jrh1982 ◊ 2008-06-23 21:49	MK2 Golf i think
Ingo ◊ 2008-06-23 21:50	I'd say so, too. A 1981+ [86 C]. I was thinking about a Golf MK II, but a Polo is more likely.
Ingo ◊ 2008-06-23 21:52	Hmm. But probably a Golf. The shape of the back doesn't fit to a Polo. Polo-ish looks the front, but the difference to a Golf is not big.
dudley ◊ 2008-06-23 22:05	You're right, engine layout, especially coolant and wiper water reservoirs, matches this '89 Rallye: Link to "bringatrailer.com" -- Last edit: 2008-06-23 22:06:32

Neon ◊ 2008-06-23 23:56	I think is a Golf II because the Polo has the bars on the roof
Hiergehts ◊ 2008-06-25 08:45	I also think a Mk 2 Golf as the engine compartment layout looks very similar to the one I used to own..
