No no no - the budget is 1000£ boys! That means you should make a SERIOUS attempt to fix it up for the last 600£. Fix the paint and rust for a few hundred quid, service the engine and breaks, buy a set of cheap (2nd hand?) tires/rims maybe, fix that interior (go to a scrapyard and spend 50£ on random stuff you think will fit - and bolt it on... Also you could probably find a half decent radio/speakers there too for next to no money). Give it all she's got as if you ACTUALLY wanted it to survive and go through another MOT - you know - as if you were a teen who had just borrowed 1000£ from mom to buy your first car - and you REALLY love it! Cmon make an effort - and I have a feeling you could take this one further than you would initially think! These cars were built pretty well - and you can fit A LOT of stuff on them which aren't even VW... Like most Skoda parts from around the same time will fit - and a lot of Vauxhall stuff too (etc.)... Frankenstein the hell out of it! 😀

Volkswagen Golf Harlequin, Harlequin, the Volkswagen Golf Harlequin mixed and matched panels in four colors. 1996 Volkswagen Golf Harlequin. Special-edition, limited-run vehicles so year about right looks like this generation did have the Harlequin but it maybe not on estate so it could become the only one. all the paint needs doing why not go mad . this reg web says 1994-1995

[@QuantumS1ngularity]

If my experience with crappy cars has taught me anything, it's that you never EVER service it after you buy it. You don't change oil or coolant. You leave the original liquids in and simply add in some more IF needed. Same goes for belts and tensioners - you simply don't touch. The moment you do a complete service, the car will leave you at the side of the road. Leaks appear out of nowhere, horrible noises start lurking under the bonnet... all kinds of terrible things happen. So just leave it alone and it will endure the road trip.

Reminds me of my Dad's car. A diesel 2001 Volkswagen Jetta TDI (manual transmission) with almost 300,000km on the odometer. It's in much better condition though; not much rust, though a lot of grease over where the rust is developing, the vents blow foam at you when you turn the fan up but otherwise the car runs great; drove for over 750km on a single tank of diesel just a few weeks ago and the fuel light didn't even come on when I got home. Mind you, my dad does get the car serviced as needed, but really only the engine.

Judging from the square indicators on the wing / fender it is a early one 1994 or 1995 that’s almost 30 years old. Had a late 1996 2.0 GL facelift (bumpers fully in body color) with a bit of kit (AC, sunroof, electric windows, mirrors, 16 inch BBS alloys) drove it in 2005 as a cheap student car and had a lot of fun with it, time flies.

[@schwuzi]

A MK3 1.8 75hp was my first car. Not the wagon though, but it was red as well. It was a 93, so one of the earlier ones. I've had it for 5 years I believe. It was a sad day when I got rid of it. It had way more rust than yours, the engine was VERY unhappy. The whole time I've had it I got around 12-15L/100km for not that much performance at all. In the end it wouldn't run right, had electrical issues due to my various subwoofer, radio and speaker installs, was rusted to absolute hell and every bushing imaginable was worn out. Greatest car I ever had. I got it for 70€ and want one again. Sadly most of them fell victim to rust, and the ones that are not completely shit, are way expensive.
