Why not consider a Mk III Jetta
Per, have you considered a Jetta for your ITB car? There were twice as many Jetta's built as Golfs. Therefore being able to find a good one cheap is a more likely. We found ours in a junk yard here in central florida for $200.00. The body was perfect, the engine was seized. It has a sunroof, but after we removed the glass, etc. and sealed it up weight issue was negligible. Plus you might come across one without a sun roof. Mine was the first to race in CFR, and now another has been built, and I know of a third that is under construction. Plus, two drivers, Randy Pobst and Paul Ronie, both said that they were impressed how well my Jetta handled over the GTI's they were used to driving. Paul commented that his "hands" did not have to move as fast with the Jetta as compared to the 2 door Golfs. Plus you can get the weight down. A little work scrapping, but it can be done. Just a comment.
