With great sadness - I'm turning a new leaf in life and selling my 1988 GTU. I'm met many great people with this car and I want to see it go to a good home. Here are the details:

You came out from under the rock you have been hiding under for the past 5-7 years!

This car is a very clean one guys... someone snatch this up. Very well kept!

I know this is old, but if by any chance the new owner or OP sees this, how did the 225 50 16s fit on it? any rubbing issues?
