sitting in a field for two years and finally me for a whopping $150.
These are the pics of the original FS ad.
The motor/tranny were gone. The interior was ripped apart, all the seats and headliner smelled like mold from sitting outside for so long. Both rear drums were seized, the rear quarters needed replacing, the subframe/suspension/rear beam/brakes all looked like they come off the titanic. I was told the main fuel pump and the intermediate pump were dead. None of the door latches worked and the rear hatch was rotted along the window seal.
However it was a two door, it had no power steering, no ac, no sunroof. All the things I wanted. The floors were solid and it didn't have the famous mk2 windshield surround rot.
The guy said if I didn't buy he was going to send it off to get scrapped. You see less and less of these on the road here so I bought it. The owner had a flatbed and for a small gas fee was able to tow it to my place the next week.
