I've been thinking about getting a daily driver for some time now, just to keep the miles off the Ibiza, and so I could strip it out properly and put some fixed back buckets in it. I had in my head, I wanted either a small engined Mk2 Ibiza, Mk2 Golf or a Mk4 Polo, but, this came up at a bargain price:
A 1994 Mk2 Ibiza GTi 2.0 8v. 109,000 miles, T&T until July, Mk3 Cupra alloys, Sony headunit and disc changer, Thatcham CAT 1 alarm, and lots of service history. It has the usual Mk2 arch rot, and some dents, but overall it's not bad and drives well for a 16 year old car!
As usual, with a Mk2 Ibiza there's a list of things as long as my arm to do, but I'm only planning on keeping it for a year so I don't want to spent much.
The O/S/F tyre definately needs replacing, but all the others seem fine. I've removed all 4 arch liners and cleaned the arches. There is some rust starting to bubble, but nothing to worry about. There are two holes on the rear footwell that need welding, and after noticing the fuel flap wasn't sitting correctly, I found this:
The car was fitted with a mid-facelift grille, with a mesh insert. I've put the original insert back it and fitted it all correctly. I've removed the GTi badge from the back (bringing some paint with it ), and I now have one of the badge trims for the reflectors on the boot.
The car will be welded up and hopefully on the road by the end of July. I'm going to fit the black carpet I removed from the 20vt, and also fit the spare Mk3 Cupra gearknob I have (not a fan of the Mk2 one at all!)
I will update with pictures when things start happening!
Thanks for looking.
