Aircooled VW South Africa

Well it was time to retire the Seat Ibiza, after I spent money on a major service, skimming the disks & new brake pads, the aircon pump seized a bearing and totally f*%@d out, costing (and this was the cheapest quote I could find) R9500 to fix. After this was fixed I had intermittend problems with the car running erratically, went for diagnostics & the throttle body said goodbye.. Got a couple of quotes and this would have been another (cheapest quote) R7800 to fix.
I have a guy that's comming to collect the car this week - as is/voetstoots - for R38500.
I bought my vrou a new Polo sedan & took her Citi Golf, now my new daily driver..
Herewith some pics:

No, it's a sooped up SH!TY GOLF,

you can never go wrong with a MK1. it will stand by you through thick and thin. had a CTI for 13 years. only to open the engine to replace rings after 12 years. got a TENACITI 1.4i now. not the most comfortable cars but awesome little fun boxes

very well looked after .
engine looks brand new

you should polish those rims of yours you'll be

polished 944 rims

I want to keep these for the Golf, they are 15" and a perfect fit for the car, they will be treated to some TLC soon, just got some other odds & ends to sort, had to get the wife's Polo's windows tinted so maybe after next payday..
P.S. there is some polishing involved in my plans, just need to see who can sort them for me..

P.P.S. I want to fit 17" wheels on the beetle, Lenzo wheels, but can't find anybody that has stock of the ones I want!

which ones are you looking for i know a guy who imports replica rims put up a pic

I want a set of these for the beetle - 17" Lenso IRR 4/100 Matt Black Alloy Wheels - Part No. LEN2495(Autostyle)
