1984 Coupe GT with Kamei Kit
 

Right guys, ive only advertised it on here and not on ebay/Piston heads as i would like it to go to an enthusiast on here

ive priced it for what i would let it go for , no more , no less

a lot of people would have seen/read the time/money ive put into the car over the past year odd.

heres what work has been done to the car since i have had it


Head gasket
Inlet Gasket
Injector Collars Changed (along with o rings)
Spark Plugs
Fuel/Oil Filter
K&N Panel Filter
Door Pockets fitted
New ISV fitted (two spares)
Welding done for MOT (boot floor and sills)
Kamei Rear spoiler repainted
Gearbox linkage refitted (no lose gearchanges)
Rear speakers fitted
brand new radiator fitted
2 x track rod ends
1 x new wishbone
1 x new ball joint
4 x new shocks
40mm lowering springs fitted
Full undersealed
all suspension arms painted and laquered
4 x new toyo T1R's
ATS 15" alloys fitted (repainted in silver)

The car has been fitted with a Kamei Body kit which includes front & rear bumper aprons, side skirts, boot spoiler & bonnet fins

the car has only done about 3000 miles in my time of ownership as its spent most of its time being tidied up by myself and is now on approx 170k miles , it burns no oil and uses no water, the gearbox is also very quiet, with it only being a little notchy into 2nd gear when cold. but is perfect once warm

i dont really want to sell her , but i know full well that once the baby arrives i wont have the time/money to work on it to get it to the standard i want and would prefer it to be enjoyed and used than be a "Barn find" in 3 years time

heres the bad points

Rocker Gasket is leaking,
could do with a ball joint on the OSF
lumpy when cold
drivers door has a crease in it
passenger window needs new motor due to bolts shearing

Good points

you will probably never see another GT with the same kit on the road
good strong engine
tidy interior
rust free body (including sills & windscreen pillars)
rare kamei kit
new tyres
long MOT
most of the work has been done for you , just a few finishing bits to get her perfect
the headlights/grille/tail lights are probably worth £500 alone


the car goes very well and sounds really nice, it can be driven as a rolling resto (ive been driving it a lot due to the TD5 being horredously unreliable)



anyhow if you are interested please ring me on 07877 853201 or send me a PM

heres a few more pics, some new, some old

Such a pretty Coupe Gouldy.
Did she break your heart?

haha , she nearly did a few times, just dont want to have it going to waste when i know someone could have better use of it

Someone who loves German cars enough to refresh this rarity NEEDS to have something in the barn.
What's to replace her?

nothing sadly, not for the forseable future,

with a baby on the way and the TD5 going, a BMW 330d will be on the drive with the Mrs' A3 TDi and thats it

Ah, children in the near future. Nuff said.
Congrats, and best wishes.

BTW the 2 pics in the garage are very sharp.

thanks mate, just got to do these things sometimes.

the two pics were taken by another guy not myself, brilliant pics though :)

that kit works wonders ,,best of luck with the sale and your new addition thats on the way:tup: also what is the mileage for the potential buyers on here:D

oops forgot to put that in, will add it in there (170k)

cars is now on retro rides too

bump

what, were you getting rid of her too..??:lol:;)

good move i'd say, some of these cars are not 'worth' selling! if you know what i mean.

I think that this id great news Gouldy.
Congrats on a lady that understands !

I think it's fairly safe to say, and, blowing sunshine up my own arse here, I've been around and about the Coupe with the Kamei kit since it was conceived... Even put pen to paper about them... And you're swimming in a very small sea now, you are in a minority of several rather than dozens... It is knocking on the door of 'unique' especially with the 'Full' X1 kit...

It's a special car, it really is... Trust me.

Good news that!Finders!, Keepers!, beautiful car:tup:

well ive been thinking over the last few weeks, and for the work it needs to get it how i want , its silly to let it go now, just need to get ordering up on some suspension parts and some carbs to run it on, im fed up with the K-jet, just too much agro

Well done Jim - I think you've done the right thing:tup:, where would you find another one?
Some great pics there :tup:
Also , just to let you know that i have entered the Avalon Vintage Run on June 4th which starts from Glastonbury and ends in Burnham On Sea via a 45 mile trip.
Would be great to see you there in your's if you could make it:tup:

Here's a link to the entry form - have spoken to the organisers today and not too late to enter.

I would love to mate, but im working in the IOW for the next 3 weeks solid :(

must have a meet up and a natter one day though!

Not to worry Jim - will put some pics up of the run if i can.
Would be good to meet up some time - might even get a few calendar pics!:tup:

sounds good bud, i may be back this weekend or next, by the sounds of it my job is coming to an end on the IOW so i may be back sooner rather than later :)

this time its final im afraid,

with the discovery not selling and due to being given a T5 camper , the audi is definately up for sale

I am ringing the previous owner tomorrow as he asked me to give him first refusal on it last month, but the car is again up for sale ,

would love it to go to an enthusiast ,

car is going on ebay with £1700 reserve,

have been offered £1500 tonight for her but would prefer a little more

good luck that is a Special car and i hope it goes to someone who knows what it is and don't ruin it :tup:

cheers micky, i sold the disco today which was brilliant, and had a viewing on the audi off a friend who offered me £1500 but i would prefer a little more. i have got the T5 coming on the bank holiday and would like a little cash to do her up a bit, i just know full well the audi doesnt stand a chance of me finishing it :( , shame to see her go but im just fooling myself keeping it

heres a link

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=230656589479

not to everyones taste but worth the asking price in my book :tup:

Personally I'd take the £1500. A bird in the hand and all that.....

If there's no urgent rush I'd see what ebay may fetch but £1500 from someone with the readies who aint gonna piss you about may be a good deal at the end of the day.

If I had cash and space I'd definately be on the phone to you. Have long been a big admirer of this GT even before you bought her but sadly the stars aren't in alignment to make this the right time.

Good luck with the sale Jim, hope you dont end up regretting it. I can't imagine me ever selling mine :)

cheers emjay , i love it to bits and have had a lot of fun in her .

will see what happens on the bay

its a beaut and best of luck with the sale,,hope it goes to a good home:tup:

have got 47 people watching it and over 400 views already so its looking quite promising,

I Personally think you're going about the auction the wrong way.

Put it on as a classified ad at £1750 with a "or make an offer" button, else you will get people thinking they might pick it up for £1000, but not wanting to bid more cos of the very high reserve.

Just my thoughts on eBay psychology.

ive always thought if you want something for £1000 you will pay £1000, doesnt matter if you have it as a bid, classified, buy it now, or anything

it just makes the seller feel better if they get offers every two mins lol

IMHO It's worth £1750.00 all day long...

cheers mate, if ive had an offer from a guy with a garage of £1500 + a 2001 mondeo it must be worth that tbh, time will tell what i get on ebay, but if not i will take the £1500 + Mondeo deal , could do with the space & money for the T5 now

SHES BEEN RELISTED STARTING AT £1500 , The guy who made me the offer has let me down so ive dropped the price a little

sold! , sadly not to an enthusiast, but money is money!

Who but an enhtusiast would know to buy your Audi Gouldy?

Sorry to see it go Jim.You did a lot of good work on it. It was a credit to you.
Is it staying local or further afield?

oh christ..:eek:

ebay in a years time? metallic purple, quattro sticker with tints and chrome gearknobs n' sh*t..?:ihih::lol:

hopefully not, the new owner will be an enthusiast by the time they've finished because they'll end up on here trying to ask how to fix it the next time it breaks.;)

i hope so , i loved the car but its just not the right time for it! , sure you will see it about though,

it went to caerphilly!
