1986 Antibes
Hi,
Thought I should start a wee thread for my 86 Antibes.
Spotted it on ebay back in October, and being the same model, but in blue not grey, that my mum had when i was a kid, I had to buy it!
66k, all old mot's, original bill of sale and a few other bits and bobs.
When it arrived the brakes were seized solid so that was my 1st job. Narrowed down to the fronts only.
Wee car is pretty solid compared to the 92 Gsi I owned back in 2003!https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...31db04bb61.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...b0fd65bd56.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...4909ea869f.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...bb2ead623e.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e8ee3de8c8.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...9b98defbfc.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...accd82c1ba.jpg

Haha, it is a bit garish, but adds to the charm!

Looks original
I had one the same many years ago
Nice find

Might even have been the original discs and pads on it, GM stamped.
Sourced a Philips 752 for it also

Are you keeping original? No engine upgrade or brakes?

Most likely. Get it up to a decent usable standard, enjoy it for a wee while and see what happens.
Got two mk2 golf gti's also, but had to buy this for the nostalgia factor!
She's not quick by any standard if my 1st drive in it yesterday is anything to go by!
But seems a very solid shell, only found a 50p size hole in the battery tray so far

Sounds good. Is it on the original arches? I would just lower it and nice set of wheels for now.

Looks like it, no visible signs of welding or rough edges.
Amazing how rust free a lot of the nuts and bolts considering the age.
Spent its life until 2010 in the south of england which will have helped massively
Got a lowering kit on standby for once its passed an mot. Can't mind what make, but will be a 60mm drop on used shocks and springs.
